Looks like the Aston Martin needed a splash and dash.

Aston pitted twice in the last 10 minutes, what went wrong?

Looks like Pescarolo takes Race 1. OAK, JLOC, and #77 Felbermayr as well.

Race report from the AsLMS offers some insight. For one, Live Timing & Scoring completely failed. The BMW which stopped being scored at lap 47? It actually won GT2!

Also, the Aston Martin's second stop after the splash and dash was to replace a louvre. And the Saleen never made it to the garage, it ended the race in a gravel trap.

From what I've heard, that chassis was never going to work and the owners (JLOC, not the team they had hired to run it who were expecting decent machinery) knew it.

Just saw the highlights on Eurosport and I have to say it was a pretty entertaining race 1, shame about the Aston and its body work issues but hopefully AMR will get 3 entries for Le Mans next year anyway. Nice too to see BMW winning in GT2, really close fight at the end between Milner and Lieb. Looking forward to seeing race 2 now!

I didn't know wether to laugh or cry at that result, but JLOC could end up with an auto-invite! How can this happen!?

They have enough money in which new LM-GT1 car can be bought.

However, they don't buy the spare parts.

I notice in a lot of interviews with the Japanese teams (Nova, JLOC, Daishin) two things that they all have in common:

* They all think there will be a 4-race schedule for 2010.
* They all aren't happy with Super GT.

Race 2 underway, looks like the Forme 996 and the Tokai LMP1 did not take the start.

And the looks like the Saleen is having problems again.

Indeed seems to be the case... but it sounds more like a hope or wish regarding the schedule. But apparently a big chance for the ACO/LMS to expand and build on a prober series in Asia or at least something like a MEA LMS (Middle East- Asian LMS). One of the interviews here:

Hooray! Even though it's Japanese commentary, it's better than nothing!

Looks like the #77 Felbermayr lost drive.

Congrats to Drayson Racing with an amazing drive to P4! Setting fast lap in both races is an impressive stunt.

Jonny Cocker is the most under-rated sports car driver around right now. He is the man!

I think alot of it is probably due to the performance breaks/supposed parity applied.
