And Vincent Abril is setting an incredible pace in the Natural History Museum compared to everyone else.

Yeah, just spots. There is cloud rolling through but nothing too threatening. It's been replaced by the smell of a nice BBQ, which is making me hungry.

I'm starting to feel sorry for the National Class Lambo 67. It's like watching the BTCC with the amount of nudges he's getting whilst passed

Strong cars are starting to pit under green, so there's about to be a yellow to screw someone over.

Puncture for #14 Lexus.

The amount of dust thrown around is crazy. It's almost like racing in the desert.

TF110 · 28 Jul 2018, 18:26 (Ref:3839491)

Is there any stream that's NOT geoblocked? And did I mention Pirelli sucks? These cars should be running 3-4 seconds faster. They look like they're tip-toeing around some of these turns.

Yesterday when it was 36 degrees, it felt like it too.

Nice that it is to have more manufacturers, and it looks quite nice, surely Lexus could have made their car sound nicer than an old 1970s tractor with a mis fire

They had to change the mufflers when they were developing it in the VLN because it was too loud.

airbusA346 · 28 Jul 2018, 18:36 (Ref:3839495)

#17 Audi lost a wheel.

With the Lamborghinis around, they didn't need to worry

airbusA346 · 28 Jul 2018, 18:38 (Ref:3839498)

FCY

I sense a FCY and a SC coming up

Mountain Man · 28 Jul 2018, 18:38 (Ref:3839500)

Time to play the FCY game again

J Jay · 28 Jul 2018, 18:39 (Ref:3839501)

Time to get ready for the latest round of roulette!

Articus · 28 Jul 2018, 18:39 (Ref:3839502)

FCY right on cue....
The best strategy would be to do the full 65 minute stint length. If you come in any earlier, you really are shooting yourself in the foot if a FCY comes every 63 minutes....

Akrapovic · 28 Jul 2018, 18:39 (Ref:3839503)

Land haven't pitted yet. If they aren't over the stint length then they could get a break here.

Edit: Maybe Land have...not sure. 7 Bentley might be in luck here.

Close enough

TF110 · 28 Jul 2018, 18:42 (Ref:3839505)

So no feed except geoblocked ones that I can find. Fans in the US don't matter it seems.

bentley speed 8 · 28 Jul 2018, 18:42 (Ref:3839506)

#98 in the lead?

Which is how Bentley 8 ended up ahead, it risked it's earlier stop later in the FCY not straight away

They do matter - but as always, Motortrend on Demand has bought the rights.

Articus · 28 Jul 2018, 18:43 (Ref:3839509)

Is it possible that the Audi cannot drive forward if both wheels are not attached? Related to the way the differential works?

I don't know enough (or anything) about differentials, but I once did see a car destroy the diff by only having one wheel on. But it seemed a bit quick for that.
