The setback

Team Schrick is dogged by bad luck. The second Aston Martin Tim bought especially for suspension testing, still isn't working right. The engine doesn't output its full power. The tight schedule allows the team only a single opportunity to test the suspension on the Zolder race track in Belgium.

As if that wasn't enough, race management announces rule changes for the 24-hours race, with immediate impact on engine development. The power of big displacement race cars will be limited. A shock for Team Schrick. All plans for the engine build are void. The team has to start engine development and construction from scratch.

While engine builder Darious is frenetically working on the engine, Jörg and Tim decide to refresh their race experience. Both haven't driven in a 24-hours race in years. They fly to Dubai to compete in a 24-hours race. Everything goes wrong: The car doesn't work and on top of that Jörg and Tim get sick.
