GT World Challenge Europe 2020

[gert]

Jaminet gained about 21 seconds over the last 2 laps over the leader, Tandy even more.

87 went off, left rear damage. Luckily not causing a FCY

[gert]

4762th penalty for car #33.
It has amassed the whole collection of pit lane infringments, refuelling times, speeding and track limits at least once.
And a few spins and other accidents too.

[gert]

FCY / SC coming up. #129 stopped out of Eau Rouge, next to Raidillon

#51 takes it technical stop now
while doing that, they block the way out of the garage for #52.

That was not very AF Corse alike

--

FCY keeps on going on, the stranded car is long gone.
Race control has no clue who is actually leading and are waiting another lap for timing to update

That's 2 laps of FCY after the track has been cleared before they even sent the SC.

#35 off, big hit it seems

[gert]

FCY - #35 BMW off at Blanchimont

[bentley speed 8]

#63 off.

[gert]

Lind off. Hits the tires at the left of the Raidillon climb, and then goes in the tires at the other side.
Damage at the back. Front destroyed. He tries to take it back but finally parks the car

That's my favorite car done

[bentley speed 8]

A Ferrari went off there too. Wonder if there's something on the track?

[tux]

Commentators are making a meal of this. Lind got a snap of oversteer, corrected it which put him onto the wet area and he lost the car.

[gert]

another car off at more or less the same spot : #991

It started with an Aston Martin going off, then the Porsche, and finally the #78 Lamborghini.

The Aston got away with it. #991 and #78 are out

[bentley speed 8]

Well that was a multi-car incident. Could have been a lot worse

[tux]

#78 Lamborghini tried to squeeze between the Porsche and the wall but the gap closed and ended up hitting both.

[gert]

and yet another FCY

#52 off
That's another destroyed race car

[gert]

The safety Car failed to pick up the leader.

It picked up #98, but that's not the leader because it has just pitted.
It is #66 that's half a lap in front.

Ridiculous !!!

One more reason to stop this FCY - SC idiocy.
Amateurs !

--

Excellent, and now the 2 Audi's - after being given half a lap at speed while the others are stuck behind the SC - enter pitlane.

Basically the 2 Audi's got a free stop.

Talk about f***Ã*ng up the race.
Shame on you, SRO, and thanks for ruining the race!

--

The idiots at Race Control still don't know who is leading.

[bentley speed 8]

the audis might have gained due to this fumble.
The commentators are making this even harder... it's clear that the audis are the leaders still.

9th and 10th have unlapped themselves (the 2nd gpx porsche and the honda)

[gert]

Vanthoor is now 6th. They got royally screwed there.

--

Those who want to see how not to manage a race should watch the last 30 minutes, from 06:40 to go until 06:10 to go.

SC at speed for a full lap overtaking racing cars left and right and still missing the race leader.
It's both sad and hilarious really

[tux]

Do we really need 15 minutes of highlights every hour or so?

[bentley speed 8]

almost a quarter of an hour gone just for the highlights. I'm fine with them, but they really need to cut down their length to max 5 mins, or display them less frequently

[gert]

i agree. They have been doing that every hour. Even missed the restart after a safety car on 2 occasions.

Some things in the highlights are not relevant anymore.

A drive-through for #31? Just show that it expires behind the SC and we're done.Etc ...

[gert]

AWS Race prediction: 25 - 51 - 4 - 66 - 72

Utter nonsense, I say.

[bentley speed 8]

I wonder how they come up with those stats...

[gert]

All of the top 6 on slicks except for Attempto which takes wets

[tux]

I love this, it’s fascinating. The jeopardy, the risk. It’s just great.

[Akrapovic]

I've just turned it back on. This looks like good fun. 1st-4th closing up.

[gert]

Vervisch has track position but how good are his rain tires after running on a partly dry track?
