Sort of. In an ideal world there would have been a qualifying session on Friday as well as the two free practice sessions. That would have evened things up. But the bottom line is that BF3 was supporting the LMES, so they had priority.
The time gaps were just about okay, but BF3 was first on the track at 09:00 and pretty much last off it at 18:40. Then the cars had to be prepped for the Sunday morning...

anyway, no reason why someone cocking up should be the story of the weekend because clearly it wasn't.
anyone care to bet against parente for the title?

You're absolutely right. There were 28 other drivers who all had a story to tell, but probably none more so than Parente. He won the first race after a classic slip streaming battle with Charlie Kimball; the second after somehow managing to break the tow and run at the front in clean air air, and the third after being accidentally nudged into a spin at the first corner and dropping to 12th or 13th. Quite how he managed that, I still don't know, but it was a bloody good effort.
And no, I wouldn't bet against him for the title now, although there are still 9 races to go...
