A perfect race from the #99. đź‘Ť
 
Have to admit, once VDS disappeared I did not think we'd be looking at a BMW win this year.

Z4 GT3: 2 24 hour wins
M6 GT3: 1 24 hour win

Leene Gade calls the shots for Bentley for the first time and costs them an easy win. Amateurish errors on drive time, tons of penalties and not even a podium finish.

Are you sure about that?
 
So happy for the ROWE team and especially for Maxime Martin. Ten tries and he finally made it. Bentley screwed up big time and AMG had a nice recovery after the penalties. Difficult race for all the teams, glad no one got hurt.

Great win for a Bim'! Also great lass second pass for the Merc!

Now, I must say, I am supremely surprised there wasn't an individual thread for the race this year!

Too bad it's such a horrendous looking car. I'm not liking the looks of the Huracan at all either.
Still congratulations to them, fantastic to see Maxime win! đź‘Ť

Can't help but laugh at the #8, though. So many penalties and errors that it's rather embarassing...

Rowe livery doesn't help, but I like the M6. VDS livery would have been great I think.. but the Z4 was a hard act to follow from a looks point of view.
 
I'm becoming a bigger and bigger fan of the Blancpain series. But I'm a bit of a noob knowledge wise. Can someone explain to me the different classes? Pro-Am: that's a mix between professionals and non-professionals? And AM are only non-professionals? Is there a clear definition of what is a PRO and what is an AM? And what about the top class, does that have any specific name? So there are 3 classes in total?
Sorry for all the questions. :)

Edit: Wikipedia and the blancpain site sort of answered most questions for me, but not what defines a pro driver. I found this on: "For the Total 24 Hours of Spa, the maximum line-up is now one Platinum, two Silver and one Bronze driver." What defines those three?

I know at Le Mans, Platinum is a driver that has won there, and essentially is a top-level professional driver.

In fact, here are the official guidelines/regulations as to what exactly qualifies for each level. Starts on Page 3. Just know that in general, the higher rated drivers are a bit young (apparently after age 40-50 you start getting in to the realm where regardless of actual talent, you get downrated) and are already professionals at the highest level.
 
I dont think anyone tipped that the ROWE racing M6 would win, though I cant help but feel Bentley had that in the bag but so many mishaps caused it to fall, I still didn't understand their last pit stop,

Their second to last stop was for a left rear tire that was going down.

"I still dont understand their last pit stop" meaning, why they held the car for an extra 20 odd seconds,
