After the BMW got spun by the #71, #71 was listed as the leader.

That wasn't car #71, it was car #51 that punted Joey Hand off and the #51 car that got taken at the last corner.

Audi with the 1-2. CRAZY GT battle in the end!!

Sam48 · Mar 17 2012, 9:44 PM #365

According to Joey Hand, the Ferrari cut down its front right tire when it knocked the BMW off, letting hand re take the lead.

EDIT: Also, did anyone notice a track banner stuck to the side of the Ferrari as it came through the last corner?

It never lead, it got caught up in all the action when Hand went off the track.

Ok cause they were not making any sense. So that was the 51 that hit the bmw not the 71.

Amazing come back from BMW. At the first hour of the race they were down there 9th and 10th in the class and out of nowhere they were up there with the leaders! Take note that both the BMW spent quite a lot of time in the pit compared to the others but managed to catch the leaders and finally win the race. I'm very happy with the result!

I'm not sure my timing screen is delayed or what but the Ferrari was never listed as the leader. I thought it was all fine then the TV showed the BMW getting spun around.

Congratulations Audi, well nothing can really stop them. They were just too fast. Very dramatic race, very exciting, bring on the 61st edition!

They still had the 71 in the lead after that incident.

The 51 car hit the BMW and the 71 car spun out all by itself.

Time and scoring just screwed up. They just showed it and Beretta spun while Joey was in the grass.

That was fun.

Pretty good race, a bit boring in the begging but got alot better at the end. At least the next race at long beach will be showed on tv so I don't have to watch a live stream on my comp.

Great race, I've always found GT much more exciting than LMP, but that's just me. Congrats to the winners.

Signatech.

They were looking strong last I saw at about 4pm, they where mixing it for 2nd and I believe I saw the P1 possition light on on one ocation. Really a shame and the Muscle Milk guys had a very solid run too! I saw the car get up to 2nd place on some ocations too! Heartbraking to have trouble with just 1hr to go after such a great race!

Paulie Walnuts · Mar 17 2012, 10:16 PM #375

Hand made interesting comments about Beretta... so even he didn't know which Ferrari it was.

Great ending, Joey Hand has gone up about 100% in my estimation now! I liked his post race interview too

Laughed at the end...
GT Battle, GT Battle, GT Battle, GT Battle, GT Battle, GT Battle, meanwhile Audi have won, meanwhile GT Battle, GT Battle, GT Battle, GT Battle, GT Battle, GT Battle, GT Battle! Joey Hand Takes it!!!

edit: also a quick mention of Nick Heidfeld, whose car finished 32nd .. not great

Tired Tyres · Mar 18 2012, 7:28 AM #378

It's always the same. TV want to look at the prototypes whilst race fans want to watch the GT's because they fight.

Heidfeld did okay, he was in the top 5 or 6 early on.
