Phew. Aston in to the gravel and back out!

[tomcug]

Very good, no need for another yellow

[Adam43]

Skeer off, then holds up Van der Zande for a few corners. Gives Nasr a couple of seconds.
Skeer still third in GTD.

[Adam43]

Skeer being a bit of a pain with the BMW this time!

[tomcug]

Mistake for Aitken, victory is no more

[Adam43]

BMW closed the door on Taylor?

Didn't pay attention to that
So Porsche winning almost everything this weekend. Hypercar, GT3LM, GTP and GTD PRO. Unexpected but impressive.

Was this a repeat from yesterday? I swear I heard that somewhere before....

[Adam43]

Perhaps it was the same in Spa. When the replay is up I’ll check it out. It was around two laps to go.

Two jacket Roger, that’s what they call him.

First Win for Rexy (GTD PRO)!

[Adam43]

Brilliant stuff, good to see.

Posts deleted because I can’t be bothered to deal with them and the aftermath.

There has been some patronizing trolling - not uncommon for some forums - going on and it’s boring.

And that's how it happened:

Cool looks like at Detroit we will get the #12 Lexus and #34 Ferrari cars on the grid in disguise as #15 and #35. I bet the Conquest Ferrari will look much better with the red decals.

[NaBUru38]

Albert Costa will be joined by Daniel Serra in the #35 Ferrari. Nice!

Laguna Seca pace from the race. Fastest, Top 20, Top 40 and Top 80 laps. Could do top 80 due to the lack of yellows.

In the end the fastest car won but the 31 surely had enough pace to secure the victory if not for that mistake.

Porsche led fp1 at the detroit rectangle

This circuit looks seriously tough in the GTP cars. The RLM guys were saying the GTD cars are faster though the corners because of the lack of downforce on the GTP cars.

They were just about threading their way through the circuit. I'm honestly impressed there wasn't more incidents.

[tomcug]

Derani clipped the wall with the back of his car and caused a red flag, that means fastest laps are deleted for him and he's in P10 (ouch).

Those are final probably:

Qualifying feed was not great sound about a second behind, I think trying to link between the teams in Europe and the US might be an issue, it has been like this a few times now, its great we get to see it, but the sound being way off compared to the track action is very annoying! Just seems there is a delay.
