They should replace it with a GT3 Z370.

The number of silly penalties in this race is pretty shocking.

Agreed, I'll rephrase my original post

The number of penalties taken for silly mistakes in this race is pretty shocking.

Why do all the cars I love die. Goodbye Jaguar.

E- Looks like Hirschi hammered the Audi up the back end

28 second lead for Sims in the M6 at 1/4 distance... long way to go yet, but I'm glad at least the Bimmer has some pace. At the N24 it looked like they would be struggling on pace.

The uber panzer is leading the way into the Belgian forest at night then?

PWC race is safety car city.

Jesus, Martin Haven just needs to stop talking. I'm going back to the John Watson stream

Good run for Bryan and he will start 4th tomorrow.

What's the deal with the commentary(at Spa24) saying the AMG GT is an Audi and now the Huracan is a Ferrari?

Blancpain GT commentators for you. The german MotorsTV crew is similary annoying "Lambordgenie Hurican"....

Looks like this is going to be another long caution for barrier repair.

Driver of the Team Parker Bentley which wrecked is okay apparently, was walking around and such. That car was a bit messed up at the front by the looks of it.

Is it me or is the M6's exhaust slightly louder now? Did BMW upgrade the engine or something? Just seems like the Bimmers are louder than they were at the beginning of the year.

Good time to go get some food.

Unlikely to be any difference, it's the turbo layout that makes them as quiet as they are, and that's pretty fundamental to that engine design.

Judging by most of the posts, this race has apparently been the 24 Hours of Derp.

It's still in the planning nothing confirmed but they are still trying to get funding from jaguar or at least some free cars.


Yet jaguar have been testing both GT3 and GTE F types.

Alright, fess up. How many illegal things did you have to do to get that info

Rain?

Seems Maxime Martins preparation comes into play..

Definitely explains why he was so good at the Nurburgring that one year.

Old car and no elite drivers, same problem that Porsche has.

Though to be fair, you kinda know where all their drivers are.

PWC race is safety car city.

So overall, today is driving like a moron day?

May be the microphones then.

Seems to be, because as I read your reply a Mercedes took out an Audi.

Woah that push was dirty and definitely not needed.

They need to get a penalty for that. Yes, the Audi ran wide, but it was obvious that he'll turn in again, absolutely unnecessary move.

By the way, rooting for the BMW now, Maxime Martin is the man!

EDIT: Why were people saying here, that the early accident was the Ferrari's fault?
Kevin Estre should've lifted...

Indeed, Sims had a great stint also. Eng's in the 99 now, let's hope he can match his team mates.

There is no way Estre could have seen that guy and even if he had he was following the rules of the track to the letter, the Ferrari is the one that committed the violation by crossing the clearly marked white line.

No penalty...

 

[Tired Tyres]

No further action on #8!

You're allowed to cross the pit exit line, that's not violating anything. Estre got a blue light at pit exit and the cars approaching on the racetrack always have the right of way. Both german and english MotorsTV commentators and the german Eurosport commentators also agreed with me.

Ridiculous.

And you are all wrong since there would be no need to have that line there if cars exiting the pits were forced to stop and wait to merge onto the track like a freeway. That line can be crossed only when there is no car exiting the pits.

Could you please point that out to me: http://www.racb.com/fileadmin/libra...eries_2016_Sporting_Regulations_S02_FINAL.pdf
