Cheer's Earth. Well that's going to make things interesting, looks like there is going to be a fair bit of rain overnight, which is going to continue through into the morning.
Absolutely loving those R8's at the moment, they look stunning. To be honest, I don't have a favourite team/person to win at the moment. In my opinion, finishing the race is a huge achievement on its own let alone winning the event!

I thought you were joking. Sadly you weren't. I don't care how rich I am or whatever, if I'm losing my team 30 seconds a lap there's no way I would race. I'd plant my you know what in one of those crappy back marker cars and enjoy myself that way. I wouldn't butcher the race for the other drivers who have a shot at winning it all. What garbage
Earth
The #40 Ford GT
Is this car for real, or is it some lower budget privately run car with rich businessmen as drivers with one professional driver that did that lap that will fade in the first couple of hours then break down before 6 hours or are they for real? Or at least semi-real?

Well you are partly right. The Team is a good team. They don´t want to drive just another Porsche. They built their own Lamborghini Gallardo. Sadly it was burnt down in the first VLN (Long distance cup Nordschleife) race.
So they started in the third race with that Ford GT and had in the 4 hours race ZERO problems. Well, Hermann Tilke is giving the money
But in the last years he only drove 1 or 2 stints (at the 24h Race). The rest of the drivers are all very good. The best of them is in my oppinion Dirk Adorf. (He did the Pole LAP and he himself said it was only possible because of the long time he could drive behind the Audi (Scheider was driving) on the Döttinger Höhe.
But of course you are right, it would have been better to put a driver of the class of Marc Basseng in the car instead of Tilke
The Ford seems to be climbing on the list again. Must say I´m impressed by the 3rd placed Porsche. It´s a cup car, and should be a tad slower than the GT3 cars.
That's brilliant
