REWIND - 2012- NAVARRA - FULL RACE - BLANCPAIN ENDURANCE SERIES

[Music] [Music] after 36 hours of racing over the season and 830 laps the Blancpain Endurance series reaches its final round here at navara in northern Spain with all the championships still to be decided be them for drivers or for teams and this next three hours promises to be another fabulous race not only with the championship situation but also with what the weather may throw at us we've had a bit of rain this morning but are some big black bull head and clouds on their way and the team's fearing they're gonna have a very wet race or an increasingly wet race as we work our way through the three hours the grid 41 cars lined up ready to go David Addison and Haley Cox and trackside looking forward to seeing who is going to be crowned as just the second ever blocked planet urine Series champion in the Pro Cup bass line does Maxine Martin and Marcus Powe Tula have just three points in hand over Christopher Hauser Christopher meats and Stefan Ortelli and red Puccini is next on 62 points but he's not here this weekend Marc Goossens Mark Henry chin savvier Marcin of squabbling against Edward Sandstrom and Lawrence van tour again just three points between them although the Porsche of the marks and Savio Marcin did not have a good qualifying and finds itself way way back on the grid it's all that for crabs as well within pro-am and this is where Nico Merson and Louis math eels take on Eugenia mo status and Ravana Cheney and jackhammer Petrov le and rare Bertolini who has driven this year with Hama Sonoma keels he's absent this weekend he is racing in Japan he also missed the Silverstone round because he was busy on the Livan test that's why he's got a different number of points so it's between the AF Corse up and the Vita for one team Italy Ferraris with the soft red Ferrari a brood of Achmed a battery squalor from Toronto Berber League and outside that for second as far as Pierre Hershey and Roy it hit some are concerned in the gentlemen trophy effectively all they need to do is finish to win the class in the championship there ahead of Michel van Rijn yam brunstedt who had joined this weekend not by your commands but by Daniel ruse Daniel de bruin and Christian Keller's Rumford they've not done the full season but they've gone very quickly when they have race indeed they have taken two wins let's hear from some of the drivers getting into this race let's start with Robert his'n he's on the grid with Hayley Roberts starting from the back of the grid it's not exactly the start you would have wanted for the final race but all you have to do to take the title it's finished can you do it well I think so we unfortunately start at the back but if we can bring it back in one piece we should be able to do it but it'll be a good race and a lot of championship fall fighting in the last position too so it should be good thank you why is Robert here some at the back of the grid he had a five-place grid drop because the car was found to have crossed the white line at pit exit and the stewards decided to fall back contravention of the regulation so five paces the car would have to drop on the grid others have suffered a five-place grid for speeding in the pit lane and others for crossing the white line that pit in so the race officials have been very keen this weekend to make sure that the white line is the safety lines in and out of the pit lane are not crossed because that can be dangerous and say you've got people tumbling down the order and another car that tumbles down the order is you look at 58 the double fast winning Porsche Christian calendars to start on the grid that another car that will tumble down the order is significant in the championship a number three mark VDS racing team that has a tenth place group drop carried over from the Nurburgring where the car was involved in an incident in qualifying with a number two Audi and so it carried over to this round it means that the BMW starts 15th on the grid well there is the grid busy with the VIPs at the front at the moment having their grid walk they are making their way into the pit lane that's the back of the grid you can see the sands are locked out e you've just been hearing from the driver Robert Robert hits him right at the very back and just ahead and to the left is the of course the Ferrari that Yannick Malik called drama Michela and how a bank sure Yannick maligore will go first in that car news from the grid is that Michael Mallard who's making his gt3 debuts driving for DP motorsport in one of their BMWs Eve Falls had an engine drama yesterday that's been changed overnight ready for qualifying this morning so Michael mallet looking to make his gt3 debut but with this new engine let's go back to the grid and hear from some of the pro and drivers alessandro ponte cheney fighting for the crown haley all yours alessandro the battle of the Ferraris is on can you take the title here this weekend we can't because now we are close to the our competitors and we're trying to do the best to gain the championship but you know it's really difficult whether the car the other drivers it's amazing i'm really excited now thank you Giacomo petrol Bali is already strapped into the car ready to do the first stint and when I saw him at the airport on the way out he was saying he was pretty nervous because he was hoping he could have wrapped up the championship at the Nurburgring that car and its key rival both got involved in a similar incident they found a very slow car ahead going into turn one each had to take evasive action each ended up off the road and with damage and out of the race so it has taken the championship to this round just as it has in the Pro Cup so we're lined up some great battles not just on track and I'll come to one or two of the interlopers in a few moments but also within the championship three hours everybody has to make two mandatory pit stops and tyres must be changed as well as the drivers within those pit stops if you have a free driver car two drivers then the gentlemen race up must do an hour and fifty minutes as the maximum driving time now we've heard from one of the pro-am championship contenders lumic Hills is another driver who could well leave Spain as the champion who's on the great with Haley we will you be the fastest Ferrari on the grid today we'll see you know in three hours we'll know it's just it's a normal race so good to see what happens thank you so the hills who shares as ever with Nico Merson but also for this weekend with Alessandro Pierre BT who drove with them to win the class in the spa 24 hours and rare Bertolini who is normally to be found in that car in the last stint racing in Japan this weekend so to be here is a very very quick driver indeed he set the qualifying time in that car and there is a car leading the pro batch line this goes first in the mark VDS BMW three points they have in hand over Christopher Hassler Christopher Mies and Stefan Ortelli