It was a boneheaded bit of driving, given it was on the second corner of a 12hr race, difficult to apportion blame given the footage available but I think there was blame on both sides and it was certainly avoidable.

Yeah no doubt going to fire up a few people, but in my opinion he has earnt the right to have his opinion. Supercars don't have to deal with multi class speed differentials or light transitions either.

Given that GT3 regs have always been aimed at the amateur right from the conception of the formula, the cars are certainly easy to drive for the pro's in comparison with something like a V8Supercar. SVG is on the money.
That doesn't mean the racing isn't competitive or the racing isn't any good though (not that SVG implies this either, he's obviously a fan of driving the GT3 cars) |

Weather, tyres hold key to Nissan B12H chances
Seen this a few times now, has been the same way at the mountain since the sierras Heat and turbos at the mountain are not an awesome combination |

its only taken a year, but finally the 12 hour begins with the first practise
a 30 min session for amatuer drivers only (not sure what that means for the prop team, however there are a couple out there) A time around 2.37 is need to meet the 130% cut off |

P1 is over
Ingall is the fastest, one of only two pro teams that took the track (P1 Excluded Class A Platinum & Gold Drivers) Looks like everyone got through the session, might be the first time ever Everybody looks well within the cut off GT4 are the easily the slowest class, although the BMW is the slowest vehicle 3 MARC cars in front of the 1 st class B porsche P2 starts soon, all drivers can take part |

The ETA on the live timing is pretty cool!
Not sure why some cars are driven by Blanks though |

Wish the live timing could pop out and fill the screen, showing everything instead of having you have to scroll to the right to see the makes of the cars
