Mardenborough having a good race so far.
 
#888 has somehow ended up upside down during the Safety Car :crazy:
 
Ugh... Haven.

Endurance racing without Hindy... just not the same.

Anyway... c'mon Gustl!
 
Feels like the worse mistake prone GT3 race ever…. just feels that way.
 
I say red tarmac from Paul Richard would be better than gravel.
 
Proton Racing Mustang in P40 overall.

Anyone know how to get live timing ? I checked this thread and the race homepage but i can only stream the video.,
 
Fork lightning very near the track now 😬
 
Yep, that's lightning..

24h of Safety Car

I feel like racing in these conditions was the norm not even ten years ago. I'm of two minds when it comes to so much safety car during rain. Are these the types of race cars that are built to combat this weather?
 
Safety car for the rain or for the lightning?

I remember a red flag at 24h Nürburgring and Maxime Martine flying in the rain at times beeing 20 seconds faster than all other GT3s.
On the hand a drifting Audi R8 Safety Car at Le Mans during red flag. I don't think it was different and it's just that all three 24h races this year are hit by these conditions.

1730h here....

current count - 3 Mountain Dews
1 Red Bull
2 Cherry Cokes

About to heat up some left over pizza for dinner
 
Does anyone have any footage of that Audi lifting off at the top of the hill? I've heard to commentators mention it but haven't seen it
 
Safety Car in at the end of the lap!

Edit: I wonder if increasing the minimum ride height for endurance races would help to prevent getting in situations like this, where you either have to spent an insane long time behind the Safety Car, because of water on the track, or even completely red flag the race.
I don't feel like the rain tyres are necessarily the problem here.

Jesus. The stationary camera, at the end of the old pitline, showing all those cars just flying past the stranded McLaren at full throttle was insanely scary.

Absolutely shameful conduct.

With tracks like Spa having official micro timing sectors, and the race Stewards having full access to them, I hope they throw the book at everyone of those drivers that didn't slow for what were yellow flags, possibly double yellows.

They don't get to choose to put themselves or others in serious danger.

I sincerely hope big fines and licence endorsements are coming for the guilty.
 
what the hell ??... i just looked up and the #64 Mustang is P9
