And it's the pros that are causing the problem.

Ford doing a reset. Interesting to hear it does take a considerable amount of time to reboot the GTE cars now. Not just an off and on again.

I wish Martin Haven would stop calling all overtakes down the inside "dive bombs" that's not what a dive bomb move is! He is a better commentator than Toby Moody though.

I think the #8 started on a used set and is double stinting them as well.

I'm glad BTCC is at Thruxton tomorrow. There just isn't enough panel beating in this race.

Mighty impressed by Conway, he's flying with a 1:58.7 on a double stinted set.

Conway's been great. Kobayashi was also on a provisional pole lap in qualifying (by a few tenths) as well. The #7 is clearly in its sweet spot this weekend.

#9 with what appears to be overheating front brakes. Adjusted during the stop.

To be fair to him, I think quite a few of the overtakes, on the inside, were dive bombs. Sometimes watching this race felt like when I did while watching GP2, in the past, ie, quite a few crazy dive bombs.

But, overall, this has been quite a good race. I still hope for far more ToyotaxPorsche, though

I'm finding it hard to follow what's happening in P2. G-drive seemed to have dropped back quite a bit, but are now back in the lead, and generally there's been quite a lot of changing of pace. Is this mainly a consequence of the restricted tyre allocations, and consequent drop offs in performance ?

Different strategies, but I can't help but feel I'd have held the #8 up for a lap or two longer. I don't think it lost any time at all, but then neither did the #2.
