Good call from Charly Lamm and great work by the drivers to keep the car on track - Nice!

true, but I have a feeling the #23 and #16 have gained some time. The track was wet for long enough to justify the wet tire call IMO.
They'll lose some time now, but they're getting close to the pit window anyway. Big loser will be the #13 car with a very slow stint - they would have been better off on wets? |

So true. But ... Belgian driver, Belgian team, needing 3rd & 4th driver. That was destined to happen, wasn't it :\ |

Lietz in the pits... for slicks I suppose.

Did the coverage go away? All I can find in the GT2 page is the first hour.

Sadly I lack said skills, and to make things worse, I don't have MotorsTV to begin with :\

And in a couple of minutes we move from being able to watch commercial-free across the pond, better coverage than ever before, straight back to the dark ages! I am going to guess part of it comes from not wanting to have an extra set of commentators and production staff to do the marathon.
I'm back to the DSC updates that have been my guide to this race for years! |

Motors TV is listed as one of the outlets that said it would be live, nothing doin... Maybe their PR dept needs to get is act together or at least get the story straight. |

And I would largely say that's the motivation to only have one set of commentators for the entire weekend. If Hindy didn't broadcast his true feelings about Ratel and his decisions (for the entire world to hear) he could gotten this gig. |
