It looks far better than the other GT cars over the bumps though, it's been taking tighter lines through T17 a few times to set up passes either on a switchback or into T1.

McNish dinged for his coming together with Schultis.

Super harsh again from the officials. The PC car drove into McNish for me. Quite a tough place for Nishy to put the car but there should have been room there.

Nightmare for the Vette. Says Gavin is in neutral when he's out on track and gets a speeding penalty.

So @AllanMcNish avoids an accident with a mobile chicane on the track and then gets a penalty... I don't get it.
Dario's view of the Nishy penalty. Completely agree. Bad stewarding.

Agree...that was 'NASCAR-esque' to call that...but it was worth it just to hear Justin Bell threaten to punch Johnny O in the face (with Till egging him on). I've always liked that Till. He's even more of a wise-ass in person when he doesn't have to behave for TV....

Awesome seeing the Viper fighting for the lead.

Surely plenty more twists and turns to come. Can see Risi pipping everyone on account of their better mileage. Beretta will need to find some pace however.

Yeah just a bit sketchy under braking but not stopping Farnbacher who just takes the lead!

Awesome for SRT.

Viper to the GT lead!

I kind of think that the Viper is going to pull away from the Z4, for the time being.

Fogel, you are a life saver for that live stream link. Thanks, man!

Would be very interested to see how well the '13 Aston would have been going if they hadn't had that radiator damage.

At least there issues were self-inflicted. Rare mechanical issues for both Vettes.


Meanwhile Ed Brown showing it's quite a jump up to P2 level.

Yea the Z4 does not have the speed on the long straights. I think Mosport should be a great track for the new Z4 this season to get it's first win.
