Heading over for the race too from Shropshire, tunnel tomorrow night, camping in Francorchamps. Really looking forward to it now, say hi/wave if anyone sees a couple of eejits in a still-stickered-up-for-Le Mans BMW! Enjoy the weekend everybody.

I have everything crossed for a Marc VDS win. This year, it absolutely has to happen.

As for the Bentley, I guess their pace will depend on how many bags of sand they remove from the car.

Other 100kg lost!

Looking at Quali, they are there or thereabouts, although I think their race pace is better, winning 2 BES races and all.

Yeah, sounds really bad.

In other news, WRT Audi pulled a good move coming in during this red flag period for a full service - They may get a drive through but the time saved could be around 10 minutes.

Just tuned back in, how long has there been a red? And the 111 Ferrari, wasn't that the one which crabbed all the way around to the pits earlier. What happened?

Must have been red for about 30 minutes now.

Ferrari 111 and 333 crashed, not sure on corner. 333 was up in flames and 111 was across the track. The helicopter had to land trackside to airlift 1 or both of the drivers to hospital (Most reports seem to indicate the driver of the 111 car being worst).

No replays have been shown of the incident, only the aftermath when it was very first on screen. It didn't look good frown
