Second place 12hr Merdeka at Sepang Circuit
Peter flew to Malaysia last week to compete in the Merdeka 12hr race for Lago Racing from Australia, the same team he competed Bathurst for in the beginning of the year.
Also the driver pairing was the same with Roger Lago and Dave Russel joining Peter for this race. After winning the race outright in 2010, Peter was optimistic about the chances this year as the Lamborghini Gallardo GT3 FL2 is a strong package at Sepang.
The Lago team had prepared the car perfectly and Reiter Engineering had sent some staff to support with the pitstops. The car ran faultless all weekend with only a rear light bulb! failure during the race for which they had to make an unexpected stop.
They qualified the car on P7,which is an aggregate of the fastest time the 3 drivers do in their respective qualiyfings.
Peter took the start and immediately gained a position and from their on the drivers put in strong stints, made no mistakes and had a fantastic crew back in the pits who had control over everything.
This resulted in a well earned second place overall, which was the maximum they could have achieved!
