But he's picked up a track limit penalty. 30 seconds at the next stop.

And also a 30 second penalty for not existing car (#136)
That is impressive from race control

rika · 1 Jul 2023, 19:40 (Ref:4166164)

some lapped cars are annoying and not helping at all

rika · 1 Jul 2023, 19:44 (Ref:4166168)

sudden traffice jam between la source and eau rouge

rika · 1 Jul 2023, 19:52 (Ref:4166171)

Watson keeps saying Enslinger instead of Engstler.
And the other one says it correctly.

That's weird and stupid when both say differently

rika · 1 Jul 2023, 20:05 (Ref:4166177)

car 20 does to 66 what Rossi did to 31 at the same place (at chicane)
So that means no penalty.

And #20 gets a penalty.

Of course, that driver is not named Rossi.

Van der Linde brothers 1-2.

Hopefully they do not emulate the Vanthoor brothers at the 'Ring last year...

D. Pin in the barriers on her outlap

rika · 1 Jul 2023, 21:22 (Ref:4166197)

Bah! We get that safety car crap again!

rika · 1 Jul 2023, 21:39 (Ref:4166200)

That idiocy with the Safety Car took 20 minutes AFTER the #83 car was removed.

That I find absolutely ridiculous

2nd time some cars got a fake FCY warning and countdown, only this time it resulted in the huge incident between 32 and 998

rika · 2 Jul 2023, 02:25 (Ref:4166217)

Just before that, Rossi hit another car again (the 16 Audi).
Will he get away with that again?

Simmi · 2 Jul 2023, 02:52 (Ref:4166219)

Tough one for the two BMWs. Weerts lifts/breaks with five seconds to go until FCY on the flat-out Kemmel. Verhagen not expecting it and plows into the back of him.

Obviously he's got to get down to the FCY speed from VMAX which takes time but still felt like Weerts maybe lifted early. That's certainly what Verhagen implied in his interview. But we're only talking a second or so.

Anyway glad to see both drivers okay given what happened on that same piece of track a few hours earlier.

There was something weird with the countdown. Normally it should do 20 -10 and then countdown.

Seems like it didn't do that in all cars.
And that was not the first time, happened

rika · 2 Jul 2023, 03:12 (Ref:4166224)

Barrier repairs that would take 1H are already going on for 1H40.

But yes, this is Belgium.
Just look at how long road repairs and things like that take here.

rika · 2 Jul 2023, 03:41 (Ref:4166225)

FCY at 03:33
SC at 05:26 - now all the junk with pass around

Green at 05:41- finally !

That FCY-SC took 15 minutes, unnecessary

J Jay · 2 Jul 2023, 05:02 (Ref:4166229)

Stolza should be getting a penalty for punting off Engelheart there.

rika · 2 Jul 2023, 05:03 (Ref:4166230)

stupid safety car leads to another incident.
and stolz is an idiot.

With you there.

Team manager of #777 summoned to stewards.

Drudi has taken off. Mostert is holding his own amongst the best in GT3, good to see.

Someone at SRO really needs to push the idea of highlights video in 6-hour sections.

Ahhh one of SRO's great traditions is not being able to re-edit a highlights video once you've started. It can only be added to. Addison and Watson were joking about it earlier, they must hate them too.

rika · 2 Jul 2023, 08:00 (Ref:4166245)

Has 777 ever got penalty for running in Engelhardt Porsche?
