A green Ferrari 458 being driven very badly; are we sure that Tracey Krohn isn't involved with GT Corse?

Nearly 3 hours and not a single FCY, clearly this isn't a IMSA run series. Great work by the track workers and marshals to keep everything flowing!

What a great hidden gem this series is, reaffirming it as possibly my favourite of all.
Great race, everything a standard sportscar enduro should be, with deserved winners and an unspoiled race. Roll on Silverstone. |

Really enjoyed the race, lots of intrigue at the front and some close battles further back.
The 333 needs looking at, I counted seven trips to the gravel within half an hour. |

Not the car, it's the russian driver that sent it into the gravel every 5 minutes.

Well yes, but it did visit the gravel again a couple of minutes after he had gotten out.

Might have been due to Kogay really messing up the car during his stint.
I feel kinda bad for Marco Seefried... must suck to drive the car to the front and then see it all undone... |

It was a lovely drive from Seefried, Kogay had undone all that work before I'd looked up how to spell his name.

I didn't really follow the series last year because of the geoblocking, but I seem to remember Kogay running before and him not being such a mess. I feel kinda bad for the whole team, including Kogay because he made himself look pretty bad.
I was amused how John Watson called Marco Seefried "Manfred Siegfried" a couple of times, a nearly every other time as just "Siegfried." They really need to find someone else for that job. Race was decent I thought. Wasn't sure I'd like the Bentleys but I have to say they look pretty good and they ran pretty well. Disappointed the Reiter Camaro didn't run, hopefully it will turn up for some of the other races. |

I'm starting to like this series. Honest endurance racing with nice and easily accessible coverage. There are many racing series out there that could learn a lesson or two from BES.

"It's a joke" - says it all!
Better keep Watson, he calls it like it is, Ben Edwards can make the necessary technical corrections, works fine for me. |

I do enjoy hearing some of his memories/track differences/tales from his day, and he does have his moments where he is quite funny. I remember the Zolder GT1 race a few years ago had a few classics. As Ren Wei spins his Porsche - "Looks like Ren Wei got it WONG way!" |

I can't believe WRT will use only 2 cars at spa. Should be the first race for treluyer inside an R8 lms, am I right ?

And sorry for the confusion: I forgot the two other WRT cars because they are not finalized yet. |
