Albacete 8H Race Review Suzuki Castrol took the Albacete 8 Horas Nocturnas race win by finishing three laps clear of second placed Folch Endurance and a further two laps ahead of Yamaha Austria. Further down the field many of the finishing positions were more closely fought… Kawasaki Bolliger vs Yamaha Phase One Endurance Both of these teams had seemed to have a podium position within their grasp for much of the race, Bolliger confident after a second place at Assen and Phase One much improved after testing between races. In the end Bolliger finished a lap behind third placed Yamaha Austria, and Phase One saw third and then fourth place slip from their grasp as an over-heating engine forced the team to pit twice in the last hour of racing. Sapeurs Pompiers vs Shell Endurance Academy vs Diablo 666 The battle for sixth place ran for the full eight hours of the race, with Kawasaki Diablo 666 Bolliger, Yamaha Shell Endurance Academy and Suzuki Team 18 Sapeurs Pompiers taking sixth place in turn every hour as their rivals pitted for fuel and tyres. Team 18 Sapeurs PompiersIn the end it was the experienced French Sapeurs Pompiers team that took sixth position at the flag by stretching out their final stint to well over an hour while the two British junior teams made stops for fuel.
