Very impressed by the amount of coverage that Eurosport are due to provide.
Entry looks particularly strong; hard to pick an obvious winner. Hope those attending have a great event. |

You mean Motors TV.
The event is getting more and more prestige. |

Looks like there's going to be a lot more coverage of this race than last year's race. I think last year we had a page with 3 static camera shots of the circuit (2 of the pit straight, and one of some random corner which I couldn't fathom out where on the track it was), and the commentary was from a Tannoy that wasn't connected to the webcam, ie. we were hearing it as it was read out to the circuit, ie. we heard echoed mumbling completely drowned out by the sound of the cars as they passed.
PS. I intend to attend/join any endurance racing party that may be held in the chat room. |

Looks like MotorsTV is pretty much able to cover the whole circuit with just two cameras

RLM said earlier they could see 80-90% of the circuit from their booth.

The circuit does fit into the side of a small hill so it is reasonably easy to see quite a bit of it from the pit straight which at the higher end of the circuit, viewing is helped by really big run off areas so the concrete walls don't obscure too much of the circuit.

Very pleased to see Michael Krumm put the Nissan in the second row, nice.

As good as the Dubai event certainly is, this stuff is just overly complicated with the "joker" times and everything.
Sports car racing is hard to follow as it is, this just makes it worse.. I can't see how a casual motorsport fan is supposed to understand this. |

I am confused. What prohibits them from sandbagging during qualifying in order to not get any restrictions?

Nothing, Jeroen Bleekemolen just admitted on twitter that they are in 15th place and haven't put in any real fast laps, just to avoid getting a weight penalty.

These fuel tank reductions also seem huge. A 4 sec faster lap time (2:02 vs 2:06) means 20 liter less fuel

Well that's a nice start for another season of artificial GT3 "racing". What a piece of cr*p

On a related note, the Bathurst 12H organisers are following the same system. As if qualifying wasn't irrelevant enough for these races... They've rendered qualifying null/void, and ruined any likelihood of creating however small a spectacle out of the sessions. |

Well for what it's worth the stream quality is actually pretty nice and RLM crew can make anything sound exciting.
