thankyou

yes it's on Eurosport 2 from 21:30

Maybe earlier, according to Daily Sportscar, I assume they are thinking that the trialists might all fall off their collective logs and rocks, personally I dont.

For people who don't have access to Eurosport have a look at this.

I think the race starts at 20.30 UK time.

thanks Eurosport 2 coverage starts at 21:30 so i guess that will be delayed "live" coverage of the first 1.5 hours

[y2blade]

on NOW!!!!!!!

[kartman24]

Close at the front :¬)

[freedman]

Top 6 still within 20 seconds

[kartman24]

Top six within 11 secs after nearly 14 hours, not often you get that at Le Mans!........Martin

[Ipelm]

Why did they come up with rules so that the cars look so bloody aweful, do they have no soul?

Good coverage - shame they have all the floodlights on though!

In fairness to Le Mans they (Daytona) do have full course cautions quite often which closes up the field, which is a bit artificial; however race enjoyable, but cant feel passionate about it like I do Le Mans or ALMS.

I can't see ANY spectators at Daytona - what on earth is going on?!

[skeggysteve]

I've not got Eurosport so watching online and can't see any spectators either but I just put it down to the bad feed.

Great racing thou' - less than one second between 1st and 3rd with about 45 minutes to go.

[Vette_1978]

Just dropped on this. 4 cars on the lead lap and all within shot, well 4th place seems to have dropped off at the moment.

I've no real interest in DP's but would like to see JPM win it.

[freedman]

Montoyas won it at least twice

Donohue winning it in a Porsche engined car would be fitting though

[Vette_1978]

Looks set with just over a lap to go. JPM either settles for 2nd or bins it!

[freedman]

So Donohue in a Porsche

Somewhat fitting

Did JPM briefly lead the race in the final 2 laps or was the lap timing thig having a fit?

Something wrong certainly, it showed that he was in the lead by over 2 seconds as the chequer flew

30 seconds later it changed back to Donohue winning (just)
