Agree. No weaving around nor contact. And it wasn't just a for a couple of laps either. No wonder he's still in the #23 after all this time.
I missed Team Impul taking 5th. That was also a good race, after starting from the bottom of the field.
In GT300, the FIA GT3 cars weren't as dominant as they were in the 500km race, with both the Subaru and Prius being in a podium contending position, and even the Evora (with Katoh at the wheel) and two of the MC 86s running in point scoring positions at times.
