Strange incident between Coletti and Pla. Racing incident to me.

Looking good for Jota, and their title is won at last. Edit - I am wrong, Hanley is silver. He won't be for much longer I imagine. |

Hedman did 90 min but I think silvers need to do 2 hours of the race.

Well that's it then
Congrats G-Drive and Beachdeen for the championships. They both had some luck, but job well done |

Congrats to Beechdean and Jota. I'm gutted for TDS and JMW though.
I'm a fan of the Zytek/Gibson car and Tincknell, however I am not fond of Dolan and van der Garde. |

By the way, this should be the last race for JMW's 458 as well

Jota and Beechdean champions, I didn´t saw this coming after Spa. Congratulations to them. I feel bad for the JMW guys, they are a small team with limited resources.

The rain is really lashing down now.
I just hope for JMW that they don't become the TDS of GTE, particularly with the relative lack of resources compared to other teams (particularly Beachdean). I don't mean to take anything away from Jota & Beachdean - who did as much as they could and deserve massive credit for their victories - but the one wish I would have for the ELMS is that more of its titles were decided on-track. |

It is also amazing how competitive is the Gibson chassis. 2 titles in the last 2 years.

Another ELMS race, another exclusion. This time, it’s Pegasus racing, for a (per S365) “fuel analysis anomaly.” Panis-Barthez Competition also got a 45-second time penalty, which didn't impact the results.
Also, per S365 this is happening: Quote:

This though does kind of explain their hard line on LMP3 rights ownership — you can get away this sort of stuff if you’re the only game in town (er, Europe), which is what the ACO is trying to be with LMP3. |

JMW actually won 4 on the road but got a DQ at Silverstone for, I was told, a wrongly fitted new front splitter where certain parts were not on the car (Not delivered?). Not fitting these parts meant the splitter was less effective than the one it replaced I was also told. AM inherited that win and as it turned out, inherited the championship.

I have a strong dislike to the suggestion that the teams which won it did not deserve to however.

Does the ELMS ever have a drama-free last race of the season? Evidently not! Gutted for JMW but I don't begrudge Beechdean.
As for TDS, what Appalling luck. This racing lark can be very cruel sometimes. |

Given Jota were penalised for drive time regs, and TDS got away with drive time regs violations, I kinda feel it's a bit if karma tbh. Harsh but it worked out properly IMO.

When did tds have driver time issues apart from the last race? (due to fcy which would be totally unfair to penalise).
