He said he owned a car, not a team. You can't just turn up for the Spa 24 with your mate from down pub and a tool-kit you know.

I've got 3 boxes of rice crackers, not sure why they are here, but will that be enough to get me a drive? I once raced a leaf in the gutter during a rainstorm on my way home from school, is that enough experience?

Who won?
 
40 minutes for the start of 1000km of Paul Ricard
#23 (Chiyo, Reip and Buncombe) - P2 in Pro and overall
#22 (Sanchez, Paletou and Shulzhitskiy) - P6 in overall and P1 in Pro-Am
 
Just got up not long ago, forgot about this race. Glad to see the #23 leading the way as I tuned in with 3.5 hours left. 👍
 
Paul Ricard is now a stupid track.
 
Apparently they are pretty lax on track limits here. And I agree, looks like a boring track, pretty flat, long straights, kind of ho-hum.
 
It's a new game called "let's make up new corners as we go".
 
Track limits on this track are totally ridiculous. This really makes me sick and tired of watching Motorsport Motorcheating these days.

To which you can add completely incompetent race control. :banghead:

John Watson said at the beginning of the race that the maximum driver stint is 65 minutes so how did Bentley double stint Smith and Merrick in 3 hr 55 min?
 
Idk how anyone can like that track, they turned a perfectly good track into a colourful parking lot.

He meant maximum 65 minutes between pitstops. I think that is only applicable to the Spa 24 though.

I read that as 65 min max for fuel,tires,and driver.
 
The Bentley boys wouldnt get very far in GT Academy with actual track limit rules.
 
Good win for the #23 team. Thankfully the Bentley spun out or it may have finished differently.
 
I wonder what was going through the heads of SRO when they thought "I know, let's take a picture of all 83 GT3 cars at once! And then put the image online in 600x400 resolution only!"

Wouldn't have been an issue if they didn't make such a big deal about the picture.

EDIT: Dug around and found it in 800xSomething on their website's gallery. The company that took the photos also has them on their website at a proper resolution, but there's a considerably large watermark that ruins the whole thing. Not that it matters since you can't download it anyways.
 
I'm watching the Blancpain GT race at Paul Ricard highlights. I first learned of Circuit Paul Ricard when I played the PS2 version of "Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli." It is incredibly unique since it's tarmac all the way around and with the off-course details. Besides this unusual aspect of the course, it is quite technical and quite challenging. I actuallyl ike Circuit Paul Ricard.

And if you ask me, those Bentley Continental GT3 cars still look out of place to me among the other GT cars, but it is surely entertaining seeing them compete along with these other GT cars.
