Well, impressive, Wilkinson ended up in the forest.

Lapped drivers being assholes.

Just got back from Brands. I was in two minds whether to go - glad I did !

I rate it as the best 'Blancpain'-type race I've seen att his circuit. There seem to be more younger drivers now - the racing was hard and fast ( OK, maybe a little too hard at times) but both races were very entertaining. Unusually for GT3 at Brands, some superb overtaking moves. Plus -all the usual Brands benfits including clear broadcast commentary and a terrific view.

Great stuff ! :smoking:

Pretty good race, actually

Many Polish flags in the grandstands. The organizers decided to make this a free access race (as in no fee charged for tickets). Kubica just gave his interview in Polish. Didn't understand a word of it, but he looked pleased with the result :lol:

We have some curious World GT Sprint action today at Circuit Ricardo Tormo of all places. So please enjoy these last chapters of World GTs as the season unwinds.

Will post the second one a bit later. Cheers y'all.

Meanwhile we watch a damp mall car park in Turkey, the last GT World Challenge Europe race of the season is getting underway at Montmelo, Catalunya.

The good part is that it's an Endurance race so we have plenty of time to enjoy if after the Grand Prix.

GT Blessings.

Marcus Winkelhock wasn't on the podium because he had to fly back to Germany ASAP as his wife is about to give birth.

The other thing that strikes me is that there's been one helluva generation of Swiss drivers since Sébastien Buemi (Marcel Fässler, Rahel Frey, Simona de Silvestro, Patric Niederhauser, Eduardo Mortara, Nico Müller, etc.). The next one will be Lucas Légeret. Not bad for a country that doesn't allow circuit racing.

A bit busy with the MotoGP shenanigans and BTCC finale going on but there's still a fight in the GT category as well as LMP3 here.

Enjoy some Algarve Autumnal ambiance y'all.

I shudder to that what would have happened if a single-seater had hit the tires before the pits the way that LMP3 did (the incident after Memo Rojas's LMP2 lost a wheel)...

Sophia Floersch driving for the #24 this weekend.

I believe she's the first car on track to have changed tyres. Looks quick.

Because of the crest he probably couldn't see the pit wall, and he didn't realise he was heading towards it until it was too late, right? Scary.

Edit: Looking at a low onboard camera... maybe I was exaggerating a bit.

Edit 2: And now I caught up with the interview where he says he chose to hit the wall in order not to T-bone Memo Rojas. :up:

Shocking crash for Ya Qi Zhang in the Macau GT Cup today

https://streamable.com/i8ncnj

Thankfully he survived the hit but apparently suffered a collapsed right lung (as well as contusion to same lung), multiple rib fractures and abrasions.

Must be one of the hardest hits I have seen in a GT car
