Don't forget the second Aston was compromised at Silverstone by having Paul Dalla Lana on board- In a GTE Pro class stacked full of top-class GT drivers and ex-F1 guys, you're always going to be at a disadvantage having a middle-aged gentleman amateur in the car for part of the race...

With a third 'Pro' car available at Spa, Aston can revert to what they originally announced pre-season - and car troubles aside, the Turner/Mucke/Dumbreck and Fred Mako/Senna/Rob Bell combinations are both potential GTE winners

Well you might as well count on only two of those Astons to be competitive anyway, Dalla Lana being onboard really is a weak link that cant be afforded in GT PRO. Great to see young Kiwi Ritchie Stanaway getting a drive.

That's the point! Aston are advantaged because the third car is a GTE-Pro with top drivers, and rule make Vantage faster than rivals. That's a shame!

Found a small error on the Spotter Guide.

#26 G-Drive has 25 as its number panel instead of 26.

It seems that they're making a change for Spa in that Silverstone had an extra day of practice/testing, but no morning warm up, while Spa has no activity on Thurs but has a warmup on Saturday before the race.

This something that the WEC has in mind for the rest of the year--no actual warmup pre-race for the Fri-Sat-Sun races, but a warmup on compacted weekends where there's not an extra day of practice available?

Following up my own question....

MWM tweets that RadioLeMans will be available at the circuit on 106.5 FM.

Might not be audible at Bruxelles/Rivage though...

I know I can watch it on the WEC website, but it is a bit annoying that it isn't all on the TV.
