I actually watched this episode, I was told it would be up my street and that was spot on. Seemed like a proper 'cheap' car challenge with some interesting tests for the old barges. I mostly skipped Matt Baker but stopped to watch the digger challenge, a nice alternative to driving when it's too icy.
And so to the endurance race. After seeing Rory's 'modications' to the Silver Shadow I wasn't expecting much, but I really enjoyed this segment. It didn't seem like they tried particularly hard to prepare the cars, there was no talk of budget so I don't see why they had to cheap out on anything.
The race itself really appeals to me as I've always liked the idea of competing in a non-pro endurance race somewhere between this and LeMons, some of the team names like "The Cunning Stunts" and "Mostly Rusty 2 Seaters" show that they aren't taking it too seriously. Perfect.
I looked up the results and they actually offer handicap laps to help the slower cars be more competitive; offering prizes for the overall scratch winner and the winner when handicap laps are taken into account. The TG team had 43 handicap laps, the most that had been given out and still only managed 69th so they really were quite poor, definitely not on the same level as the 24 hour race in the BMW but it still looked like a great day out.
The race took place in October 2017, surprisingly.
