Massive stint by Hezemans. Too bad that caution is going to cost them.

The359 · 20 Sep 2009, 15:18 (Ref:2544370)

Stewards are investigating the accident between the SRT Corvette and Vitaphone Maserati a few laps ago. They better not steal this win from SRT...

The359 · 20 Sep 2009, 15:26 (Ref:2544375)

Sweet crap, this is a heck of a fight for third!

airbusA346 · 20 Sep 2009, 15:27 (Ref:2544376)

What a fight!

Tom.

Westbrook was leading, but had to pit 1 last time, but still #60 2nd and #50 6th, thanks for the GT2 lead arakis

And i believe 51 is still gonna be investigated for taking the #60 out early on.

arakis · 20 Sep 2009, 15:31 (Ref:2544380)

yup, he was virtualy leading since he hadn't pitted, no problem, I think you should check the score bord, AF is leading

Westbrook was in the car, and pitted for their second pit stop.

8 points to collard westbrook and 3 for bruni villander means #60 is leading the championship by 3 points

One thing I don't really understand, why did PK and the other massa's didn't also pit under the sc like SRT and Sangari did? Pitting under the SC costs alot less then pitting with 5 minutes to go right?

Oh, you always find the way to be happy. Good for you. But we are leading, don't forget the truth.

The minimum time every driver must drive is 35 minutes, and I think the other teams didn't drove this time. Maybe Hezemans, but their strategy was to drive a very long middle turn.

What a fantastic fight between Müller and Bernoldi!

Ah ok, that explains it, PK pitted quite alot later then the other 2 Vette's, so that should be it.

Nice racing though, massive fight for third place, shame the Sangari couldn't hang onto third

I am not sure but think it was for hitting the the Ford GT

Dario911 · 20 Sep 2009, 16:12 (Ref:2544399)

Is the car no. 51 under investigation due a collision?
I would see if Rathel&co. would disqualify Ferrari, as they often do when Porsche wins...

I believe it is for contact with #60 and one of the CRS cars.

Is the result provisional? I'm anxious about decision... Porsche has been disqualified, in the past years, for stupid infractions or contacts. I'm waiting... but now we are the leaders!

#51 AF Corse received a drive through because of Cadei´s collision with Collard early in the race. In spite of they won it.

MJ_N_09 · 20 Sep 2009, 21:45 (Ref:2544569)

Well, guess Arakis wins this round.

exaclly, I took a leaf out of your book.

As for the truth Ferrari Won

Corvette 1-2 and AF Corse win GT2, nice race. Good on SRT for the win though, this is Ruffier's first season in FIA GT and it's a bit of a jump from GT3 to GT1 so I am happy for the team.

OMG I had no idea. Thank you for telling me.

So K Plus K were basically throwing their toys out of the pram after the Hungaroring disqualification ? However justified it may be, it seems to me like cutting your own nose off to spite your face. I wonder what their drivers thought of it all. Will Sharp and Wendlinger ever have a full season without any issues like their team withdrawing from races? It must be very frsutrating for them.
