    It actually looks like Senna & Kobayashi made a good move leaving Williams/Sauber to something competitive

    You have to admire their dominance even with the rules tweaked in Toyota's favour.

    Geez, nasty looking accident for one of the Aston's already. Long safety car to get the driver out. Hope he's okay.

    When I was a marshal at Brands hatch, the longest I had to wait was 2hrs and 30 odd minutes. They don't like to risk anything, took 2 hours to get him out and another wait for the barrier to get fixed.

    Wonder if Cosicave knows of a John Grant?

    Missed the crash, tuned in for the safety car period and haven't seen a replay. <doh>

    Hope he's ok though, they're reporting that he was at least conscious.

    Well there goes one of my picks. Had the #95 down as a certain winner of the GTE-AM

    Looks nice though. :)

    Figured the Audi's would stick to the track better in the slick spots.

    Apparently there's a recall on that Toyota model.

    Got it on the wet kerb. Looks like the spinning Ferrari ahead distracted him.

    Simonsen has died from that crash.

    When Olly was talking about it, it sounded bad, i didn't realise it was that bad.

    Shocking news this, as you said, it didn't look too bad a crash at the time.

    RIP. <rose>

    Apparently one of the Eurosport reporters touched some damage on the back of one of the cars whilst it was stopped in the pits. Technically, that's grounds for the car to be disqualified. Going to be interesting to see if that happens.

    With all this drizzle, you would think Le Mans is in Wales.

    I think it was the IMSA Porsche (the one who got the puncture)
