I like the Bentley because it owns its size. It's massive and it knows it.
The BMW M8 is funny because BMW desperately tries to hide how huge it is. It has the proportions of a much smaller car and it's like they accidentally scaled the model up by 1.5x in AutoCAD. Then you see this normally proportioned car beside a Ford GT and you realise something is wrong. |

FCY, someone got off at the top of the Raidillon. Car 89?
Land Audi stopped just before the FCY, that will cost them. |

Odd (and concerning) that the camera that would show us which car it is, is very deliberately pointing in another direction.
This FCY hurts Land who had just pitted. |

#62s FCY Speed Limiter is a tad slow compared to every other car.
M-Sport pitted the #8 a lap after everyone else. If this goes green during the pit stop then that's another M-Sport Spa mess up. Don't understand why they left it a lap. |

It was one of the red Merecedes. May indeed be 89.

Yeah was the 89. Had left front damage.
Not sure why we have a SC pottering around under FCY. Or why we need a SC for this situation? If there's barrier damage then just divert the cars out of the pit lane exit to avoid the area. |

Safety car now out. Hopefully it's just procedure or barrier repair and nothing more serious.

Safety car. I fail to see why that is needed, other than to create more confusion and carnage?

a bit a of a reset with the Safety car. Helps Land. It could also help that WRT Audi if they timed it right.

Now pitting the SC. So that achieved nothing. The grid is super strung out due to it being FCY before. This is weird and a bit amateur. |

Safety car in this lap. So that's just a single lap.
Again, Blancpain, why? |

Keeps them pretty much on strategy. It's been very good for the number 7 Bentley, it's been on the leaders pace and this has shrunk the time gap

Noticed that they call the NSX an "Acura Honda NSX" on the classification

Can someone tell John Watson 117 and 911 are not "sister cars"?
Somehow that seems to be one of his favorite phrases. |
