Thanks for this :thumbsup:

Did they actually start the race, or keep the SC out for that car on fire?

And has it left Oil?

Porsche (lol) loses it on the kink on the straight and slaps the barriers quite hard.

WTF

They're running some stupid children's pedal car race on the start finish straight, then they cut to the vintage cars approaching the pit area.

For a moment i thought there was a miscommunication and the vintage cars had been sent out to start their race with the kids on the track :8:

That is one GT40 driver glad that the Porsche Curves were given that runoff. Frightening place to lose a wheel.

Basically everyone got a penalty in that race

The amount of SZ penalties makes you wonder how clear the authorities were about communicating the SZ in the first place

One or two drivers speeding, fine, their fault

3/4 of the entire field?

Something else was going on....

I don't think a lot of them have radio's do they? In which case they should be paying more attention to flags and boards.