but they start 15th on the grid and it is not going to be easy this the car having had a lot of damage done to it when it was punted off but no green remember Marcus powder that was hit by Dino Lunardi in the sand about how D cmart I'm leading the grid the car is there ready to go but what progress is going to be made early on by that line there's 41 cars heading into the first sequence of corners which tightens all the way around is going to be a real scram before the king a corner and a happen and it is possible to overtake but it's not easy but keeping out of trouble through that first sequence is going to be key well let's hear from bass line as he strapped into the BMW is he going to be champion Haley we'll find out the start of the season you started 18th in mom's there and you still able to take away can you do it today well that was in the rain of course here will be a lot more difficult but we do our best we just do a race that's normal we can only do our best and then see where we end up thank you fast Niners being fairly tight-lipped about it saying we can only treat it as a normal race but they're fully aware of the championship situation and effectively they can get away we've been one place behind the wrt Audi were worried more about the championship situation as we get going but if they finish on the same number of points at the end of the season the BMW team has got more wins so they would win on a tie-break there is a little bit more to it than that though effectively whoever were to win within that class would be champion but then if you look at the lower places and where people finish against a little bit more complicated it can be intriguing this is just for the race for the championship as well Stefan rat out and surely you know that down is the man who runs the series on behalf of SRO initially connects GT racer himself is a man that runs the circuit here at Annavaram so Christopher Meese is another potential champion in the Pro Cup he is one of the audi drivers and he's on the grid with Haley Christopher he is certainly starting in a strong position can you take the championship today I mean we're in a good position we are actually 55 and our competitors are P 50s at least we have to score four points more in the championship I hope we have a good start there are two slow MacLaren's behind us but we would see what happened thank you so Christopher Meis ready to go now let's just look at the front of the grid for a moment because he has a rather unusual look to it to hexxus mclaren not seen one of those in blonde pound this year and beurre blanc pan lamborghini well we have seen that car we've seen it when it's class but this weekend there it is on the outside of the front row the Brawn pound right and Lamborghini goes into the pro car mark Hayek is here but more bracing instead Peter Copts is joined by your cementum and Stefan Rosina and Cox and Rossi no one at the Nurburgring in the qualifying race in the gt1 World Championship this is a car from the gt1 championship converted to block pound expect for the weekend because the regular chassis not repaired after a big whack of mark Hayek suffered at the Nurburgring but that's the car on pole position to be started by of our apparent Texas McLaren which Fred Maccabee who set the qualifying time and Steph düsseldorf who's the third driver of the car took to two wins here in the GT won races back in the early part of the summer so that is a car certainly goes well around here but this weekend runs on Michelin tires rather than the regulation Pirellis from the gt1 World Championship it's another thing to factor into this intriguing three hours the race director Park is on the grid waiting the green flag to release the car onto the formation lap at the rolling start they stopped on the grid of course that go straight into the race and that we will be in business for the last round of what has been a superb championship Paul Briggs great racing a fascinating battle is about to get underway properly grid over the course of the season just professional racing drivers who lack one drivers the more winners add celebrity chefs you can stunt them wealthy gentlemen racers real real mix of people within the pan endurance series family sick traits we've had this year next year the plan is five but it will keep this far 24 hours as a showpiece event for now as you look at the 98 Audi of JB Motorsports started by the JB elements of the team yam brunch net performing historic racer now with his own aviation business the pilot the gentleman trophy after all to turn to at the moment we are set this last round of the series isn't going to be a win for the heck's it's racing McClaren you've got that car and the Lamborghini at the front of the field in pro cap potentially therefore taking points away from the Audi and BMW combinations looking to win the championship howdy has a trump card potentially in this that is but the Belgian holding club team wrt as you put the grid scrolling through has got a third car but he baoba querque starts on the verge Arbus and french Tipler are the other drivers and that of course is aimed and again helping the number 1 car take the championship looking at the green round through now very good effort in qualifying for McLaren of a arti Duncan Tapani putting it onto the crown position starting in the Gulf Olivia McLaren as ever will be one to watch in the mark VDS number 4 BMW was no Mike Hayes omens this weekend she took the car making its way through shot my Desmond's busy on his day job commitment to double words business duties have kept him out of a car Nick Katz Berg steps in instead mixed rose with the team in the zone for 24 hours and he gets a Charles now racing with Mark PDS in the bullpen series and whose grill up watching the program cut michael mallet in number 36 the BMW that's going to be started by Nikki my mouth off we are told switching away from the regular seat but he has a beautiful one which is here with regular car that is louder going first that feel turning its way up towards the and on the lack you can see in the background one of the two pits in lanes is down at turn 13 a second gear hairpin 65 kilometers an hour speed building once again turn 14 is a very fast flat-out kink and then it's hard on the breakdown in some cars even to first gear for the last corner just under 70 kilometers an hour then on to the pit straight the race shortly to get underway as of the front row then you've got Alvaro Arendt starting in the McLaren and he lines up alongside Stefan Rosina in the Lamborghini the second row of the grid bred by diverse da and Filipe Albuquerque McLaren an Audi respectively three hours of racing but last round of the championship gets underway the lights go out they fan out as they work their way up climbs uphill for wide lower down the order and diving up on the inside grégoire de muskie in the AR t mclaren tries to grab the d but her engine is that hands on to it the risky Trustin