First off, a great result for Lucas Ordonez/Alex Buncombe, finishing 6th, and only missing out on 5th by .002 of a second 👍

Here are a few of my picture's from todays race (race 2 is tomorrow, unfortunately I won't be there :( ) You are cheering the 350z No14 ;)

Lucky start for Ordonez/Buncombe, the number 5 Ginetta pulls off on the first lap with mechanical troubles.

Lucas starts to push, locking his brakes into Vale.

Lucas under pressure from the no.6 Ginetta of Fletcher/Abbott (they would go on to finish 4th)

After the mid-race driver change, and now with Buncombe at the wheel.

He really starts to put the hammer down, gaining on 5th by 1-1.5 seconds per lap, but it's not enough, and they miss out by .002

WOW!! amazing stuff!!!

He beat down M3s and almost had the same time with the Aston Martin!
.002 is NOTHING really.

Great JOB!!!!!
 
It looks like Lucas Ordonez/Alex Buncombe will be having a great year, they finished 3rd in race 2 👍

Now I wish I'd gone :grumpy:

Full race two results here

After two races they're in joint second place in the championship with 10 points 👍

The second race was full of action and drama with 5 D.N.F's and 1 car disqualified

I wonder if he ever will make it into F1?

Unfortunately for Lucas, no. He's probably too old now and it would be very hard with the GT/endurance route he seems to be taking now. I'm sure there are many other factors too.
 
I think he has taken the correct route. He is "old" if you consider him a future F1 driver.
But, and this is my wish for him, I would like him to get to drive at LeMans 24H in the future and win his class! Age don't matter that much in GT racing, pure skill matters more. Just my opinion of course.
 
Footage from race two

It's a bit ruff around the edges but it's all I can find a the moment

Lucas is driving after 2:30 👍

Awesome footage from the second race, he came off twice but he seemed to be pushing hard the whole time in true GT fashion, doing the series proud
