It's probably just attention bias because they've tangled up with prominent front runners, but it seems like the Clios have caused more than fair share of accidents so far.

The Clio that took out the 10 was the bumperless Clio that also took out a SP7 Porsche within the first hour...

So is the live timing totally crapped, or is it just my browsers? Damn hard to follow an endurance race without timing, especially with over 100 cars.

I've heard that spare tyres (wets - why waste the slicks) are stashed around the circuit's access points for this very situation. Still, that's ingenuity to be commended.

That was a wet weather tire, indeed.

As far as I could tell from the heli shop, the driver changed it himself?

They took nitrogen cylinders, so they could use the air jacks. And the wheel gun would run off the other nitrogen cylinder.

Or they just used a breaker bar and did it up to FT.

See to the left of the car...
