Foofing Hell, TENTS !!!! The Manthey set up looks quite humble by comparison, but Herr Manthey knows what to spend the money on, who would bet against him pulling off another victory ?

Really hope the Brunswick Boys get you both to the grid and safely to the finish line. Very Best of Luck, "pedal to the metal" !

BMW Z4M #239 is out. A total bummer - we had started to do really well following the poor qualifying sessions.

I'd just taken over the car at about 22:30 and completed one full lap - on the next lap there was some problem developing at the front - it became clear we had a front-right puncture. I was proceeding around the circuit on the RHS slowly and with my right indicator flashing when a Porsche Cup overtook a Seat and didn't see me limping back to the pits and all three of us smashed big time - I was taken abruptly from behind. It was a mess for some considerable time. This was in the fast section after Bergwerk just before the Kesselchen left kink.

Massively disappointed frown

I must say that while I admire what the marshals do and am endlessy grateful - they must be crazy. Even under double waved yellows some of those boys are really ripping along.
