I'll be at Paddock in the stand for some of the day, and wandering the full loop for the other part - if anyone looks TenTenths specific I'll say hello!

You can’t miss me, I’m short, fat and I’ll be clad in BMW gear.

My favourite event of the year at Brands Hatch and I had to miss it last year, so no way I won't be there this weekend.

[Alfaholic]

May pop down on the Saturday if the weather holds.

[flatlandsman]

Bit of a poor entry to be honest, am more tempted by Donington but that is not great either!

If the Mustang was there I would be,

[v8supes]

Honestly i dont know, the support races dont seem great and last time i went there was a long delay for barrier repairs.

[flatlandsman]

I know, thats the deal it is a 300 mile round trip for me, tickets are cheap on Sat but last time it was tough and I am a bit done with GT3 lol!

Now if GT4 was one aswell, get in there

I don't know if this has already been discussed before, but is Theeba Motorsport out of business?

Pretty sure Theeba was never anything more than a naming exercise run by SPS for Reema Juffali

Just been announced on social media. SSR Performance have teamed up with Herberth Motorsport to enter a Pro class Porsche 992 GT3 R in this years Spa 24H.

The drivers will be Mathieu Jaminet, Matt Campbell and Frédéric Makowiecki.

[J Jay]

That's instantly one of the strongest lineups overall at the race. Some strings have been pulled to get those three in the same car!

[airbusA346]

Another Porsche announced for Spa.

Phantom Global Racing
- Thomas Preining
- Jaxon Evans
- Joel Eriksson

[airbusA346]

Porsche really aren't messing around with these driver line ups...

HubAuto Racing
- Kevin Estre
- Patrick Pilet
- Laurens Vanthoor

[v8supes]

Just to let you know so that nobody is caught out, both Sprint races this weekend are on the Saturday. Race 1 at 2pm local and race 2 at 9pm local.

Qualifying is on Friday evening. 9:10pm local

Feels like there is a big hole in the GT WC Sprint races this year without a Ford Mustang in it. I know it was not there before but after watching the Paul Ricard enduro round, having that car there clearly makes it extra enticing. GT WC sprint does not feel much different from DTM right now other than slightly longer mid race pit stops due to the driver change.

[flatlandsman]

I think the elephant in the room is DTM trying to stay relevant when it is really a series based on saloon cars not GT3 cars, I feel strongly that SRO should rightly take them to court!! They will not but you get my point!

[v8supes]

I dont see how WRT wont win the title this season. The pace that both cars have shown has been much better than last year. This weekend at Misano they are in a class of their own and to top it off their pit stops are significantly faster than any other team. The only thing to derail them this weekend was a track limits penalty that cost them pole for race 1. Still won it though.

[Badlands99]

I think that the M4 might get to carry a couple of bags of sand for Spa though ........ It is blisteringly quick in GT3 guise at the moment and I can see a few BOP changes coming rather soon!

[stuart thompson]

I’ll take it while it lasts, BMW are so often quickly BoP’d if they have a sniff of success, so I wouldn’t be surprised if a ton bag of sand was put in the car now.

BMW won Monza and Misano last year and still managed to win Spa 24.

Misano was last year two weeks after Spa.

Comtoyou must have an awful parts bill already, two more accidents for them at the SPA 24 hour test.
