I think MotorsTV keeps losing coverage so shows that ad! Certainly that what was happened when I posted a disparaging remark earlier in the race.

I see controversy is trying to get into the race where there is only coincidence.

Yep timing has quit for me as well

would really like to see Magnus go on to win, they do a really good job plus they have a sense of fun and whimsy. Considering what Audi has sent, that would be an awesome accomplishment for Magnus.

The Napleton Cayman has lead the x class since the beginning so hopefully I haven't just jinxed them.

#2 in the pits, seems to be not routine, TV shows the 17th place car in GT. I don't ever want to hear complaints about not giving enough airtime to GTs again.

Unfortunately, with just an hour and a half left, the Stevenson Motorsports Camaro No. 57 retired with gearbox issues. Tommy Milner lost the second gear in his stint, and Jan was reporting they possibly lost third and fourth as well in his stint. As Jan made the pass for 13th, the gearbox decided it had enough. The car went behind the wall after 21 1/2 hours.

The guys did a great job after their 25 minutes behind the wall due to early break issues. They rejoined in 24th 16 laps down and by the time they retired, they were up to 16th and only 8 laps down. The team seems to be in decent spirits, but there is obviously some disappointment. Thanks for the support during my updates. I'm sure once John rests up he'll come back and say hi.

Time to put on my other uniform and start prepping for the ALMS Winter Test.

As always, you all were great. Thanks again!

Thank you Kelly for the updates! I heard it retired but had no idea why it had, thanks for the info. Too bad they couldn't finish...

maximus · 27 Jan 2013, 19:23 (Ref:3194938)

Uh oh, green flag with Montoya in 2nd, cue the epic music!

maximus · 27 Jan 2013, 19:26 (Ref:3194940)

Marcus Winklehock, what. a. move.

Edit: And he spins!

Puncture?

**Adam43** · 27 Jan 2013, 19:26 (Ref:3194941)

They're fighting so much the others are catching...

**Adam43** · 27 Jan 2013, 19:29 (Ref:3194944)

Well the fastest car is now ahead, but
traffic
pit stops

Shame about the edit

can't believe Barbosa's getting punished for that, stupid move by Allmendinger - this couldn't be falling more into Ganassi's hands

Did Magnus just pit under green?

tux · 27 Jan 2013, 19:47 (Ref:3194952)

Penalty for Barbosa? For not letting Ganassi through easily?

Look back at last years race, would you have ever thought the Audi would be competing for the GT win based on that?

Motors have gone for a break just as JPM catches the leader. The race will be over by the time the ad is over

Dead-Eye · 27 Jan 2013, 19:49 (Ref:3194954)

Keep in mind that Ganassi is contractually obligated to win

**Adam43** · 27 Jan 2013, 19:51 (Ref:3194956)

Boo to the penalty.
Boo to adverts.

maximus · 27 Jan 2013, 19:51 (Ref:3194957)

Barbosa was pinged for jumping the re-start, to be honest it did look a bit suspect.

tux · 27 Jan 2013, 19:52 (Ref:3194959)

Beautiful that Motors missed the wining pass. Eurosport esque.

**Adam43** · 27 Jan 2013, 19:53 (Ref:3194961)

Ah, penalty was for jumping the start.

Nah, Eurosport would be showing the tennis and missing the entire 24hour race no matter what the listings said.

tux · 27 Jan 2013, 19:56 (Ref:3194962)

Actually Adam, thats very true.

The Ferrari is really really quick in a straight line, so much for the moaning about Porsche at the start of the race

JoeMaters · 27 Jan 2013, 20:01 (Ref:3194964)

Go AUDI!!!

fieldodreams79 · 27 Jan 2013, 20:04 (Ref:3194967)

Coming down to a decent finish. Too bad we will miss half of it thanks to FOX/Speed's Ad Breaks.

Well, AJ have all the right to fight for the position be it on the outisde or the inside. Barbosa did not leeave him space knowing AJ was alongside himm all the time. I would have give him a Go-Trough and not a stop and go though...

Starfish Primer · 27 Jan 2013, 20:05 (Ref:3194970)

I expected to see the ESM Ferrari in a better position.

They did so so last year if I'm not mistaken...

Any stream working good please ?
