Go Dyson.

The pace car has divided the GT2 cars.

I'm aware of that, but it's very selfish to stay in the car, knowing that you're much slower than any other GT2 driver, rather than step aside so that 2 competitive drivers can be in the car.

I stand by what I am saying.

**joeb** · 8 Aug 2009, 21:09 (Ref:2518098)

great battle for final podium spot in gt2

Now, but in the beginning of his stint, I remember seeing a bunch of 1:29/30s.

What happened to Melo? Bad pit strategy?

NightStalk3r · 8 Aug 2009, 21:09 (Ref:2518100)

How has the 45 lost so much time considering it didnt pit, should be nearly a lap ahead.

AndrewF31 · 8 Aug 2009, 21:10 (Ref:2518101)

Twitter saying they have clutch problems.

I know that, they have had clutch problems since before there first pit stop, but pat long is still very fast, they just seemed to loose a shed load of time during that caution.

What????????????? Flying Lizard is there so he can race! Selfish my a-rse! It is by his want to race that we get the other car on the grid at all! As long as he is fast enough to not be a hazard, more power to him. Get over it!!

L.P.

Alright fine. I'll drop it. I've already angered enough people with this debate.

**joeb** · 8 Aug 2009, 21:19 (Ref:2518107)

So it looks like Pecorari has been in the who race for VDS. If one driver doesn't run the required time is the car dq'd? or just not score points?

I'm in total agreement with you on this. Seth can do what he likes. I think it's great that he funds that extra car so they can compete for the championship. He could just run one car like the Robertsons just so he has a toy to play with. Sure we give him grief on the forum and joke about his speed, but he one very good team owner who provides a very competitive car and he endulges himself a little. How many of us wouldn't do the same if we had the cash?

2 spins for the 20

AndrewF31 · 8 Aug 2009, 21:31 (Ref:2518111)

Marino's out.
With all of John's yelling, I couldn't figure out who did it?

Vettes looking better and better on the podium

dxk1 · 8 Aug 2009, 21:32 (Ref:2518112)

It's really a shame that the pace car divided up the GT2 as they were all (the top 7 anyway) on the same lap and now it's just Long and O'Connell. Also, really a shame for Dyson as they were doing so well. On the other hand, how about Graf in 2nd in P2. The rest of the year should be fun.

I get that Rob Dyson is peeved, but I don't really think that he's being completely reasonable in his expectation that the hard-racing GT2 cars are less important and should just jump out of the way of the P2 battle like scalded cats. Shame though, 20 and 6 were having a great dustup. And Graf goes fastest in P2 again...

MJ_N_09 · 8 Aug 2009, 21:34 (Ref:2518114)

The pace car has always inadvertantly done this in 2009.

MJ_N_09 · 8 Aug 2009, 21:36 (Ref:2518117)

I think Rob is more mad at the DeFerran Acura slowing in the pits in front of the 20 to let the 15 get a lap back.

Sounds more like de Ferran (MS) was to thank this time. I'll wait until TV coverage before passing final verdict.

Klaus Graf is very impressive, though.

AndrewF31 · 8 Aug 2009, 21:38 (Ref:2518119)

Apparently De Ferran waiting in the pits for Adrien to leave to gain or gain back a lap to get ahead.
Rob wasn't happy about that.

Without seeing how the crash happened it's hard to analyze the crash. I don't think the GT2s should just slow down and let them by. Always hard when everyone's racing for something. Faster cars can't expect to barge through everyone everywhere.

**joeb** · 8 Aug 2009, 21:39 (Ref:2518120)

Melo got past Henzler into 5th

I was talking about the pace car splitting the P2 and GT2 battles. Sorry, I should've been more clear.
