8 back to 3rd after it's puncture.

Possibly from the gravel and cack from the incidents.

[Akrapovic]

Bodywork change for the 3 Rebellion.

[gert]

#3 in, rear deck change

This is exactly why I can never understand the excitement around Rebellion. It’s obvious that they can’t compete with Toyota in a straight fight.

[Adam43]

Rebellion seem to have a hare and tortoise approach...

Because it's fun supporting the plucky underdogs with a tenth of the budget trying to go on a giant killing effort. Nobody really expects Rebellion to beat Toyota on pace - but we all enjoy Bruno Senna giving it a damn good go.

Rebellion are superb at stacking up lots of small issues across the 24 hours.

Their pace has dropped off from what it was early on.

This. Go Rebs!

[GT6]

Yep we all like the underdog, but on here Rebellion pit visit many years ago means they will always have our support

To be honest, it seems approxmiately on pace. 2 seconds slower than the Toyota in traffic. That's general hybrid awesome torque.

Toyota have quicker fueling, and don't have to start the engine when it comes off the jacks, so saves about 8-10 seconds per stop. All adds up.

[Akrapovic]

54 Fisichella already has a BW flag for track limits. They're absolutely getting a penalty before sundown lol.

Good point. Thanks you've just saved me 23 hours.

*turns telly off, briefly pauses as I look at my shelf, then throws all the old DVDs of previous races in the bin*

I've wasted all that time.

[Akrapovic]

High Class Racing taking it to the big boys. Love that.

[Adam43]

Kinda cool now Toyotas are split by that puncture. It'll be hard to see who has the advantge.

For the record. A few laps after the 3rd stop for 8 (2 for 7) the gap is 59.295s. Last lap 8 was .7s quicker.

[kobefly]

Not sure how Toyota #7 lost around 15 seconds of difference in its favor that ended up having them switch positions when they evened their pit stops number.

Did I miss something?

[Akrapovic]

11 Eurointernational continues its weekday form and is off the road at the Esses.

[GT6]

no 11 not doing very well so far, penalised and having trouble staying on track

Maybe Maris should have been in the Road To Le Mans race instead (and he's not the only one IMO)

[Akrapovic]

Some TV time for the TenTenths 24 there.

Now pushed behind the barriers so I suspect a problem.
