Thank you SRO for that first FCY/SC.
You see what that brought us

Some poor driving going on recently.

That's 11 minutes and 34 seconds.

Great going, SRO!

Shame because the first 2 hours were green.

17 minutes and 16 seconds of non-racing :/

[gert]

34 and 56 get a drive-through now for something that happened 2 hours ago.

As if race control didn't have time to sort that out during all the non-racing in the last 2 hours?


EDIT:
More old offences get penalties now. What was race control doing during all the FCY/SC breaks? Taking a nap?

[gert]

Yes we rather see another replay of all the past 'action' instead of the battle (and pass) for 2nd and 3rd

[tux]

TBH youll be glad of the lengthy SC periods in about 18 hours time because lots of cars seem to have retired already

@John Watson: there's no "i" in Gounon.
He's been around long enough and you still can't pronounce his name.

[gert]

#6 Lambo in the lead.
The car SRO would abolutely hate to win.

Luckily for SRO it has a Pirelli failure

It's the same for Lietz. Several commentators pronounce it as 'Ric Hard' not Richard.

It's utterly stupid when you have 2 commentators pronouncing his name 10 times in 2 minutes with both doing it differently.

And to be fair, most of the times it is Watson who gets it WRONG.

Wat a surprise!
No SC this time!!

SRO are learning (albeit very slowly)

[gert]

There's a battle for the lead going on.
Let's show some highlights instead at a random moment: 22H33 local time on the clock and 18:12:37 to go.

What's the thinking here?

More Pirelli tires doing what they do at Spa:

#100 Porsche with a puncture

... and likewise for the #74 Porsche

I dont think its the Pirelli tyre thats bad though. More that the resurfacing in certain areas gives more grip, theres more gravel on the track. Not every manufacturer is having tyre problems.

Audi & Lambo very quiet in this race.

Seems that Mercedes, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Mclaren avoid punctures with regularity unlike Lambo, Porsche

Not the #20 Mercedes, the Heart Of Racing Aston or the #71 Ferrari.

Some just had it at a worse place than some others

Fastest lap overall for Picariello in the Pro-Am Porsche in 30th.
