Sounds like practice/qualifying has been brutal enough, with a couple cars already crashing out of the event!

I'd say so have you seen some of the surrounding areas at the track?! They are empty in some places!

I find myself strangely impressed at how fast that recovery truck is being hauled around the track with the Porsche on the back! Must be fun for the driver laugh

Are the porsches the mid engined ones that they ran at Daytona ? - ETA: doesn't look like it from the entry list.

I saw the green after the Audi crash, did I miss much ?

If you crash rules are they give you the keys to a tow truck and you have to finish the race with your car on the back hehe

He binned it on the entry to the chicane and left it stalled, broadside to the track. Drivers went to the outside the first few times but as it was blind a car went inside and hit both the Audi and the wall, quickly followed by the next car who followed his line.

Yeah I saw the crash, just wondered what I had missed in the meantime.

The #24 GTR just walked away from the Merc on the straight, if they can stretch their stints like that every time they are sitting pretty.

Wheel bearing doesn't sound like a quick fix for the bentley.

That wasn't BTCC Jeff Smith doing a BTCC on the Lamborghini was it?

(expects "yes" to be the answer)
