I'm guessing we'd have heard if there was going to be streaming of this by now. Or have I missed it? Would be a shame for the Bentley's debut to not be shown live.

Also, both Dragon Racing and all six AF Corse entries are listed here:

http://www.crankandpiston.com/on-the...al-entry-list/

Would say the AF Corse lead car will almost certainly be the favourite, but the Ramos/Zampieri/Broniszewski and PierGuidi/Bobbi/Skyrabin lineups are none-to-shoddy either. At the moment I'd say between those and the Bentley, depending on its BoP and how willing they are to push it.

I think it's tough to choose between the top 3 AF Corse Ferraris myself, those are 3 stellar lineups (and a lot of Venezuelan money!) if they are all final. The top two Kessel 458s, the lead Black Falcon SLS would be my other picks from the known lineups, with the Bentley and the Gulf McLaren capable of springing a surprise.

Ah yes, forgot to mention Black Falcon #1, although #2 is hardly a slow lineup either, although unlikely a winning one.

Well, my skepticism over the finality of those AF lineups was well-founded. Only 1 car, for Wyatt/Rugolo/Cioci. Not predicting an AF Corse win anymore!

I suppose it makes it that much more likely that we'll see a surprise winner, but it's a big letdown. Still think it's between the top 2 Kessel cars and #9, but #10 could join the Gulf Macca and and Bentley in the surprise pile. Perhaps we'll get a pleasant surprise lineup from Ebimotors, Autorlando or Almeras? A competitive Porsche would shake things up nicely.

Not hears anything so I assume not. They often seem to be wondering why this event doesn't have the stature of Dubai, can think of a couple of reasons...

There's not even a final entry list anywhere is there?

As of Streaming I´m not sure - but they had a very good live-Timing last year where you could even track the positions of the cars on the track - I assume this will be case this year too.

The event is slowly building up - what did we have at the 3rd edition of the Dubai 24? Can´t remember a Video Stream there too.

Regarding this 16 cars the Leipert-Gallardo and the AF-Corse Ferrari we have 18 intended (dont want to mention "confirmed") cars. So lets see what comes next.

Anyone in Thunderhill who can ask the Wolf-Drivers whether they have tickets to Abu Dhabi?

We're officially at 25 cars now - although the list as it was sent out by the Gulf 12 Hours organisation still shows two AF Corse Ferrari's.

Cheers Marcel, I assume #93 is still an Aston, though maybe it's changed.

Don't suppose the organisers have mentioned streaming or other potential coverage that would take place? Will still be F5ing DSC all Friday anyway....

You are correct, the #93 was and is an Aston Martin V8 Vantage GT4.

Will try to find out if there is any live stream available this weekend as soon as I arrive in Abu Dhabi. Must be TV crews there as it's also the final round of the Trofeo Maserati.

Does this race make any sense in December? Most of the teams are now heading to 2014.

I welcome great races like this any month

But what a shame it is not broadcast. Would gladly pay to see this race, especially as the Bentley debuts.

The gulf12h-homepage has a nice live-timing organised by raceresults.nu. Which even features the position of the cars on the track.

More about the race (foto - results - reports -(in german)) can be found here:

Have to say that I'm impressed with Bentley's performance, 1 minute behind the overall leader at the moment, with 3 hours to go.

Also, this race marks the endurance debut for 991 GT3 Cup, #44 is currently in 11th. before this, 991 Cup models were available exclusively in Supercup.
