I respectfully disagree. If you go off there, it's all over anyway.

Exactly - so why the need for the extra impact? It might slow the car a little in some circumstances, but I see no other purpose for them. It certainly didn't help either car in that incident.

There have been so many big accidents there over the years that any attempt to slow down the cars before they hit a solid wall is seen as beneficial.

Which is a lot of good!

I’m for them, can be nasty there and it is such a great corner I don’t want anything else done it!

Yes. Plenty of time. See what it’s like when the sun goes down.

Although earlier there was an interview (I can’t remember who with) that suggested that the prototypes aren’t as effected by the change in conditions as much as the GT cars.

Cars look great in the low sun at T3. Lots of close calls at this corner with GT cars seemingly carrying more speed through the corner and nearly hitting prototypes on multiple occasions

Rob Ferriol has shunted the #99 Porsche (which was running last of the GTs) at T5. FCY after two-and-a-half hours of green flag running.

Got loose on exit, over-corrected and smacked the tyre barrier.

Meanwhile the #18 has been retired having gone behind the wall around an hour ago - nothing to do with Mr Merriman!
