This year has been fantastic so far. Even Erebus are starting to shine. Just need some more consistency.
Agreed great to see such a variety at the front.

Great punch from Marcus!

Pity our guys aren't allowed to display that level of emotion and must always be mindful of protecting the brand.

Hasn't stopped Paul "I'm A Fat B@stard" Morris showing it on track.

My bet is the obvious, Mears will send Ambrose into the wall next race and then Ambrose will do the same.

Yet funnily enough, Morris is the one who has been on the wrong end of a fist on TV.

I just watched it again - for old times sake - Longhurst has his belts off and the door open before his car has stopped. I'm thinking in his eyes, Morris wasn't wearing one.............and watched it again.

Yes it was great to see!! i have been following GRM since I was a kid so I was pretty pumped for Scott & the team
I had a chance earlier this month to visit the GRM workshop (i am in the Volvo dealer network) as part of a parts and service managers meeting, we got to have dinner the night before with Scotty Mac, Rob Dahlgren and Gary Rogers and you will not meet a nicer bunch of people (i am aware that Volvo is giving them lots of money and they should be nice) but they were very generous with their time and answered any questions we had, then the next day on the workshop visit/tour they were very open about everything they do when building the cars and showed us all the ins & outs & made it very clear they had no secrets or anything to hide & we could take as many photos as we liked, i dare say you probably wouldnt be allowed to do that at somewhere like 888 or FPR!?

If any of you motorsports nuts are about, Le Mans 24 hours is on a live feed.

In the graveyard shift at the moment, about 4AM or so, so not a great deal to see.

Oh yeah, Toyota are leading.

4 and a half hours to go, Webbers Porsche still sitting second, one lap down on the leading Audi.

Toyota Fail.

Thanks for the link. Always wanted to watch Le mans live but didn't know how (other than to go there that is)

Webbers Porsche now leads, it's having a trouble free run, but not as quick as the number 2 Audi in second, now on the same lap, which has had a few issues.

Interesting.

3 hours to go.

Awesome to watch and  have learnt so much. The car in p1 was an audi that had a turbo failure with 3 hours to go. Turbo replaced in 17 minutes so webber is now in P1.  Woohoo!  My mechanic is going to hate me watching this cos when my turbo goes and needs to be  replaced on the TD LC 100 I know it can be done in 15 min. He charges $100 per hour. Sooooo..... 25 bucks plus parts should cover it.......

only 17 minutes... BUT!

it takes 15 mechanic's and the turbo costs $250,000.00

probably still cheaper and quicker than allot of dealers...


#20 Porsche still in the lead and Weber behind the wheel for the run home.

Webbers in trouble... His car has slowed considerably. He might be lucky to get back to the pits.