spotted behind him now the road tightens as one BMW running out way wide it's one of the DD motorsport cars the malamar mount half carbs the mercedes doing likewise in the background this is how busy it is as you ride on for the number one Audi for the first time as they drop downhill they've all just about survived that first few corners yes a few have gone wide but has been no real damage and bad line is in number three trying to work his way through traffic we're on board the BMW now that's why this turkey turning his way out of turn six trying to find a way past the Audi's the Audi team know exactly what it has to do keep that BMW at bay there is number four the sister cart large as well and in danger of losing the place there because he's being attacked by Dino Lunardi mark VDS and Santa vaca put a bit of previous everybody after the Nurburgring down the backstraight they come they're heading toward turn nine second gear another tight hairpin here again people trying to be heroes up on the inside of there's 52 on the pro-am championship recharging this car the airport super re Lily Mac heels at wheels as they work their way all that plum the three hours of racing are being hung out to drive bear was not the three best liners for wide cuz he tried to attack the Audi didn't pay off for him boat toward the end of lap number one overtaking not easy around here you've really got to be bold you gonna force the issue and there is bass line to stuck at the moment behind the number nineteen Mercedes Steve yawns going first there's Maxine Martin looking a bit pensive we know how quick he is even he will find it hard to overtake around here there aren't that many opportunities around it is max over the timing line at the end of the first lap of the race then it is Alvaro for a cleaning from Stefan Rosina mathias lauda rounds third and Nick over Paul and what progress he then his bass lines move on from 15th to 12 at the end of lap 1 number 5 you can see Nick over donk in the busan chignon McLaren is looking for away pals mathias lauda either miss Brett wada must be a made a good start went to the inside couldn't make progress to Mary slip to fit but if Albuquerque is set and then of course of those cars fighting for the championship the moment 1925 christopher nice and early 12 his battle endures but it's not just the overall position we've got to concern ourselves with it is the class situation in that group there are three Brougham cars you can discount and therefore of course real terms within Pro Cup so fast liners moves up the order it's fast points he's followed about not necessarily the overall situation even to the inside to get past deviance at the Luxembourg driver go to why the BMW alongside from the Mercedes fight back look at these it's got the grant in a straight line and bat sliders has to watch the Mercedes come back at him and retake the place great battling this the mercedes-benz off the BMW baseline as a gain goes for the inside line as they work their way out of turn line he's alongside he's got the inside line going into turn 10 but it's the outside line for turn 11 and he still can't find a way through right at barnabeez mark how to reach you in the Porsche there nose-to-tail Mercedes fending off BMW they're in different classes of course blinders tries to find a way through and he still can't do it you see the problems overtaking around here and now lined as he's under a tactical Mark Henry tree in the Porsche is right on his tail bass line does in this invidious situation trying to attack and defend at the same time for getting news that off the road has gone the other pro speed Porsche in the hands of Dylan dear dalla and also number 40 Tino Rinaldi returned 15 in other words the last corner at the end of the first lap of the race I think yes the santa cacao di contain the distances in the gravel though that's going no further the Porsche is stuck there as well so you've got two cars off the road at the last corner meantime this is term three as the leaders weren't there way out of the hairpin the only Gulf McLaren here this weekend is that old Wainwright but Rob belt starting and he's trying to make progress at the moment hey Tommy man was robbed out and their marginal time to pick up bits of GT car that's down at turned 15 and the circuit needing to be cleared before say our Liam Porsche off into the travel week we're gonna need the safety car and another one is God and that's 33 portion Eric damn or has had a big hit into the barriers see the damage on the front of the car and Eric demo off the road and he's out of the car and he's out of the race so 33 is a retirements trade away with damage and where has he gone off he's got a long way off through the gravel that car going no further it's at turn one in fact turn one right at the start of the lap and there's a lot of runoff even before you get to the gravel so Eric demo in a pretty big way there as you look here at the DB motorsport BMW tronic hang on with plates down towards the right 2nd gear turn 9 it's 37 BMW which is started by York inhabit the rider behind these 51z Venezuelan driver Catania Dania looking for a way by bit to mother otter Trofeo race we can't find a way through will be two games strongly let's Kevin desperate us the xko cup France racer just ahead at the moment on the 18th frankly chain-driven Mercedes which has really struggled this weekend he went so well remember finishing second at the Nurburgring but the team just could not get a clear map any qualified leaders go through our Laura Perez is continuing to pull away now two seconds clear Stefan Rosina in second place and there Mathias louder who's under real pressure now Nick over donkey's rider behind him and grégoire de Mesquite closing up as well in the AR team McLaren Lea you can see Eric Thames Porsche well off in the background at that part of the circuit to where he is and I get the feeling he may have been helped into that by the way he's out of the race and going no further is the McLaren battle shakes up now Dumas yay looking for a way past the dog who was a winner here last year in a Ferrari when he drove a beautiful one we've not really had a chance to see the best out of Nick another doc this year he was getting strongly at spa before he got attacked by the similar McLaren in the hands of clouds foam olive put both cars out of the race but here he's keeping grégoire de mis key at bay and trying to go with Mathias louder as well it's a deep DTM racer keeping the unbell jannat bay there he's Alvaro / el McLaren factory driver leading the way and that is the battered Sandton lot howdy damage bodywork damage from their suspension bother looking it being towed out of the gravel of turn 15 for a seemingly a bomber I McLaren switching sides that tries to gain ground diving down towards turn nine and that's takes a place away from bat launcher the father on McLaren in the hands of Steve and Jerry starting and Steven we know he's very quick so these days