Bugger! Apparently the #8 Bentley came back in because of "something dangerous flapping about in the cockpit". Frank Biela has just run out of fuel!!!!! Not a good day for British interests, what with JCW crashing the Lister this morning

Richard Stanton is out on the track trying to fix number 91, they still have not given up... fingers crossed

(only the driver is allowed to work on the car while it is on the track)

eddited to add
Also he says crash caused after a hit by a prototype which damaged something on the TVR and which broke on next corner

I wonder if he has a Steve Heath bible with him? Has anyone tried Gaffa taping a suspension arm back together

Looks like the other car is running Mobil 1 given by the amount of runny stuff under the car at the pit. Has no-one told them that it leaks less with the Motorsport 15W-50 version?

Why did the safety car out? Had to leave for an hour or so, so I missed that

#92 TVR has lost drive at Indianapolis, and there are reports of rain at Arnage. Should make life interesting!
