He unfortunately had to abandon the full 24 our attempt after 17 hours due to shoulder pain. This still does not take away the amazing achievement of the other records
About an hour before the start of the attempt to set the record, it stopped raining, so the track was still wet at the beginning of the attempt, so I had to drive at a reduced speed or adjust it especially in the curves of the circuit. After about an hour the track started to dry and that’s when I started to accelerate. During the ride, the average temperature was around 20 degrees Celsius, I felt fine until 16 hours of riding, when the pain in my left shoulder appeared, which got worse, and I was therefore forced to stop riding after about 17 and a half hours.