before the free and Touring cars and the Porsche Carrera Cup GB so he's words way past their launch at who in turn has got behind of the 52 Ferrari of Louie Matthews there had a snifter to shape up against 5757 Jackie well Petra belly is ahead at the moment which is looking good for the championship but we'll worry more about points where things start to settle down get enough in the program is even more so leaders go through gap this time around between the top two is getting wider because the last time around our bar a forensic gain that's because of the Stefan Rosina Nexus McLaren many people's tick for aware he's looking very strong at the moment although yesterday did go off the road and caused a red flag in pre-qualifying had a traction control issue McAfee but this morning he did a blinding math for pole position now they're his best lines in their number three BMW he's dropped back in fact one place because you can see Mark Henry trees ahead of him so fast light as he's down to 13 but there's an element of keeping out of trouble of the moment where's the championship opposition ninth overall is where you find the number one Audi Christopher meats that we love it three pro-am cars ahead of the pattern so again in terms of their class position they move up three that is a Porsche with a lot of damage isn't it we see the witness marks on the left-hand side of the body where also creditors mentioned the radiator have been done with the damage at the front as well so Eric is out of the race will of course therefore denied and when the Claire the chance to get behind the wheel the tall this McLaren fight keeps gaining MacLaren's Nick over don't regret why to misbehave now got the similar car of Rob Bell tucked up behind them a number 24 re in the hands of package gorilla ahead of knowing that heals there's a BMW trailer joined in that mix as well of rockin habits above 36 Nick Imam al Haas already they're so great it'll squabble this in 51 guy 10 you are done yet the STP cars in the mix that's habits same way wide he's got it wrong under braking going to turn 11 his loads of escape Road around that so he's okay threads his way back onto the circuit but he's lost a few places as a result of all of that as I Dan yet in the car that he shares with Giuseppe Giro and Dan Brown a very very rapid evaporated young British driver they've been really short of luck this year so he has been very little good luck going their way they're deserving of a good result and tail of the AF Corse of team car in the hands father MacNeill coming up over the timing line mostarda love that mac heels was in 17th place now making some progress it's the 51 Ferrari also in this group 36 mickeymo Melville works his way through he's now on his 18th spot and came in that's been us there the young French driver in the small garage Ferrari trying to gain places as well well let's catch up with what's going on for mark PDS Maxine Martin will have a view on this and he's in the pits with Haley it looks like the BMW is losing pace on the straights are correct yes I'll show it to repeat the weakness of the car and in the traffic like this it's always difficult to pass and we get passing the straight I think on one lap the guy is really quick so yeah we will see it's three hours it's long but now I think we are never good paid to come back in front we gather it is a mechanical problem that number 33 off the roads it was a contact for the driver error something that broke and caused the car to head off the road Maxine Martin yesterday they had a lot of work to do on the three BMWs do with the brakes Maxine Martin started driving and he is the fastest of the three is to carry a huge amount of speed into the corners and they were really struggling to get that car to work for him and they had to carry on that work into qualifying this morning if they've talked to the bottom of it then the car should go much more strongly when we had that last end over the timing by goes the McLaren fight the don't do miss d8 and then Rob Bell is he still are a Perez being away from Stefan resina and the number one Chrissa Burmese how deep running in ninth base overall but really seventh in class and bat-line ders is 13th overall 10th in class anything's would have stayed like that how they would win the championship they're not gonna stay like that and convince to it things will happen in the next two hours and 49 minutes so the championship situation is going to eV and flow the different teams as the three hours of the race unwise now there is the third Audi for the weekend Filipe Albuquerque there's also possibly this morning there is the teams championship to think about as well very definitely that car is here to try and help number one to take the championship so it's unlikely that's going to be a winning car if it had to be sacrifice to put number one into the lead it would have been no question howdy haven't already of course 1b Nurburgring 24 hours this year as well as and of course in the block calendar in series from the spa 24 hours and you would like some more time foods that add to the success rate before the end of the air drop out looking for a way past bread rodimus cure but you can see how difficult it is to overtake around here we know how fast Rob is but he cannot yet find a way past them is geared to them a nose-to-tail here as they go through the flat pink term 14 fourth gear 185 kilometers an hour and then it's hard on the break some cars down at first I was down to second for this last corner and then some drivers described it almost from a standing start back on the power this long long straight climb uphill heading towards turns one two and three became calmer and have been secrets and don't looking for a way past louder BMW howls its way up to all the braking zone of a donk could barely be any closer could he now break so so late going into turn three and in fact they're not that far behind and are catching Stefan Rosina in the Lamborghini the dog pulls out pulls back in again how's it look to get past louder this is the five or third base they're heading up towards turn six second gear 85 kilometers an hour through the left and if you get that wrong it compromises you all the way through the next couple of corners onto the back straight that is allowed of that running third Frank Keller is co-driver winner here last year that's hear from him now we're hailing Bank is looking like the BN do we could close the gap on the Lamborghini could he take the second position yeah my tears did a really good start it has a good pace now of course we have the strong MacLaren's behind us as well they are really strong on the straight so here's a big job to do to keep them behind him and yeah I hope we can catch up the Lambo and finally overtake him won't be easy for Matias but so far using he's doing a great job yeah thank you interestingly the race director has just declared this a wet race it isn't yet raining but it may well be soon what he's doing