Tried that but same problem....

 

[Speedster502]

Do you have the news channel 'Bloomberg'? Because it's also shown on that. Other than that I'm not sure what else you could do, sorry!

 

[MitchZ06]

Yeah but the TV guide here shows it not being live. Speed (ch505 for those in Aus on Austar) will be showing it tomorrow in full so I'll be waiting for that.

 

[Speedster502]

Ah, strange. Bloomberg shows it live for me.

Really bad luck for the JRM boys, they were doing so well.

 

[Clark]

That sucked for Westbrook/Dumbreck 👎

 

[Tired Tyres]

That's racing for you.

Only 7 days until Sachsenring.

 

[Speedster502]

It did suck for them, at least they will soon have a chance to redeem themselves!

Apologies for those who haven't watched the race, but checking this thread out probably isn't the best idea if you don't want spoilers!

[Speedster502]

Qualifying Race for Sachsenring is about to begin.

 

[TJ_GTplayer]

How long till that 41 ford gets past the Nissan ?

 

[Speedster502]

Not long I'd imagine, once the tyres on the GT-R start to go it'll probably easily slip past.

 

[TJ_GTplayer]

And he's done it yh

 

[TJ_GTplayer]

Squaring up the Aston no. 8 now

 

[Speedster502]

That's one way to get past. Probably will go into investigation now though, as it wasn't strictly the Aston's fault.

 

[TJ_GTplayer]

Yh definitely, the 41 still going for higher up the pack though.

 

[TJ_GTplayer]

Nice stop from hexis

 

[daan]

TJ_GTplayer - We don't need a running commentary or multiple posts. Edit your post instead of making a new one if no one else has posted in the meantime. Thanks.

 

[TJ_GTplayer]

Yh sorry. I'm not sure how to edit posts from the app

 

[Clark]

So how was the racing yesterday, I was out all day and didn't get to see the qualy race?

Also TJ_GTplayer it's 'Yeah' or 'Yes' not 'Yh'.

 

[TJ_GTplayer]

Look you will not give me spelling advice it's yh. You knew what it meant so get over it. I would totally understand if it did not make sense but it did.

 

[MitchZ06]

AUP says you are to use proper spelling and grammar and not textspeak. Its yeah not yh so get over it.

Other than that I'm pretty shattered how the weekend went for Catsburg and Hezemans, was so excited to see a Corvette on pole then boom, rules kicked them back to 7th and then Catsburg spun after passing a JRM GTR....stopped watching the race after that.

 

[Clark]

•You will not use “textspeak” (“r”, “u”, “plz”, etc.) in your messages. Decent grammar is expected at all times, including proper usage of capital letters.

I'm not trying to be a mod, but they will tell you that you signed up so you must adhere to the AUP.

Look you will not give me spelling advice it's yh. You knew what it meant so get over it. I would totally understand if it did not make sense but it did.

It's not for the benefit of people that speak english and know what you mean. GTPlanet also has a lot of members who aren't fluent in english or use a translator to read posts, those couple of extra letters really help them out.

If it keeps raining here in the Midlands today I might catch the race.

 

[yellomello]

I did noy know that Peter Dumbreck still races after 1999

 

[TJ_GTplayer]

Right ok. Just thought you were being weird will bear this in mind from now on thanks.

 

[TJ_GTplayer]

There was a great battle between an Aston Martin, a Lamborghini and a GTR. The Lamborghini ended up in the gravel and the aston ended up ahead of the GTR.

Just to let you know that the 2nd round of the Blancpain Endurance Series is live on the GT1 website tomorrow. The race starts at 13.15 local (I think).

[flemaldinhio]

Is anyone going to Silverstone this weekend? I'm going on the Sunday, hopefully the weather will be good!

 

[Speedster502]

Yup, I'm there on the Sunday too. Weather is currently set to be okay:

http://www.myweather2.com/Motor-Racing/United-Kingdom/Silverstone-Circuit.aspx?sday=2

Bit overcast and a bit of rain in the morning. Hoping the good weather stays for the rest of the day.

In other news Nissan is on top so far after the free practice session this morning:

Nissan set the pace in Friday's Free Practice session with the British pairing of Richard Westbrook and Peter Dumbreck fastest in their JRM Motorsport GT-R No.22 with a best time of 1:08:17.399.

Second was the sister car, the No.23 of Michael Krumm and Lucas Luhr with a time of 1:09.59.285. The Exim Bank Team China Corvette No.11 of Mike Hezemans and Andreas Zuber muscled in on the Nissan party to be third quickest, some seventh tenths off the pacesetters.

Pre-Qualifying takes place this afternoon at 15:15 local time.

I did hear from various sources on Twitter that they had some trouble with the timing equipment, so that might be the reason they've taken a rather strange top time.
