The Aston went off like a scalded cat and the Merc only really got close thanks to traffic and a slow pit stop. After the 1st stop the clearly faster Aston was all over the Merc and after it went by pulled away at a ridiculous rate.

It was nice to see something different at the front, but it's clear something has helped the performance greatly.

It looks like Grasser/Huracan has been pegged back in a similar fashion to the R8 the year before that?

It was nice to see a Porsche 'getting there' again and the Bentley rise up the order after the qualy dramas was something to behold!
