Doh! I was fooled by the scroll bar'd window inside the scroll bar'd window.

Bentley's fastest

I didn't think the 2nd session started until 22:00 (local time I guess) ?

On the second session the times are identical to the first session.

I think the first session should have finished at 20:00 BST.

They won't get anywhere with both weight and air restrictor penalties. I'm sure they're trying their hearts out, but being so heavily penalised is not fair - just because they haven't sold enough cars!! I think we'll have to wait until next year to see what these cars can really do....

Why is No. 92 car's last lap only 1' 10"? They must have really got a flyer on that one!!

Edited to say, if they finish, even that will be a great boost for TVR - should shut a few people up when going on about TVR reliability

Totally agree with you nubbin. Anyone who thinks they are going to do well in terms of position are in cloud cuckoo land

As you say just to finish will be a result...but the UK press will no doubt criticise if they come way down the field.

Just getting there to begin with is pretty amazing in itself!

Just 9 hours to go till I can head down there and cheer them on!

Live Radio Le Mans on at the moment although there's a Red flag due to a Pilbeam dumping oil at Indianaplois corner.

They're not last - that's good enough for now. They won't be last in the race either (there's confidence for you!!)
