Some silly mistakes giving us Mercedes on Mercedes action. Late race FCY. Not sure this'll go green for any significant time here.
#1 Audi bump drafting under yellow. Edit: Marshals struggling to recover the car, as none of them appear to understand turning circles and steering wheels. FCY now becomes a SC. This is a mess. |

After 3 minutes of messing about, let's call the safety car anyway. Lol!

And now the marshals have wedged it in the gap so a truck is needed. Good stuff. This'll be a yellow finish I suspect.
Edit: 1, maybe 1 lap shootout. |

What odds there will be another big wreck if they get 1 racing lap with everyone in line?

Livery working of Good Smile Racing for Spa24h.
Team GSR seems to tie up with Ram Racing. http://ameblo.jp/stgt/entry-12283102275.html http://www.ramracing.com/ |

Maybe they are using a Ram chassis? It's a good idea for GSR to team up with Ram for their European jaunt. I wish them all the best |

Some good spots for spectating on the pit roof and on the top of the hill, but you'll have to look through catch fences (rather than over them) in many places and the main grandstands are useless for anything other than the 24h (which in itself is a bit **** right now with only CN-cars and Porsche Cup-cars going for the win) as all you see from there is pitlane.

It's great. There are a couple of shots in there that I took from public area, like that Attempto Lambo which is straight through the fence at the chapel hill. I always like those shots the best, and Zolder is a great track for photography from spectator areas. The best parts of the track you can get to as a spectator and even the view from up the pit building is pretty cool when there are pit stops going on or at the start (the flags hanging along it are **** as they obscure your view). The outside of the track not so much because most of that is private property. But I was surprised by how much I enjoyed shooting at the track. And I've been there a couple of times before but somehow I enjoyed it much more than before. Maybe because I'm enjoying photography much more this year than before and a track I don't often visit and that's easy to shoot at made it even more fun.

Shame it's so hard to watch races at Paul Ricard - all that paint hurts my eyes! Really not a nice track for watching on tv. |

How did the #51 make it to the barrier? Just use the brakes no?

Heavy barrier damage from the high-speed Enge crash, this will be a long SC.

After the relative shakeup of the SC, Costa now leads in the Emil Frey Jaguar.

Marcel Fassler is the luckiest person in the world right now, had a loose wheel from his pitstop, spun across the track at the end of the mistral.

Normally GT3 cars are pretty solid but we've seen some reliability issues, major and minor.
Race has settled down now. Got about 5 or 6 cars that could win this. 50 Ferrari, handful of Mercedes and of course Bentley still have to find a way to throw away a potential win. |