is putting the onus now on the teams to make the decision on tires in other words he is not going to take any intervention to help them put the cars on to a different set of tires if the weather conditions change there is catania Danya under real pressure still from Kevin Cespedes in the Ferrari and they've got Frankie Chang right up on them in the Mercedes good at the squabble this going on for 19th 20th and 21st places what's happened out of all of this to me conversant in fact yes hommerson has gained a place as neatly black day of course the Ferraris moved ahead about Daniel who runs out wide and desperate a Spanish passed him so that switches those Ferraris around and frankly changing the mercedes hoping to take advantage of that not over the Kerbal onto the dirt goes our Dania chain the Chinese driver lines up the inside of turn 15 and he goes through the Black Falcon Mercedes gains another place a flat back for Catania Dania who will drop outside the top 20 over the line goes 36 Nikki mom alwa recovering after his big accident at Donington in the GT one final round this is how the championship looked at the moment it was go the way a passive nice and Ortelli by two points over line does Martin and PAL tiller if things stay as they are if that's the pro cup you looking at so that is how things would be wipers on the Mercedes a Frankie Chang looking into the crowd I can see one or two umbrellas going up a forum or people heading into the grandstand for cover and we've got a problem for the Porsche 58 the gentlemen trophy car district elders and Daniel de Breuer double winner this year there's the exocrine engineering car coming up over the timing line very very slow he's missed pit in it's just gone past our window and I can't see any drama with that car the yellow flag waves there to warn everybody behind that there is a slow car is it a pot - is it a suspension problem it's it's a bit low on one corner and a number of cars with the wipers on so though it's not that wet where we are on the start and finish line perhaps around the circuit if he's becoming a bit more damper therefore more slippery and this is going to make things very interesting indeed we had a rubber where q2 this morning and it was only mathias lauda in the vita for one BMW who braved it out for a few more laps over repeals on a wet road just the gain some data boss part of the team wrt management along with Pierre Giordano she's on sees how the race is developing for his cars but currently are running seventh ninth and tenth it has been declared a wet Rachel's cars have to switch on their lights and they're limping round with possibly a left rear puncture or left rear brake and suspension is Christian Calders where he's going to lap down its end in a left rear corner but that car is going to lose a lap at the very least and the other problem is he may be doing damage by trying to drag it background so that costed me out of contention to see me do to the Jenner trophy Kevin s fine ass game bet that we've seen all year here he's now features 28th place and the dog has got past powder and the Porsche gets sideways or round goes kaldur's trying to keep out of trouble you can see the tar has gone down and van loons came at turn eight the second gear corner nose beached on the curb it's all going from bad to worse and thankfully none of the leaders got involved with that so to catch up quickly on things but donkus' got past louder we thought he was catching the Lamborghini but he's actually lost the place and now christian.kell does he's beached on the curb a portion for the moment going nowhere there's bass lines are still running in 13th place on the back of mark hello Ricci no fat cart can't get going is that gonna have to bring out a safety car we'll see but for the moment that moisture is stuck and rife on the inside of the core that is not a good place to be this is how we look with impro cap still it's the same situation as a lap or so ago still two points in hand for house that meets it'll tele over line does Martin and Powell to look fair that in mind as you watch things shut up around within the leading group here because although we've had a face change between McLaren and BMW that doesn't do enough to affect the championship what is interesting is the way that the Aussie Kepler louder BMW creeps into the mix as well we'll go on 6840 things with the stay as they are MacLaren's are side by side their look as rob bell tries to force the issue and he has got past Greg world a misty a now growth valve and I'm annoyed in the Gulf McLaren is up into the top five in his next target is mathias lauda who since the track became slippery seems to be struggling from those around and he lost the place and he's losing ground Filipe Albuquerque on the Race of Champions winner he's gaining places as well and this is bad lined as view at the back park henna reaches taillights stab ombre and henna reach in turn books away Paul Steve yes and he goes wider turn six liners tries to duck on the inside of them but he can't get through they're all flipped remember and the road is getting wetter and more breating but Henry she's stabbing on and off the brakes he tries to slow the car down for turn 8 2nd gear corner and look in the background christian calendars looked as though he's going no further see a flatbed making its way around the perimeter of the circuit presumably to try to get to that car but how easy in Aviva get that out of harm's way his lines are still hunts for a way to get past Henry - you're on board now wipers on for bass line ders down towards turn 11 2nd gear 66 kilometers an hour or thereabouts and he swings his way left and reach he in turn he's on the back of steve yawns the young bottom bird driver who did a really good job for Nurburgring and there you can see is the beater for one team the wet tires ready you've got V 2 for 1 and B 2 for 1 teammates at the you know joining garages so BMW or Ferrari to have tarz switched around it may well be the Ferrari of Jackman Petro Valley ROMs Grady driver the pronoun cap keep an eye to who if anybody comes into the pit lane I still think louder would be advised to come in but he's really struggling now as at the inside charges Rock bail and he goes storming past having a tool to turn one another place gain for bail and Ross Cena is under real pressure Nico the donkey the McLaren is right on the tail of the Lamborghini this for second place the Lamborghini fending off a McLaren but for how much longer up front I'll borrow Perez continues to lead and dare one suggest at the moment this is looking like a McLaren race and we haven't been able to say that season the cars really struggled at Monza at the start of the year they've got better progressively over the season and now the hexxus car leads and the boots and jinyeong car gains better than we have seen all season is back into the race goes 49 yeah it malabon who's made a pit stop there's barrel ahead of louder ahead of TT 8 it's