Masser looking closer, and Saleen as well, so hoping that whoever wins GT1 has a challenge in doing so!

Are they though? I think that this weekend has actually been a step-back in terms of comparative performance between the Corvettes and the non-Corvettes.

Warmup saw both of the Audis in front with JJ Lehto posting the fastest time. The race is only a few hours away now

You are right of course, if there was hope for Saleen or Maseratti that hope would have come from them exceeding the Corvette pace. I believe though that I read that the Maserati is still not optimized for the restrictor?

The failure of the Dyson 16 to make it out for warmup also doesn't bode well--gear box wiring problems.

Weaver went like a rocket, but Letho took the second Dyson by the external in a curve !

Blimey, those boys are hot !

There's now a reasonable gap between the leaders...

The VEttes had a very good start too.

The Miracle is seriously damaged at the rear left... Mc Murry touched, but where ? The Courage is smoking...

We've got a pack of GT2 behind the Courage-Mazda, when the black R&S has difficulties to lead this pack.

Fixed in the pitlane, the Miracle Courage had difficulties to restart, but is back now.

GT2 : Gavin is flying, the Saleen still holding the second Vette.

GT2 : huge dogfight between four cars ! In the curves alltogether !

The Mazza and the private C5-R are together, 10 seconds behind the Saleen and the second Vette.

Weaver and Lethos are fighting hard for the lead.

Wallace and Pirro are doing the same.

Trying to pit, Liz Halliday's car caught fire !!! The girl was very courageous, and tried to stop it when the car went down due to the downhill shape of the road there...

Dysons cars re-started too slowly, and both Audis are now leading... Weaver's good job thrown to the bin (fortunately under FCY).

Weaver went wide and out, trying to follow Letho. The track was dirty at this point, he had two wheels on the grass, then lost the car in the gravel trap, to the tyres' wall.

Too bad

The car is now to be towed, but is the car still able to roll ?

FCY

Leaders are now pitting, and Andy Wallace took the wheel... he was ready later than the mecanics, and went back significantly behind the Audis.

What now ? The P2 cars are at the end of the overall, or almost...
