Badlands99 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I thought it was a really brilliant race - one of the best endurance races for many a year.
Well done to The Bentley Boys - really deserved the win after the setbacks during qualifying - just a shame that the No 8 didn't make it home.

Thought that the race had a bit of everything. Some great, close racing between some of the best drivers in GT racing, incidents, good green flag racing and drama for almost the whole 12 hours. Also good to see so many different manufacturers competitive and if anybody says 'it's only down to BOP' then I would say that if this is BOP racing THEN 'BRING IT ON'.
Also, well done to the organisers in changing the stint time allowed for each driver- meant that there was also a little more strategy involved.

Some scary incidents, not helped by some very shoddy marshalling - the driver of the Marc car that hit the Merc in qualifying after its shunt with the Lambo said that he had absolutely no warning - no yellow flags and no in car warning! The marshals at the incident just did not react to the initial incident and what was a big accident in the first place became a much more serious incident. There were also a couple of issues during the race that left a little bit to be desired.

Other than that, really enjoyed the whole event. Well done also to the team covering the event. Excellent camera work and brilliant informative commentary from Hindy and the team and some really good interviews. If only we could have them added to the European races too!