now its fourth fifth and six another place lost enter louder rock bow having worked his way past it on this lap out of shoppers down towards us comes Rosina just ahead of their donk and now de muskeg tries to make a move on louder in the background as their Lamborghini and McLaren sliver their way out of turn line nose to tails got on behind it louder go through the corner has just checked there's no scene if there is burdock and then there is bail and there is Lauda making contact with the musky am behind you've got believe Albuquerque he in turn has got Daniels empty area - must be a goes wide al-bakr if he dives at the insiders empty air we try to go through as well and he gets by utterly hand out to dry Gregoire Demers game tumbles down the order you can overtake around here there's the evidence but it did take a little bit of rubbing to trigger all of that Lao defends off the McLaren and it's the Mercier that drops down the order but they're staying out because at the moment the slick tires remember have got enough temperature in them to work on slippery track and he commits now going to wet the circuit is just not wet enough for them he too more damaged the tires by running wets on this still semi dry Road it's better to stay out on slicks for the moment they've got enough temperature in them to be working properly still as Rosina fend off the doc who's getting stronger and stronger as his stink wears on here alvaro / at the race leader is now involved in traffic but this is the battle for second place Lamborghini versus McLaren as they drop downhill heading towards turn five fourth gear 150 kilometers an hour and corner tigey's then the road climbs a little bit and he's down to second for turn six his parental worked his way through traffic buries 41 up from the back of the grid Robert his'n who is now in 35th place overall second in the gentlemen trophy of onion Bruns death that's enough to give him the championship though we're going to be down to two finishers of course with the demise of a poacher the Lamborghini then running strongly in second and Yas Menten he's going to have a stint in that car welcome back to block Barrios he is with Hayley yes how long do you think you're gonna have to wait until you come in to change those tires it seems that I get stopped again raining so we're not coming in and if you see the sector times the second times also good we hope so [Music] so the teams are ready with the tires just in case but Oh Spencer say it's not wet enough to use them at the teams I've got to have them on standby just in case and now looking to be affected by lack for the a meal for a Jackie O's being negotiated Lawrence Frey the grandson of Emil Frei stopped in that cart Messina gets past him and resina therefore counts Nikko the dog but look at Rob Bell but Kells McLaren in the background bearing down on them over the timing like things they put a lamp on Theon price and the font Ryan racing McLaren right he's is photons chance to give a second place Cena defends Slovakian he's on the inside it right around the outside there's no dog break move heading up towards turns one and two he's going to get the car slowed down for turn three of the happen and he's done it really good move that by the dock people tell you the configuration of those first few corners completely go against any horse but they were taking no Anto Nick over Dom met did they round the outside a really good move he's worked for him he puts a lap on Robert issome as well so Stefan Rosina drops back into third place and the number five McLaren which is started by Nick over donk and has come up from eight on the grid is going great guns here takes McLaren's one and two run by different teams hexxus ahead of the boots and genial racing team and what about the Dave price round Delft racing car you can see in the background in the hands of Rob Bell that is inching up onto the tail of the white ball my writer Lamborghini won't be long before Belstaff to attack the third and then behind them you can see fifth is mathias lauda their sixth is the our date could he how occur keep the wheel and seven behind him is the castle racing Ferrari in the hands of Daniels MP aring has taken to pole position this year he wants another scalp here he wants Felipe Albuquerque to get through get past him rather and drop the Moose yay and then Christopher meats behind him the number two Audi very much playing the team game is he just sitting there Marco Bonanomi making sure he's behind and therefore not scoring more points than Christopher meats but as far as Sam Pieri is concerned he wants to get past another car Albuquerque is his next target you're onboard with Christopher Meese he's looking for back of Gregoire Demers da flan through turn 14 out on the break down to second gear soon on the dash on the display turn 15 and almost hanging the tail of red white amidst his McLaren free citizen looking out is that within the top ten at the moment how his bass line is getting on he's still stuck in 13 plays fine mark enter Ichi so that BMW that was struggling a little bit the pace yesterday where they want to be with that carpet fresh little time to work on it morning that's those three to 15 minutes seconds of qualifying mr. Billings running in my face at the moment but of course that 7th in class they forget because you've got the two program cars what bells Carlton pro-am indeed is the class leader Greg why the muskie is in pro-am so take those two out of the equation when thinking points for the overall championship see ganster fending off Hana Ricci fending off blinders the freeway battle the Mercedes in pro-am ahead of two Pro Cup cars there's the Jack Europe which was for much of yesterday struggling with an electrical issue they've got to the bottom of battle the car still very much in the early days of its development and struggling a little bit for speed and get very proud Sam Thierry the head of the miss da de muskie a intern now is trying to fend off Christopher me7 paper-knife those three as they've worked their way out of turns head and head or Ichi they're in the Porsche looking for a way past the Mercedes towards turn 11 but Stevens with experience of the BLM's before he came to block plan his overhang over the place Mark Henry she looked to be inside touch back in that porch I remember one at the Nurburgring the Mercedes he trying to get past was a class winner at the Nurburgring behind them is bat sliders waiting to try to find a gap the race leader has just gone across the timing line as you look at ballot a trial Cena coming out on the last corner Rob Bell should go through he does go through each before the line he's ahead so now it's McLaren 1 2 3 hexxus ahead of boots and Jimmy on the head of Gulf Racing Rob out up into third spot what further progress can be made from there started seven former grid goes louder behind his MP Eric there number two is Marco Bonanomi running in tenth place an eighth in class when you take the