Platinum P2 drivers are limited to 50 mins maximum (I think the same applies for gold). There's a minimum for silver/bronze, but their driver time is usually covered by the pros not being able to drive more than one stint max.

Edit: Thanks to the impeccable timing of Truswell, if a team has one gold/platinum driver, that driver can do 100 minutes max. Two drivers, each does 50.

Ah, OK, thanks for that.

**Aysedasi** · 19 Apr 2014, 16:16 (Ref:3395068)

So where can I get one of those AF Corse beanies.......?

Stuart Hall finally gets in the Aston, was consistently quicker than the 2 cars in front of it with Dan Brown in the car. Shame its a lap down on them though.

Saw some good racing thusfar, it is a nice warm up for the wec race tomorrow.

**Aysedasi** · 19 Apr 2014, 16:34 (Ref:3395080)

Does anyone else get 'teed' off by this constant, optimistic headlight flashing when a couple of cars get close together - if you're battling for position, do you really expect to intimidate the driver in front into a mistake by flashing your lights?

**Aysedasi** · 19 Apr 2014, 16:41 (Ref:3395085)

I don't understand these things (seems to be a lot I don't understand these days!), but I've only just worked out that I can up the stream quality from 380 to 720 - massive difference..........

tux · 19 Apr 2014, 16:41 (Ref:3395086)

The only thing that would improve this race would be another 4 hours.

Well, it would have been improved for me had I been there as I intended to be, but having accepted the inevitable, I've really enjoyed this.

Big shunt - Dolan!

Safety car.

J Jay · 19 Apr 2014, 16:48 (Ref:3395091)

Big shunt there. And it's Dolan unfortunately.

Bernard Bram · 19 Apr 2014, 16:48 (Ref:3395092)

Big Impact
:-((

Richard117 · 19 Apr 2014, 16:49 (Ref:3395093)

That's a big one...

tux · 19 Apr 2014, 16:49 (Ref:3395094)

Scary accident.

Beryl · 19 Apr 2014, 16:51 (Ref:3395095)

Poor rearward visibility in a Ferrari once again a factor I feel. The Ferrari ran him clean off the road without batting an eye.

I suspect he had no idea he was there.

Maelochs · 19 Apr 2014, 16:55 (Ref:3395098)

Didn't look deliberate, and there would be no reason for Rugolo to hinder a P2---I think he just didn't see Dolan coming up.

And thanks for that 360/720 tip.

bentley speed 8 · 19 Apr 2014, 16:56 (Ref:3395099)

I don't think the Ferrari driver is to blame though

Agreed - and NP.....

J Jay · 19 Apr 2014, 16:58 (Ref:3395102)

Sun is pretty strong down the straight, wouldn't have helped the already maligned rear visibility. Let's hope we get good news about Dolan soon.

**Aysedasi** · 19 Apr 2014, 16:59 (Ref:3395103)

I notice that on the timing page, which tells me that it has been translated, the #50 car is stated to be 'The Tree Competition'.........

bentley speed 8 · 19 Apr 2014, 17:02 (Ref:3395104)

Hope that Dolan is ok

nobster · 19 Apr 2014, 17:03 (Ref:3395106)

Shame, hate to see a crash like that happen.

JoestForEver · 19 Apr 2014, 17:05 (Ref:3395107)

How many times have a 458 enroll itself into an accident because of poor visibility? 2011/2012 Le Mans? Where there is a Prototype accident, there is a Ferrari.

Still keen to see Dolan all fine and well. That was a massive hit and really not intended by the Ferrari driver actually.
