Well then, one more reason to not miss Spa this year (as if there weren't enough already).

Do they not have any onboards of cars that were in the middle of all that? Still don't know how and who turned the #2 Audi.

So the contact between the #59 & #63 was always going to happen, but what possessed the backmarker to try and take the racing line when they knew that there were two cars battling right behind?

Tried to watch the race but gave up because of all of those headlights and night time. I hope there are no more night races in sprint racing

Night time racing isn't too bad. It adds a little more variation.

I don't love misano as an opening round, never showcases great racing, and the night race is ok but seems to cause big accidents

I have lucked into CBSS of late and caught the opener. Misano is uninspiring and a terrible circuit for these wonderful machines. Outside of a few moments, these races were just no fun.

That said, there's enough here to interest me in most other tracks this series goes to, and I look forward to future races.

I don't remember being terribly impressed last year either...

Both of the GT4 races were quite good though. Not sure if it's because they have less aero, or maybe it was just the mix of skill levels and car strengths that made for more action in the GT4 races.

Yep - what was that all about? The backmarker just turned in as if there was nobody else there. Really poor driving - has there been any action taken?

I really enjoyed the coverage of the night race - I was flicking through the TV channels and there was nothing at all on worth watching (typical Saturday night TV) then I saw on Twitter that there was a livestream of the Blancpain race - result! Free HD streaming and a nice cold beer - job done!

Yeah, being well set-up for night races is the one redeeming quality of the otherwise rather bland Misano circuit.

I'm glad to see that at least with Blancpain Gt series, the LMP3 movement has not hurt grid numbers at all really. About a year or two ago I was scared of them being a big threat. It seems to affect national/local series more so. Would like to see a Lexus, and/or Cadillac presence in Blancpain still. It has been the same 10 manufacturers for the past few years now. Granted most of them have brought in new cars.

No Rowe at Monza? Surprised by that, I thought they were in for the season. Doesn't this mean that BMW technically can't run Pro cars at Spa either?
