A green Ferrari 458 being driven very badly; are we sure that Tracey Krohn isn't involved with GT Corse?

Nearly 3 hours and not a single FCY, clearly this isn't a IMSA run series. Great work by the track workers and marshals to keep everything flowing!

Thanks to them, we have seen a complete and good race. Nice to see the McLaren more reliable.

What a great hidden gem this series is, reaffirming it as possibly my favourite of all.

Great race, everything a standard sportscar enduro should be, with deserved winners and an unspoiled race. Roll on Silverstone.

Really enjoyed the race, lots of intrigue at the front and some close battles further back.

The 333 needs looking at, I counted seven trips to the gravel within half an hour.

Not the car, it's the russian driver that sent it into the gravel every 5 minutes.

Well yes, but it did visit the gravel again a couple of minutes after he had gotten out.

Might have been due to Kogay really messing up the car during his stint.

I feel kinda bad for Marco Seefried... must suck to drive the car to the front and then see it all undone...

It was a lovely drive from Seefried, Kogay had undone all that work before I'd looked up how to spell his name.

I didn't really follow the series last year because of the geoblocking, but I seem to remember Kogay running before and him not being such a mess. I feel kinda bad for the whole team, including Kogay because he made himself look pretty bad.

I was amused how John Watson called Marco Seefried "Manfred Siegfried" a couple of times, a nearly every other time as just "Siegfried." They really need to find someone else for that job.

Race was decent I thought. Wasn't sure I'd like the Bentleys but I have to say they look pretty good and they ran pretty well. Disappointed the Reiter Camaro didn't run, hopefully it will turn up for some of the other races.

I'm starting to like this series. Honest endurance racing with nice and easily accessible coverage. There are many racing series out there that could learn a lesson or two from BES.

"It's a joke" - says it all!

Better keep Watson, he calls it like it is, Ben Edwards can make the necessary technical corrections, works fine for me.

He does say what he thinks which is a good thing, but sometimes I think he is a bit too quick to judge harshly and can make a big deal out of things. When added to his rambling that he seems to do and his frequent errors he can grate a bit over the course of a 3 hour race.

I do enjoy hearing some of his memories/track differences/tales from his day, and he does have his moments where he is quite funny. I remember the Zolder GT1 race a few years ago had a few classics.

As Ren Wei spins his Porsche - "Looks like Ren Wei got it WONG way!"

EPIC! I guess Manfred Siegfried is the real name of Hauptmann Deutschland - the arch enemy of Captain America

Spa 24h: massive WRT line-up
A bit early but WRT is getting the hammer down for Spa 24h.

I can't believe WRT will use only 2 cars at spa. Should be the first race for treluyer inside an R8 lms, am I right ?

According to driver db: yes, it is his first race in a R8. But he's done GT500 in Japan before so he should be able to adapt (althought GT300 is closer to GT3).

And sorry for the confusion: I forgot the two other WRT cars because they are not finalized yet.
