Race day has moved to Saturday/Sunday - flag at 11:00 UK time
Practice/Qualifying on Friday

With just 55 cars, entry is well down on previous years - especially in the lower classes but quality is still high especially in GT3
(although I'd much rather the wildcard SPX/TCX over 20 porsche cup cars)

I think its safe to say that gone are the days of novelties and wildcards, we are very much in the era of GT3/GT4/Cup/TCR for these kinds of racing.

It just makes so much more financial sense to the smaller guys to run these larger manufacturer packages.



While the numbers are down this year, the quality is certainly high, and 55 is more than enough for a good race. GT3's will find themselves an easier first half of the race this year with slightly less traffic to contend with. It will start to feel a little less full perhaps by sunrise when attrition has taken a good chunk of cars out. Hopefully it doesnt end up with 25-30 cars running around at the end... Attrition is always high at this race, but the lower grid count might help that a touch
