That rainstorm is an awesome sight in the distance. Guess that's why they call it Mt. Panorama?

tux · 2 Feb 2020, 04:01 (Ref:3955196)

That Nissans ridiculous, how can you race against that?

Ferrari333SP · 2 Feb 2020, 04:20 (Ref:3955197)

Temp has dropped 6 degrees - top speeds increasing a good amount

HA! I wanna go see for myself...

If it all stays in the same pattern, I think we're gonna stay pretty dry for the next couple of hours. We may get a tiny bit in the next 20, but pretty clear after.

Edit - Now that i say that, shyte is popping up everywhere!

Ferrari333SP · 2 Feb 2020, 04:22 (Ref:3955199)

The highest placed Audi is in 17th - crazy

Personal best sectors happening now, too!

Soulet just did his best in the #7.

tux · 2 Feb 2020, 04:48 (Ref:3955201)

Bentley have this won imo

JHamilton · 2 Feb 2020, 04:56 (Ref:3955202)

The Mustangs are causing a bit of trouble this weekend, so all is normal.

Those are MARC IIs, apparently...

Ferrari333SP · 2 Feb 2020, 05:15 (Ref:3955205)

That Bentley is flying; think it has the race at this point

The fire issue is reported as fuel coming out of the breather / filler on the right hand side of the car and getting to the right rear brakes and woof.

Not sure if it has been posted in here as I have not searched the entire thread but you can monitor Race Control radio channels here https://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/31290

For some reason a few teams radios have appeared in recent minutes.

Be aware the radio calls seem to be have the usual 30 or so second delay to what you see on TV.

Barnicoat just did his fastest lap in the McLaren and now his fastest sector 2 behind him...

Cheers, mate! I'll give it a try for the last part of the race.

They're Trans Am Mustangs.

Your logic is getting in the way of my broad generalization about Mustangs and their drivers.

And thanks for the link!!

Ferrari333SP · 2 Feb 2020, 05:33 (Ref:3955212)

Barnicoat with the fastest overall lap, a 2:03.9

fieldodreams79 · 2 Feb 2020, 05:35 (Ref:3955213)

Barnicoat now has the fastest lap of the race on lap 280! Dane Cameron set the previous best time back on lap 30 or something...

Cool temps and cloud cover!!

Ferrari333SP · 2 Feb 2020, 05:40 (Ref:3955214)

2:03.7 by Barnicoat

Ferrari333SP · 2 Feb 2020, 05:42 (Ref:3955215)

Wow, that flat tire could have ended the Bentley's race; thankfully it got back in time

Good place for it to happen and a quick stop by the crew!!!

tux · 2 Feb 2020, 05:48 (Ref:3955217)

Race over now, too easy for Bentley

fieldodreams79 · 2 Feb 2020, 05:54 (Ref:3955218)

The rain has been mostly south. Now two storms have come together northwest of the circuit that are moving southeast.

I predict that it'll rain hard in about 20 mins or less. There's still work to do!!

Ferrari333SP · 2 Feb 2020, 05:58 (Ref:3955219)

So it might actually rain soon on the circuit?

Ferrari333SP · 2 Feb 2020, 05:59 (Ref:3955220)

Also, can we give props to Liqui Moli for sponsoring this race and providing free international coverage every year? Talk about stellar; it loads quickly and is pretty decent quality, year after year, for free. So awesome
