Wrap up:

Goldin car - 48 laps DNF
Spencer/Mandeville - 101 laps DNF

Speedsource - 284 laps DNF (10hrs 15mins elapsed)

Looking at the times though Pobst's (GT class winner) fastest lap was a 1:54.8
while the Speedsource car was 1:54.4

The car did have the speed by the looks of it to be competitive. If anybody has a blow by blow on the timeline of circumstances and incidents for SS RX-8, please offer it up.
