After a clean first 1:20, I think we'll be settling into the "new norm" here....

RedSquirrel · 2 Feb 2019, 21:00 (Ref:3881451)

That's a bit of a shunt alright.

#108 Bentley stopped at pit exit.

Akrapovic · 2 Feb 2019, 21:01 (Ref:3881453)

Classic M-Sport.

Hindy Bingo: CTRL ALT DEL

Problem w/ the 108 at pit exit!!

edit - going again, but lost many spots it seems...

RedSquirrel · 2 Feb 2019, 21:07 (Ref:3881455)

While we're waiting for this to be sorted out, who's looking forward to LMP2s at The Bend next year? There look to be some corners there that would be amazing in a high downforce car.

Me! It's something different and looks fun!

Yep, and it'll give our southern cousins the opportunity to see just how magical prototypes are.

RedSquirrel · 2 Feb 2019, 21:18 (Ref:3881458)

Was that blocking or punting?

Punting, no doubt about it. Sorry Hindy but he ran up the rear of the BMW to get him out of the way. Didn't need to and could have avoided the contact but pushed it

Bit of both. BMW wanted to move over. Merc was already there. The 'block' by the Merc into the right hander before hand was a bit harsh. Didn't need to do that at all. But nothing too bad.

Brilliant fun!

Akrapovic · 2 Feb 2019, 21:22 (Ref:3881461)

Here come the Bentleys.

Time for the M-Sport sweepstakes. How will they lose this race? I'm going with an accident for one car, and a penalty for the other.

Teemu Suninen will hit a patch of ice and fire off into the trees. Elfyn Evans will have a monstrous high speed spin.

Wait...wrong weekend.

Also, Mathias Beche - yes that one - is here in the 71 KTM.

Lads, if ye were paying attention you would have seen the Stolz Merc going slow out of the Chase on his in-lap. The problem was obvious.

Akrapovic · 2 Feb 2019, 21:37 (Ref:3881463)

Both Bentleys have gone by the 999, which is basically the lead after the next pit stops. 77 is behind them all now.

RedSquirrel · 2 Feb 2019, 21:46 (Ref:3881464)

Whincup with a Vodafone hat. What year is it?

I think that's called "hard racing" where I'm from...

Too much time left for hard racing, but passing is a premium and there was no harm done.

airbusA346 · 2 Feb 2019, 22:06 (Ref:3881468)

#27 Ferrari going slow.

2:03.57 from the 107, so we can have fast laps in the heat of the day!!

Leader in AM class pitting....

RedSquirrel · 2 Feb 2019, 22:16 (Ref:3881470)

Interesting that the GT-R now has the steering wheel from the GT500 car. I think that makes the Porsche the only GT3 car with a circular steering wheel.

2019 GT3R has the GTE steering wheel.
But in Bathurst is still the 2018 Porsche Running

I think the guys in the booth needed a potty break so in car with the GT-R!!!

More potty breaks, please

Akrapovic · 2 Feb 2019, 22:22 (Ref:3881473)

Right. You have a touch screen. We get it. Now can I see some cars? This guy Chaz is more interested in this jumped up Excel spreadsheet.

Ah, I hadn't seen interior shots of the new car yet. It's not quite the RSR wheel though:
