The failure of the Dyson 16 to make it out for warmup also doesn't bode well--gear box wiring problems. robert |

Weaver went like a rocket, but Letho took the second Dyson by the external in a curve !
Blimey, those boys are hot ! There's now a reasonable gap between the leaders... The VEttes had a very good start too. The Miracle is seriously damaged at the rear left... Mc Murry touched, but where ? The Courage is smoking... |

Liz Halliday is leading the P2 pack, in front of the GT2s : and the Saleen is just between the Vettes, good job !

We've got a pack of GT2 behind the Courage-Mazda, when the black R&S has difficulties to lead this pack.
Fixed in the pitlane, the Miracle Courage had difficulties to restart, but is back now. |

The Mazda Courage on the grass : the engine held two laps TEam's communication : "try a reset", but the rear is smoking lightly... the car is stuck in the grass, along the armco.

The Mazza and the private C5-R are together, 10 seconds behind the Saleen and the second Vette.

Weaver and Lethos are fighting hard for the lead.
Wallace and Pirro are doing the same. |

Trying to pit, Liz Halliday's car caught fire !!! The girl was very courageous, and tried to stop it when the car went down due to the downhill shape of the road there...

Dysons cars re-started too slowly, and both Audis are now leading... Weaver's good job thrown to the bin (fortunately under FCY).

Weaver went wide and out, trying to follow Letho. The track was dirty at this point, he had two wheels on the grass, then lost the car in the gravel trap, to the tyres' wall.
Too bad The car is now to be towed, but is the car still able to roll ? |

FCY
Leaders are now pitting, and Andy Wallace took the wheel... he was ready later than the mecanics, and went back significantly behind the Audis. What now ? The P2 cars are at the end of the overall, or almost... |
