Lichfield racing driver Adam Christodoulou has described taking part in the Daytona 24 hour race as “an awesome experience”.
The city racer drove for the SpeedSource team alongside Sylvain Tremblay, John Edwards and Jonathan Bomarito as they chalked up a creditable sixth place finish.
And while he admits the result could have been better, Christodoulou was delighted to have experienced the atmosphere surrounding the race.
He explained:
“The Daytona 24 hours was unlike anything I’ve ever imagined or done before. A real proving ground that requires true grit from the drivers, team and car. Perhaps it was not quite the result I was hoping for, but I was grateful for the strength of the team I had been a part of.
“There was never any sense of giving up even when the car wasn’t in its best condition towards the end of the race. A huge amount of respect to my co-drivers and crew – I was lucky enough to be able to rest during the night between being in the car – but the crew stayed up and endured it all to make sure the car kept on running.
“It was a fantastically challenging 24 hours, but an awesome experience. This is one race I want to be competing in every year.”