pram cars and the equation that we hate the place points for him [Music] Sam here returning his way up towards turn six and we've seen those Audi's numbers 1 & 2 running nose to tail let's have a word about team strategy if we can because bounce on boss he's with Haley Vincent one or two are firmly sticking together is this the stretch D for the whole race well no if it's a strategy boys [Music] the carnauba ii had a very good start and i think a number one is a safe start they are doing they are both doing very good job and i hope it's there like this and the order of drivers christopher Meese will hand over to christopher Houser we are toll Bonanomi to edward Sandstrom so Stefan Ortelli and Lauren's banter would do the lasted stretch Tipler takes over six and Annika Jarvis will do the last business telling me before the race would be the plan as you look at Steve Jam still fending off marc emery cheese this is for 11 12 and 13th overall don't forget best liners tagged onto the back of that group dance course another pro-am driver so that car you can take out of the equation as far as points so greens bass line there's another place back up the order as henna reach he tries to have a look to the inside it turned 14 and you can't do it about turn 15 steve yawns relatively inexperienced driver stands his ground mark henry she has been racing for many a season he's raged not just in sports cars he's raised in the World Touring Car Championship for Ralph romão one four seven Cup winner years ago mark gonna reach him certainly knows his way around a racing car and he hasn't yet found a way around the Mercedes at Steve Jan's but he has a look to the inside at turn while he keeps on looking and you see it as well in a straight line how the Porsche was getting away from the BMW more evidence of how that car does not have the grunt in a straight line the MW team saying to me yesterday it would rather like it the rain might be on its way here yet so if and where would it come how much of a factor is that going to have also just seal the perimeter roads the 58th porterie sordid budget our annex spend being brought back so that car is confirm as being a retirement and it means that it's just now the 98 JV matter sprawled out ahead of us antelope car Obama kisum for the gentlemen trophy race honors okay why there is 38 ferrari scuderia victoria car started by the Paraguayan Tony Candia he's racing the UK single seater to the mid-80s am Pieri customers gay who gets forced out even wider and he loses out and now for Christopher Meis for the first time one and two and not nose-to-tail they've got a McLaren between them so Sam Thierry gets by so does Christopher meets and grit Rodimus yeah good start as narrowly man elbowed back through the pack as me pressure is going to be on Duncan Tapia after he's good pole position lap to try and bring that car back into the mix after the first round of pit stops we're almost at the end of the first half an hour the nature of the circuit means there's no real drama on fuel teams very very happy to get the car to the our mark and do the banditry pitstop just great the race into those three sticks it's not a circuit where consumption is an issue in your having to think about a splash and down at the very end over the timing but Brendan did Nick over dock ahead of rob bell and now how D and McLaren run side by side lower down the order round the outside back up a place goes to miss gate powers he's way up into eighth ahead of Christopher Meese how much of that was the McLaren having better speed how much of that was Christopher meets not wanting to get involved in a battle keeping out of trouble those team managers briefing yesterday where they were reminded about the necessity to race cleanly unlike the gt1 World Championship decider of Donington weather was quite a positive contact some unfortunate incidents which really affected the outcome of the championship that's not something the organizers wanted to see within this 12-pound final round so the team managers were given a bit of a dressing down yesterday to pass on to their drivers so far so good Christopher meets their number one currently running in ninth place we drop back behind Gregoire to miss ta Matthews now accountant if you can see cow here turn line has dried up a little bit even though grey clouds hovering over the circuit spectacular backdrop to navara we're here in northern Spain the kingdom of Navarre and Bona famous for the whole running of our region which is ten thousand four we're kilometers explore this hundred mile long border with France an effective perfect setting for a racetrack of bass lines amok and amici are going to be warming to this circuit because now they've gained a place over Stevie and Porter and BMW go past Mercedes so here at navara things change yet again not only on track so star as a championship is concerned that what can bachelors do about getting past the Porsche the timing line there you can see in the pitlane the Albemarle PDS by this sum bar between the progress of number four which is currently in 16 and others progressive number three Daniels mpre who we know is quit because of his two compositions it almost alongside the area's louder goes wide past him goes Albuquerque and now Daniels MP area the castle racing Ferrari looks for away buyers rubble he has been able to find a way past Lauda just yet the Austrian keeps him at bay but Felipe Albuquerque who we've seen in the broadband series in the past switching away for this weekend from the DTM gets himself back past the BMW and it was an error from loudest slithering why but now Albuquerque goes wide coming out of turn six and labrys right back on his case looking for the inside line out of seven towards eight he picked about the inside line he's still thinking about it as they come on to the straight but he hasn't quite got the brunt coming out of the corner right up behind ladder is Daniels an Pieri to bustiers catching up as well albuquerque defends from louder loudly defends from sam Pieri in the Ferrari and Lauda breaks late-game towards turn nine Daniel Sam Thierry car underway through there and he's now under pressure from the white McLaren right with him is Greg Wagner miss Jenny's trying to line up to have it on the inside which he does he goes through it he almost tags the back of the BMW that was very close indeed somehow contact avoided that was real hearty mouth stuff for the Vita for one guys and it was very touch and goes to must give just got the car slowed down in time and thankfully that was all going the touching but only by coat of paint so the musky gains at plates from Daniel Sampey Eric again he shows how you overtake around here it's got a beat with a bit of a lunge a very brave god I got the insider which paid off their number two Audi Marco Bonanomi at the wheel running tenths he comes up over the line now header each Ian lined is released from behind Steve jams can they catch up this Q of cars ahead through