[ELMS Race] 2017 4 Hours of Silverstone

[TheMightyM]

Race starts now!

[J Jay]

Good start all round.

Ben Hanley doing his best Harry Tincknell impression and clearing off at the front.

[TheMightyM]

A LMP3 spins. Imagine that.

[Akrapovic]

Excellent racing so far. High Class Racing are putting in a good early stint.

[TheMightyM]

Richard Bradley is fast.

[TheMightyM]

After 31 minutes, Ben Hanley is nearly 11 seconds up over the third place car…

[J Jay]

High Class Racing in for their Pimms refresher and monocle change first.

Indeed. Pretty impressed by Fjordbach, give his lack of experience at this level.

--

And HighClass, Dallara and Fjordbach lead. A first for all three of them.

[J Jay]

The LMP3 spin disease is spreading. Hedman does one at the Village now.

Edit - De Sadeleer (#3 United LMP2) is under investigation for overtaking under yellows.

[TheMightyM]

And the Panis Barthez car just rejoined after a long pit stop. I know that they have a pit reporter, wish they'd run over and ask what that was all about.

[J Jay]

29th to 1st for Richard Bradley; if anyone was still in doubt as to the talent this guy has!

Not sure ELMS has a pit reporter. If they share with WEC then the pit reporter is in the wrong pit lane for this race too.

Any GTE cars in the race?

There was an interview with Hanley, earlier?

All massively spread out because they totally messed up the BOP.

We'll spotted. Was it Louise Beckett or did they have their own?

Can't tell for sure, but I think it was her, yes.

They had an interview with the DragonSpeed team earlier during the race, so they do have one. It's Charlie whatever her name is, the same woman they had last year.

[Akrapovic]

TV director is having a crap day. Keeps bringing up the wrong TV graphics.

[gert]

Not Louise, but Charlie then ...

[Akrapovic]

I hey those two mixed up a lot.

Will be interesting to see how the Dallara does with new tyres. Richard Bradley is destroying this race lol. He should be in WEC, he's so good.

[gert]

Is it AF Corse running the AT Racing LMP3 car? They used to run AT's Ferraris in the past in ELMS and GT Open.

[J Jay]

I assumed it was, but I haven't seen anything confirming it.

Problems for the #39 but it gets going again.

Edit - #8 & #32 both given drive-through penalties.

I saw a picture on DSC or S365 with their Ligier and a Ferrari inside the same garage, so I presume AF Corse run it
