I see the Lotus XV #21 is in the pits after 20' of race. All not going well?

After 50' of race, only twenty one cars in the same lap,leader is O Galant/Shelby Daytona Coupé. Very fast pace.

Ho yes. More than on usual, don't you think so? Wonder what will happen during the last twenty minutes. OT: was just wondering if you are watching live. I have the answer…

I see a bloke going from 22 to 26 after pitting. Last and first lap have been terrible. I've never been good at this taking too much care to the brakes temp. 30' minutes to go, SC, and only 13 cars in the leader lap.

Will, did you see whathappened to car #64? Was second. Got a 12" penalty after pit stop. Cheq flag. In a blink if an eye, went to 3rd place when the 12" peanlty was implemented.

Right, with so many Cobras on the entry list, not a surprise. Some E Types doing well. I'm always surprised by and ol'bloke. He was so slow with his SLW E Type, mostly 10/12" a lap compared to a good one. But because he did his best lap at the end of the race I think he needs more a schrink than an other mechanic!

50's Legends: Lotus XI winner by a very tight gap to Shelby Cobra 260, AH 3000 and D-Type those four in the same lap. Good to see the single Amazon/122 S entered finishing (19/37). Former PM got a 27' penalty for pit stop infrigement… in troubles with regulations -again- it seems.

Notice the Bizzarrinis quickest time and fastest lap was nearly 3 seconds faster than anything else which is quite an achievement. It didn't have the highest top speed though, that belonging to a Daytona Cobra.
Fifties legends race looked to have one heck of a finish. Its a great mix that grid with Pre 66 Touring, Pre 63 GT and Pre 61 Sportscars. |

HTC: the winner can't win (180" penalty, pit stop). Still, nice podium giving Quadcam, Batmobile and Quadcam. When you think that four or five years ago an Escort could win the overall classification…

Decisions for car #50: first penalty 180" for pit stop, reduced to 3", then 30" for overtaking under YF
 . What a weekend!
