Glad to help out, Rodger, and thanks for the nice words! I usually know a lot more than what I put in my reports, so just ask and I'll see what I know or can figure out.

Is there an entry list for the next race around? A couple of journalists mentioned Schnitzer and RBM, although I can only find mention of the former online at the moment (and no drivers mentioned).

Bruno Spengler is in an M235 BMW, so I guess he's being lined up for next year's 24h.

Schnitzer have entered an M6 GT3 for Nico Menzel and Jens Klingmann

Excellent job by Farnbacher and Lexus! First race with the new car and it wins. This is the first time a Japanese make has won a vln race overall.

Yes they did. And it wasn't just the car (or the drivers, or the team) that won them the race today. And not the BoP either.

The Lexus also ran Michelins today, and yes, also Yokohamas

What BOP were they running? I noticed they ran in SPX so guessing it truly wasn't FIA GT3 spec

Would it be the FIA bop or the same they've been running with the previous RC F's?

Also, the GT3 car was on Yokohama's.

It was in SPX because it's not homologated. It might be the car and spec they do homologate in, but if it isn't homologated then it will run in SPX. SCG003 is GT3 legal except homologation too.

Good to see another GT3 car joining the field. Let's get some in Blancpain.

I'm not sure if SP-X 004 / 2016 is the GT3 Prototype. I think it isn't, so you'll have to wait until they publish the new list.

Well, the bop table includes the KTM X-Bow GT4, which made it's debut at VLN 9, so I think it's the bop for that round. That means the RC F was running 1320kg, 120L, 1 x 54.4mm restrictor if so. Maybe they didn't change the bop at all on the car? The other non-turbo V8 GT3 is the AMG which runs 1335kg, 120L, 2 x 31.88 restrictor.

I suppose it could be that they didn't change the BoP, yes. Maybe that's why they won

That may be a reason. But the car was doing good before the latest version. I think the new aero coupled with the updated engine they were running before really helped. Hopefully they run well at the next race.

Here's more info on the RC F from Dominik Farnbacher http://www.racing.gt/2016/10/farnbac...-step-forward/. The chassis is the biggest thing that has changed. He also says the overall weight of the car has dropped by 40kg.

Thanks for that, great photos in the gallery too.

Do you think they will likely run an N24 programme next year?
