I'll get this moan out of the way early. The FCY -> SC setup is crap and is already ruining the race. We should've been racing by now, but instead we have to be yellow for another 5 minutes.

15 mins in and I'm already irritated by the commentators repeating SRO's pathetically weak justification for the FCY->SC procedure. I'd rather they were just honest and say "we're doing it to artificially compress the field so that we can boast about how close the race is right up to the final hour".

@ John Watson:
* the Audi losing places was Winkelhock, not Mies * Drudi and Mies are NOT "sister Audi's": One is Attempto, one is WRT. (he will probably get that wrong 47 more times) |

Stop and go for 33 for "exceeding maximum refueling connection time".
What does that mean in English? |

I'm sorry for being grouchy. I'm sad not to be there - as a spectator and amateur snapper this is one of the greatest spectacles in motor racing. I miss being there terribly.
As a pure motor race however it is disfigured and debased by SRO's ludicrous micro-management and as a TV viewing experience it is poorly served by John Watson's ranting and inability to keep up with events. I'll just be quiet and try to enjoy it now :-) |

For ‘short’ refuelling stops during [Endurance], a maximum refuelling time will be issued for each Competition in a Bulletin from the Stewards. This will be the maximum time that the fuel nozzle may be connected to the car during any such pit stops. For a short stop, the max is 8.5 seconds |

I would probably have been there too (as I would have been for the ELMS race) I equally hate SRO's micro management with the stupid Safety Car rules and the pitstop rules that take away all smart management or strategies on the team's side I try to enjoy what is left, but agree it could be much better. |

#25 Sainteloc Audi in for unscheduled stop
Tire damage, splitter damage etc ... -- One thing is for sure: a McLaren won't win this year. The best of the McLarens is already 9 laps down |
