Just found the Alpine stream on you tube
Best camera angle so far
 
BOP seems to have really helped the BMW's. Based on qualifying, was not expecting them to be able to hang with Porsches and Fords. It's made GT-E all the more interesting.
 
Doesn't look like any big impacts, not sure why that car can't get back to the pits.
 
There are cars going around sounding as if they are hitting 10k+ revs, I don't know what they are but they sound so awesome.

Also, error hour has begun.
 
Looks like the bodywork may be lodged onto the rear wheels, rear wing looks a bit mangled, guess Isaakyan tried to make it somewhat drive-able, but it's being craned now.
 
What the heck was he trying to do there? Had something in his hands but couldnt make out what it was.

Think the rear bodywork is fouling the tyres and marshalls dont want him to drive it in case it dumps bodywork on the track.

More likely it's the tool bag.

Probably the Porsches, they rev to 9000+ Rpm
 
Yup, there's body damage on the SMP car Meanwhile, the Ford and Chevy duel is on!
 
Not worried, anything can happen in the next few hours to change that.
 
Looks like they're still trying to get the #17 car up and running
 
#17 off again
 
Well they had the #17 up in the air and now they've set it back down?
 
Yea, the Ford V Chevy battle very much still alive, with being the #63 vs #67, good stuff.

On the subject of Ford still, aside from being one of the best looking cars in the daylight, they're one the most eye catching at night with the night-time lighting arrangement. Love the way the colour coded lights have been set-up around the rear-buttress of the car.

Agreed - they look like something out of Tron.

Now that I can agree with :lol:👍
 
Aaand the crane is back. Looks like it's finally curtains for #17.
 
Wish they would stay with that battle a bit longer, much more interesting than watching a car being lifted off the track.
 
So it looks like a puncture but not sure if the wheel itself is off or the bodywork just makes it look like that. Hmm.
 
If I heard right, the Toyota drivers are told to maintain the gap between each other regardless who is faster.
 
Buemi closed that gap to Kamui rather quick.
