The Balfe car was also upgraded midseason, which changes some things. They had an 04 style roof scoop for the first half of the season, I believe. Another important difference between the Balfe and Zakspeed cars was the boots: Dunlop didn't have the chops to compete with Michelin in FIAGT last year. Driver pairing as well, of course...

The balfe picture is from round 1 at Silverstone, and thats a new roof scoop.
Regarding the mirrors, i know Nash used them, it was just a pointer :P
I wouldn;t have said the Balfe pairing was shoddy or slow, not even compared to Zakspeeds- remember, Bert tended to look slow compared to Janis himself. And yes, Dunlop have been behind for some years now.

My point wasn't made to have a go - but rather to point out that Dunlop have made big steps forward this season.

i wasn't accusing, its ok.
They might have, but they've not got a big team.
perhaps BMS should have a word, coz their pirellis are CRAP.

Pirelli's wet tyre is ok, but it isn't good enough to make up for their crap dry tyre.
It's time BMS kicked them to touch and got a new sponsor, they're embarassing themselves.

Well, judging by FP1 times it looks like a Maserati weekend.

Althought FP2 doesnt seem it so far, I guess we'll see how Quali turns out.

Looks far more mixed now.

Kumpen pole, Mucke 2nd, Wendlinger 3rd...first Maserati is 4th (Bertolini), with Lechner a credible 5th.

Yeah, I seem to have got it all wrong

Quality lap by Kumpen, very quick indeed, hopefully they're not so quick in the race tomorrow so we get a race for first place!

Lechner did good, the team in general are getting consistently quick now it seems.

Hmmm this would make Wendlinger's aston favourite for spa, with no ballast.
why have PK pushed the round before spa?
Belgian team, Belgian race, full ballast?
Seems a bit odd to me
however, Corvette couldn't match Aston and Masser last year.

Congrats to Lambo, but even more to Peka and to Mr Michael Bartels.
Phwoar.

I thought there was no ballast at 24h races.

Unfortunately I missed M&M coverage because of you know what on ITV so I don't know the results, however i'm not fussed if someone tells me.....

I'm more interested in when I can watch it during the week on Sky or something. Any one know when it's on?
