LMP3 has turned into BTCC.

gert · 23 Oct 2016, 15:02 (Ref:3682202)

41 = out

Akrapovic · 23 Oct 2016, 15:03 (Ref:3682203)

Battle for the lead will be Pla versus Ticknell. That'll be fun.

J Jay · 23 Oct 2016, 15:04 (Ref:3682204)

Expecting fireworks from the leading drivers in the LMP2 cars now. Tincknell leads from the pits.

SMP racing pit crew looked pretty happy. Wonder why?

They jumped NoKrohn in the pit stops I think.

Graff 10 doing a Ken Block through the gravel.

Vervisch in the #33? Yet another Audi factory driver doing the rounds in LMP2.

bentley speed 8 · 23 Oct 2016, 15:18 (Ref:3682209)

#66 is done it seems

gert · 23 Oct 2016, 15:21 (Ref:3682210)

Gearbox is done, car is out

J Jay · 23 Oct 2016, 15:24 (Ref:3682212)

That's GTE done then, congrats Beachdean.

And it's looking good for Jota to take the LMP2 title, but even just carrying on might be a challenge in this race.

Edit - Pla right on the back of Coletti's gearbox.

bentley speed 8 · 23 Oct 2016, 15:26 (Ref:3682213)

If G-Drive manage to win the championship, that's yet another title for the prehistoric open top Gibson!

J Jay · 23 Oct 2016, 15:29 (Ref:3682214)

#55 AF Corse with a front left puncture, shambling to the pits from the back of the track.

Edit - Panis-Barthez LMP3 is slow and into the pits immediately.

gert · 23 Oct 2016, 15:43 (Ref:3682217)

Not shown, but Pla is now ahead of Coletti

J Jay · 23 Oct 2016, 15:52 (Ref:3682219)

Tincknell pits for his last stop.

38 minutes of clean running left for the #38.

Now swapped back in the pit stops. Pla will be faster though.

gert · 23 Oct 2016, 15:58 (Ref:3682223)

Coletti back in front of Pla after their last pitstops. SMP did not take tires, did Krohn?

I think you're right. No tyres for SMP, tyres for NoKrohn.

8 Race Performance spins for the 4th or 5th time.

2nd to 4th in LMP2 are pretty close

Dragonspeed have recovered really well from that awful stint from Hedman. Did the SC period help out with that as well?

J Jay · 23 Oct 2016, 16:04 (Ref:3682227)

It might have done, but at Spa both Hanley and Lapierre raced back to the front in short order.

Lapierre passes Pla.

gert · 23 Oct 2016, 16:04 (Ref:3682228)

Not much of a defense from Pla vs Lapierre

J Jay · 23 Oct 2016, 16:06 (Ref:3682229)

Not much from Coletti either. Lapierre bamboozled him into the esses. Tincknell is too far away but it should be a comfortable 2nd for Dragonspeed.

bentley speed 8 · 23 Oct 2016, 16:11 (Ref:3682230)

Rain at turn 2 and 3

J Jay · 23 Oct 2016, 16:27 (Ref:3682233)

#20 Duquiene LMP3 beaches itself outside T2. Might be a quick SC/FCY here.

Akrapovic · 23 Oct 2016, 16:28 (Ref:3682234)

Is Hanley a silver? If he isn't, then DragonSpeed will have drive time issues.

Pla throws away the podium challenge hitting Colletti
