At least unlike the Nissan adverts of old, these are moderately interesting.

That's not ideal for HTP.

Keep in mind, this race also featured a fire extinguisher on fire.

So I'd say we were owed the HTP mechanic shenanigans.

We did have the two left feet marshalls at the F1 race in Canada a few years back

No. His first was 2002 Spa 24h, AFAIK.

I just looked it up. He did indeed. Came fifth overall, third in class with Marc Lieb, Bert Longin and some Forgeois fella.
Well remembered.

Rain sounds like it's eminent now and also sounds like we may have some hail mixed with it. The radar is looking very green with some yellow and red...

This is really properly poor by RLM. The track is a lake and we're talking to the man in charge of BoP for ten minutes and they haven't once mentioned the madness on the screens in front of them.

Emergency vehicle on track @ Hatzenbach after David Thenelius stopped on track with #39 Aston Martin GT8.

Second yellow-zone after the rain started. Stay on wets could be an option.

I know it's "slick", but the amount of grip from these cars at night in these conditions never ceases to amaze me.

Not only is it beginning to get light, I can see a little break in the clouds for some color from the Sun!

Edit and now they show the chopper shot with clouds "touching the ground"......

Honestly, it was done bar some miraculous (2017-esque) change in circumstances. The #1 wasn't making up enough time, if any, on the lead pair.

Lesson to be learnt: Don't let Rene Rast drive in your car next race!

From the onboard, the car was moving about oddly just before the accident. He almost certainly had the rear puncture before the incident.

My outside hope is now the Aston Martin. It won't happen, but I can dream!
