It drove into the pits, didn't look too bad at that point.

De Vries admitted on the team radio he was doing some adjustment in the cockpit and wasn't actually looking in front of him.

Keep an eye out for Lexus news.

First stewards decision against De Vries... warning for crossing the white line at pit entry.

[airbusA346]

Suspended 1 minute stop and go for #78 Lexus.

#78 Lexus will start from the pit lane.

Because of the pit lane start a 2 minute time penalty is added to the first pit stop.

According to Timur Boguslavskiy they have sustained quite a lot of damage (sound like it's done the steel boot floor etc).

You can say what you want about the number 7, but the Lexus is hard breaking/ slowing down in the exit of the corner, right on the racing line!

Drama in warm-up. Not the way to start the day.....

NFA on the contact between #47 Cool Racing and #3 Cadillac.

It’s a rubbish colour.

They have not time enough to respray the damaged parts between two shunts.

And rendered wrong, shouldn't it have a slash in it or is the FIA trying to be American?

In the warmup? We aren't going to get much green flag running if it keeps on like this.

[Articus]

Not surprised to see Kelvin van der linde involved. DTM...

[Adam43]

Do we know starting drivers?

But I’ll start us off. Here’s the starting grid. (Sorry not done in normal table format to annoy tapatalkers).

Actually it is just this I think.

Another post I forgot I’d done!

Yes, in warm up. Replay looked like #47 dive bombed #3 and made contact.

[airbusA346]

Don't forget the commentators are going to get excited (for no reason) during the first Ferrari and Toyota pitstops.

Weather looks ok for now. Hopefully the sun shines on you all! Let's have an amazing race and GL to all the competitors; drivers and teams.

From what I can see, we should get 12 hours of dry, and then chaos for the second half of the race.

[Ferrari333SP]

Here we go!

[airbusA346]

And they're rolling...

Hello, everyone. LFG!
