2016 Blancpain GT Series

Awesome battle between Siedler Buhk and Frijins

Really enjoying this despite the cars not being so visible because of the dark but still doesn't take away from it much

For sure. Daytona is the only one I can tolerate because it is so lite up. I have already turned off the Blancpain race. I'll catch the feature race which I'm sure is in proper daylight on Sunday. The GT Club race was interesting if for no other reason you see some different cars in there like a BMW Z4, Ferrari 458 GTE, and Corvette C6 GT3.

Disagree takes away from the viewing experience big time.

I can pick the cars out pretty well by their lights and if you have an idea of who's behind the wheel then it's a great spectacle.

Haha oh wow Kane totally jumped Buncombe at pit entrance

Totally disagree with the commentator there. The Nissan was going to hit the Audi whether the Audi moved or not. That was completely the Nissans fault.

Brilliant race this. Didn't expect to see a Bentley and BMW at the front.

It was a nice gift to them. In my opinion pits have to be closed during FCY, then extend the pit stop window by that time the FCY lasted.

The more the race coming to end the more they go to demolition derby mode.
But nice race.

Surprisingly the start was pretty clean. Was expecting carnage with all those cars and a wet track

great show and bad day for WRT that crashed 2 of their cars and lost the race because of FCY at the end of pit window that almost randomized the grid, letting bentley #8 and rowe #99 to be easily on lead.
Man of the race? Undecided among Zampieri, who shown that you don't need to be in the lead lap to be the man or the driver of #5 R8 who finished the race pirouetting!

After 5 seasons, mclaren still can't fix their engine and reliability issues...

That was a good race. That spinning Audi was picking up speed as it went spinning down the main straight. Not sure if it crossed the line doing so.

Lol at commentators apologising for Soucek's language. Great to see the passion though.

Vanthoor is a sore loser that's for sure
