Correct.
Older GT3's were allowed less stops.
And the mighty team joest messed it up anyway.
lowndes car did an extra stop because they did something out of schedule,.. i think they stopped inside the 10 lap gap...
also, if anything Eddy and Lowndes were seeds, and Luff was the arguable one.
Eddy was GT champion, Lowndes obviously and Luff although a pro, hasn't won anything, but was still very easily arguable\y a seed.
But we all know, and accept, that Audi simply bought the event so could do whatever they liked.
There WAS a rule a while ago, and I think that determined a seed as someone that had won a championship in the last 3 years, or was a professional driver with recent wins (or top placement), and if the driver had been out of action for 3 years, he could be determined a master, rather than a seed.
