Wake up to see the McLarens and Bentleys have plummeted down the field over night. That's my race over with, back to bed.

Two Bentleys are still in the Top 10 if I remember it correctly!

Glad to see Marc VDS' Z4 GT3 on P1, it would be interesting to see if this is actually the last endurance race of the Z4 GT3.
 
Well if you count the Turner Motorsport as GT3 (it's lightly modified from GT3 to GTD) then that still has Petit Le Mans to do.

They are currently 13th and 39th while the 58 McLaren which was in a solid 3rd and gaining on the leader last night is now 20 laps down. Meh.

The Jaguar is still running! And in 16th place too!

The other handicapped competitor in Alex Zanardi sits 14th :lol: Fantastic job by both teams! I'm hoping the Emil Grey Jag gets a top 15 :) and looking for a VDS win!

They still have no provisions for a customer M6 programme yet, and if teams are going to run them next year, they'd like to order them fairly soon. There'll still be a lot of Z4s for at least another year.

Same with the R8 Ultras
 
Apparently #45 BMW Z4 in the lead has some pretty major mechanical failure, spun out is probably out.

Oh noes :(

It went out to the soundtrack of a gearbox eating itself. Very terminal.
 
It locked the rears, either the diff or the gearbox was making a horrible clunking noise. Werner's staying in the car and talking to the team.

EDIT - Out. The #46 is in 2nd and just under 15 seconds off the lead now.

The commentators suggested it was probably the differential, but whatever it is that failed, it sucks :(

The team chef of Marc VDS said that first the power steering failed and then the engine, he suggested that it's probably a/the oil pump.
Just so incredibly bummed for Marc VDS. :(
 
Balls.

Hope the other VDS car can win it still.
 
46 on 2 for the lead. Nicely done. 2.7 seconds opened up in one lap.
 
The GT Academy GT-R has just stopped. Why are all the teams I'm rooting for having issues? :lol:
But hey, if I saw it correctly, the Marc VDS sister car is now in the lead. 👍
 
22 has a drive through. :sick:
 
A tad warmer today

Number 22 Nissan has been blue flagged for over 2 laps to let the 232 Aston past, get that heap out of the way!!
 
So happy for Marc VDS, again phenomenal race by Audi as well. Pity for the Nissan and Bentley teams, was hoping for a better result for them :(
