#79 is almost a full lap ahead of the #23 now.

Griffx5 · 1 Aug 2010, 08:14 (Ref:2736995)

BMW is contuing to look very good...still long way to go.

Spyderman · 1 Aug 2010, 08:15 (Ref:2736998)

..not surprising. There is no competition what so ever.

Well, the fiercest competition managed to get themselves out of contention..

24h races are about keeping your car on track...no surprise to see two cars that had virtually no problems running on top now.

Spyderman · 1 Aug 2010, 08:26 (Ref:2737005)

Well... its a little more than that. The BMW's are , on average, 2 to 3 seconds faster than the competition on almost every lap.

The remaining competition, yes... the #2 Ferrari with its two pro drivers was as quick if not quicker.

Acid09 · 1 Aug 2010, 08:32 (Ref:2737008)

#78 was briefly in the garage, couldn't really see what was the problem.

Brake pad change maybe?

Well, it´s racing. When it was raining, BMW was struggling, lapping six or seven seconds slower per lap than Ferrari, Porsche and Audi.

They are having problems with starter, I think.

Spyderman · 1 Aug 2010, 08:40 (Ref:2737013)

Well you may call it racing, some would call it a regulation advantage.
Being slower when it was raining had nothing to do with the car, but rather to do with the tires.

We have not had anything at all here in Australia, and they had this to say in response to my sons inquiry -
" it could be down to exclusivity arrangement with local broadcasters."
Fox, who is our local broadcaster, never had any intention of showing any of the race, and I doubt we will even see a highlights package.

Acid09 · 1 Aug 2010, 08:59 (Ref:2737027)

Lots of attrittion in GT3 now, #68 has taken over the lead after #73's continuing struggle with electronics and #99 having starter motor issues.

airbusA346 · 1 Aug 2010, 09:40 (Ref:2737060)

Is #13 still on track or is it retired?

Tom.

Retired since the early morning hours, it's parked at the Eau Rouge pit exit.

It's parked without the left-rear wheel, no idea if that was the reason for retirement or something more severe happend.

The words 'free' and 'VPN' in the same sentence trigger alarm bells in my head.

It shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that they're probably hoarding any/all data relating to your session, and are more than likely willing to on sell said data.

Might have to seek out a provider somewhere in Europe if this tripe isn't sorted in future years.

Not for long. The Audi behind is massively quicker.

Looks like the #68 has power steering issues now.
