Awesome to see 2nd/3rd/4th right there with 25mins to go. Max Martin just obliterated the fastest lap.

He can easily get second, but not first unless 9 has problems.

No matter the result, I haven't been this impressed by a single driver's drive in endurance racing for a long, long time.

I still don't quite understand where the #25 lost that much time after being comfortably in the lead this morning... were Martin's co-drivers that slow? I don't think they got into an accident or had any big repairs, had they?

For the most part, this is still an amateur race - the flags are just a way of celebrating getting through 24 (well 15) hours on the world's toughest track.

Flags hanging from cars, donuts: I love the non-conformity and club sportsman aspect at the core of the race.

If this was an FIA or ACO race we would be talking about reprimands and penalties for this from the No-Fun Road Safety PC brigade.

Exactly if you want to see staged celebrations like Vettel's fake pre-determined script after his wins and reprimands or warnings for showing emotions and picking up flags or celebrating there's always the FIA or ACO run series for you.

What are the chances that next year Schubert won't be a factory supported team?

The #25 only had a lead of around 30 seconds after Martin's opening stint so I don't think they were ever in a comfortable lead. The conditions probably didn't help them in warming the tyres which is a Z4 complaint and at that same point the Merc's really came on strong.

Was just a big and more consistent drive from Schneider/Edwards. Don't forget they lost around 2mins when Bernd acquaplaned off at the first corner early this morning.

Classic race enjoyed it despite the red flag. So glad it's a Holiday here.


It can be argued if Maxime Martin the 27 year old Belgian BMW Factory driver was born on March 20th 1986 or BORN on May 20th 2013.


Great victory by the Black Falcon boys though and especially Bernd Schneider and Sean Edwards.

Forgot about that moment from Bernd. Seems like it was a year ago...

Isn't there another 20 odd minutes to go? What have I missed???
Whatever, Max Martin has another IMMENSE drive for VDS. Congratulations to all at Marc VDS on a great result, be it 1st, or 2nd.
And how did Black Falcon just pop out way out in front???
