6 Hours of Spa

[dbk]

Qualifying about to start.

FIA WEC app continues to work as normal.

In the U.S, you now have to watch via the Motor Trend app. It's $4.99 per month. The feed is good but no more integrated live timing for us in the U.S. Races will be broadcast on Velocity. Irritating but whatever.

Ford GT was quickest in every free practice.

Pla on top hands over to Mücke.
Priaulx .2 behind in 2nd hands over to Tincknell.

FIA WEC qualifying is average of best laps of 2 drivers.

Very little between the Porsches and Fords. Ferraris filled with Le Mans sand.

Nothing looks like this thing.

Tincknell went out on the circuit in the road car. Was impressed. Said the braking points were the same in the road car and the race car.

Thanks for the info Dave. Those GT’s look fantastic at speed.

Tincknell overcooked it into turn 1 on lap 1, ended up getting overtaken by an RSR. Currently safety car because of a 911 in the tires, GTs 1-3.

 

[dbk]

Shit, big crash. Tincknell in the 67 big crash at Eau Rouge, car destroyed. Looked like maybe he had a tire problem. He's out and ok but their race is over.

 

[dbk]

66 in 2nd sandwiched between the Porsches, 2 and a half hours to go.

Tincknell ok.

 

[Apollo]

Glad he is okay, that crash looked head on. Johnson seems to be at a little slower pace than the leader.

 

[dbk]

Johnson is on double stinted tires I believe.

 

[Apollo]

1.5 hours to go. Pla is slowly closing the gap.

Deja vu all over again....

 

[Apollo]

Less than an hour to go and it is really tightening up. Pla only 2 seconds behind.
