    Anyone going to watch it? I'm going shock win for the new Toyota, i know Audi tend to dominate, but the Toyota looks a very driveable car, and being Japanese should be super reliable too.

    Was going to continue with a customary race thread but away on work so thats that out the window. Doubt il even get to see a minute of the race :( must book it off in future, in fact I plan to be there next year.

    As for the win, Toyota looks fast but fragile. I think they will be lucky to bring a car home to the finish. Really a question of which Audi will win. Im thinking Kristensen and co.
    GT2 will be a Corvette win. Long straights set up beatifully for their V8 tower of power. Magnusson and co for the win there.

    Lets hope the GTC cars can refrain from trying to demolish passing prototypes this year.

    Looking forward to the race, but it looks like an all Audi domination. Will be looking at other classes for once this year.

    I like that TS030 Toyota. Bit bored of Audi dominating each year, good to see toyota running 2-3 at the moment.

    It's a pain in the arse trying to find a decent stream, quality is certainly lacking in streams this year. <grr>

    Nothing to do with manufacturer, stupid introducing an amateur class into the race. Bring back GT1. Inexperienced drivers do not make for a good class entry

    Are you sure it was a GTE-Am car? I thought it was a GTE Pro entry that Davidson hit?

    Piergiuseppe Perazzini's #81 AF Corse Ferrari was who Davidson collided with, and he is classed as a GTE Am

    Ok, thanks for clearing that up. Feel bad for Ant Davidson, hopefully it's not a fully broken back.
