I'm curious whether Hindy is going to be jumping between the car and the comms box all day long.

I've been a fan of the 24H Series for a while, it's a cool format. Nice mix of pros and ams and a good platform for people to race. Also a cool mixture of car types. COTA will be my first 24H Series race so I'll see if I like competing in it as much as watching it.

How do we feel about combined Proto and GT races in 2018?
TCE and GT races will obviously work well, but I'm not sure how the GT3 guys will take having a Ginetta G57 bolting ahead of them

I think it will work, the GTs are only with Protos for 2 rounds, the other 6 events they are with TCE. The bigger worry for me is the Silverstone Date, early March has seen snow on a number of occasions here.

Oh I was present for the WEC snowy weekend bonanza, it's s risk you take. I wonder if the venue owners didn't want to give them any prime summer dates incase the WEC date needed to move yet again

What's the name of the show? I've got Netflix so I'd been to check this out.

Don't remember word for word but just do his name in the search. I am fuming at Netflix right now though for dropping Animaniacs!
I'm sure this GT4 Aston with the CEO, Hindy, and Hollywood will get TV time for sure.

Paul Hollywoods Big Continental Road Trip. I should've searched Netflix in the first place

We had a tough time at Spa.
Going off in Free Practice, a small electrical issue at the start and then a failed / intermittent fail on the low pressure fuel pump really put us to the test. Ended up with a DNF after 10.5 hours. I was gutted.

Amongst the gradually diminishing COTA entry, the Risi cars have vanished. Big shame

Looks like the Callaway C7s have fallen off the list too.

Those went a long time ago, only ever on the initial entry, before the Callaway ban was lifted by GM

No Risi on the entry list anymore. Huge bummer and blow to interest in this race. No Ferraris at all. I don't even think Scuderia Praha is there.
