Yep same here. Some talent flying under the radar. Particularly with Hirakawa I don't think people have clocked he's a Toyota development driver.

Sean Rayhall has been doing well in sports cars for a few years now--IMSA Lites and PC, and this year he did okay in limited time in the DWing.
Ryo Hirakawa is new to me ... I ma eager to see him in action. |

2016 ELMS Round 1 - 4 Hours of Silverstone Race Thread
I'll be cheering on Bert Longin. Was a fan of him and Ant Kumpen from FIA GT days so nice to see him back in international sports cars.
Not to forget Mike. Hope it all goes well for you and the Proton guys |

It's raining. Aren't they almost 20 seconds off the pace?

Webber down to 1:50 Dumas 1:49.5 Very curious to see what Audi and Toyota can do. In my excitement for the season I posted in the wrong section. Sorry guys! Last edited by porman; 15 Apr 2016 at 11:42. |

Rain due to stop an hour before the ELMS race, but air temp is so cold the track will surely be damp at the start.

I'm in Silverstone, and I can tell you that it's lovely and warm. I am, however, sat in my front room waiting for it to stop snowing before I head up for the day .......

I expect the ELMS qualifying to be cancelled as the WEC P3 and Porsche Carrera Cup sessions were cancelled.

I'm also waiting at home before going up there for the race. April @ Silverstone rarely fails to deliver on bad weather !
Is ELMS at the old pits or the Wing ? And where are they starting the race ? |

Old Pits for ELMS. Previous years they have lined up on the Grid at the Old Pits, but race has started after 1.5 laps at New Pits !! I imagine it will be the same again. No longer snowing, so will head up soon, hope everyone has an enjoyable day.

Race is 14:30 GMT (or Local, whatever zone Northhamptonshire is in.)
Watched the P2s qualify in the rain (online) and they are really beautiful cars ... even going sideways. |

The start took an age to go green, by the time it did we'd already had three accidents.

That start's going to need some unpicking...

Nice racing. LMP3 adds very nicely to the action.
