Nobody seems to have started this yet...

British Gt is currently live-streaming from a wet Oulton Park with ~24min left. There is a second race at 3.25PM BST (but it appears the first race started late)

Race 2

[bargeboard]

Thank you, Sir. Can never go wrong with some background racing during the work day!

[MrAerodynamicist]

If you're interested in such things, the first race was of note for being the first outright win for a woman in the history of British GT.

[ANF]

And the second race was stopped after four laps behind the safety car. Too much standing water.

[Vielleicht]

Couldn't watch Race 1, tuned in for Race 2 and than find it's rained off. Shame  

 

Pleased for Flick Haigh though, brilliant stuff.

There's also the second VLN race of the season. Race start at 12:00 CEST.

SO much action this weekend! 

[OvDrone]

I am watching Blancpain GT qualy at Zolder right now. Gotta say, I like that the field is a bit more compact now. There's still like 30 stellar drivers on the grid and it makes things more competitive.

 

Hope WRT won't run away with this, but I wouldn't mind a win for Dries Vanthoor on at his home race.

 

Race 1 starts at 13:25 GMT. Don't think I'll catch it live but thank the gods for Youtube.

When does the Okayama Super GT race start? Why must all these websites be so IDIOTIC, bloody hell!!! Can't find the most relevant information anywhere, but that's the norm.

I think it's 10PM GMT on Sunday evening.  Scrap this and see ANF's reply.

 

If you click on the Youtube link (the last one in ANF's post), it will give you a timer indicating how many hours until race start.

I feel for you, most series' websites don't put out the crucial information to the front page - where it quite frankly should be.

This week-end is motorsport overkill.

 

The ring, Zolder, F1 Q, indycar, and now I'm watching this:

 

 

 

Edit: there is so much to watch, I feel like if I had had gotten breast-implants as a teenager. Never leaving the house, ever again

No no, the race starts at 14:40 local time,
which is 05:40 UTC,
which is 06:40 British Summer Time,
which is in 10 hours and 30 minutes.

Well damn, should've figured that there's something very weird with that start time.   

 

Thanks for clearing it up.

No problem.

Just finished watching the SuperGT race. Gotta say, the dudes from Nismo TV were a delight.

 

Very surprised to see a certain Mister Button in 2nd place. Great racing.

[juicy sushi]

In case anyone missed it, here is the Super GT race, with English commentary. As usual, it has the action of a good touring car race with the high-tech geekery of F1. Seriously, it's utterly brilliant:

Just watched replay on NismoTv,damn this SuperGT is real fun.I tought Jenson was too safe after a good start.Then before the stop he was pretty good for 4-5laps,looking at lap times...they didn't changed tyres so they could jump to P1 then fall to P2....Classic Jenson i would say?   Pretty good drivers there.

Are McLaren just in GT4 this year?

That was a cool neat race in Blancpain Asia; awesome battle between Niederhauser and the Lambo. Great overtake on the outside of turn 7. Sepang always delivers.

We'll be happy like pigs in mud the next many months.

I can't think of a time where there was that much GT racing available for watching.

I think GT racing will be my drug of choice.

watched the Blancpain GT Sprint series in Zolder and had great fun, same with the GT4s. This is, IMO, great racing

There's a Blancpain GT Endurance race at Monza this weekend. I am very hyped for it.

Ah yes! Blancpain Monza, the spring is truly here.

That's quite a distinctive throaty sound coming off from the new mid-engined GTR.

[Jeeves]

Gotta love how they haven't bothered to cut the lawn around the circuit.

 

This gives a fascinating view of the aero wake along the straight towards Parabolica, swinging the long grass and the thousands of dandelions about cheerfully as the cars go by.

[ANF]

Haha brilliant!

Looks like a cracking Super Trofeo race, especially the last lap.