turns one it goes mathias lauda he's got Greg Latimer skate tucked up behind him so louder is sixth and diversity a seventh and Sam Thierry behind is it ain't flakes that's the net result of all the shuffling of that previous left the most cables to the inside line down towards turn five and there's no opportunity there for it we crave for overtaking that part of the circuit then it's the slow turn six climbing uphill but if you run wide compromise all the way through this next section number one Christopher meets doing what's required of him in the early stint keep out of trouble as a suspect in the last hour when they put a staff attorney in the car now towards turn nine they go in the background you can see now he's trying to find a way past a Fieri's Ferrari there it is and there look is Mark Henry Qi and bass line there's whom not only are running together but they are catching bat feeding tam and therefore the gaps coming down and Stephen jelly breaks lazy dares in the von Romme McLaren going into turn nine Henry chief Porsche blinders BMW closing on number two the Audi of Marco Bonanomi the polynomial just electrical past sir he's not going to let the BMW through without a fight I'm Anne Ricci as well I'm gonna have to work oh so hard to gain more ground here they're onboard Midland is now the BMW praises great noise turns through turn 14 flat that it's hard on the right down through the gears [Music] pick straight arrow climbs uphill as they get towards turn one ground stand on the left it's on the right and there's no moose deer having a number gonna get passed louder this is the sick place McLaren on the inside of BMW chops across the front these two have raced together in the gt1 world as well as within the block plant series this year now we're getting news of an incident between 36 which is Niki mom Elmo - she's the new emachines mechanism Ferrari and that is under investigation we are told so where they incidents okay they're trying to think back as to what we may have seen that's either way stewards are having a look at that so we've got then the cars currently working their way on lap 21 there is the number one now D is Christopher Meis wheel Marco Bonanomi tucked up behind him 51 Ferrari recovering after a spin I tell you our Daniel so the car was looking pretty strong early on but now trying to catch up or pick up pace once again after a spin [Music] fifty-two doesn't look too damaged does it a bit of a dent to the side quite what the incident is well we'll see we'll get to the bottom of it there he met heels the Ferrari with the beautiful diversity a head of Lauda there would have been change for six overall now and the BMW tries to fight back as they drop downhill can't get through there [Music] battlin just the insider market or each you there at turn six he's over the curb but he's not been able to find a way through that he's been Charles yet behind us cookie baked its stick there but it was worth it go the other thing he's got to do of course is make sure he doesn't get any contact here and risk going out of the race with damage were being delayed with damage so fast lenders trying to work our way through they're all stuck behind traffic are fair Mark Henry cheese trying to get through traffic and defend his place they've also caught the Audi's it's not only a great battle this for the race it's also significant for what might happen in the Champions the louder goes off the road as he tries to get through traffic ease up the escape road and the BM dump is going to lose at least one spot without it on the inside there goes Christopher meats Bonanomi tries to find a way through that cart so louder drops down a place or two the mw2 the curve is allowed a tries to find a way through still can't do it and now the door is opening to the polynomial it looks for a way through on the inside at turn 15 Henri cheese next up and right there behind them as well as they come over the timing line but you've got bat line ders now and a region tries to find a way past the Audi he can open up the door if he can make that gap batch liners might be able to dive through but again look at Henry she does go past the Audi the BMW drops away in a straight line and loud has just lost another place hasn't he certainly number while his captor had at least sir yes the Audi managing to stay ahead even though loud of pork fat all the most level within for number one heaps the place they dropped downhill and now liners looked for away past number two this he's not going to be an easy pass and look at the way bada know me defense moves right across on him Hannah Ricci up the road he's trying to make progress as well but bass line is now he's going to have a really rough ride getting pearls number two Audi it's also called the that Ferrari in the pic tier he's number ten which was started by Maurice Ricci tried Bonanomi goes past him to lap him also fast liners nips up the inside you're riding on board with bass lines down towards turn nine Marco Bonanomi ahead of him and now of course there are quite a few cars between blinders and four pennies out of a brick but mr. Amit's of a moment within the first into the race but there is number one three cars open the faint fast separating out heat from BMW but 21 minutes give or take before we get the first round of pit stops giving themselves suited and booted counselor will take over from bat lined as a Maxine Martin as ever we'll do the last stint bass line does his best to wet the Coe into contention he was up to 12 and he dropped back to 13 12 years of game and still Marco Bonanomi not an easy man to get past go blind they come alvaro caress lest you forget indeed the way in the hexes McLaren timing miners louder tries to defend from henna Ricci who winds up to have a go around the outside and he does go fast but Porsche is another car getting stronger as the stint wears on and louder dropping away further and further and further he's made a few errors as we've seen is he now starting to overdrive the car either way is he's dropping further and further away force burden we thought he might be going for second and now just clinging on to a place within the top ten there's another 3mw bass line dust still looking for a way past Bonanomi now they don't be a enforcer lap Ferrari in the mix try and find a way past the number 49 car had a bit of a drama in qualifying and that he's 52 off the road the car that lead Pro Am has had a drama that feels shown as the driver doing the first stint and that car facing the wrong way off the road as Bonanomi tries to make a move on Lauda who has to get out of his way and Linus tries to come through as well two places lost for louder now the KDC now it works one driver forces the move the door opens up and if you're really good on you chose your pounce as well and that's how behind has gained a place but he's still a court even though they got past the BMW hasn't got past the Audi and Bonanomi good news though for best liners is it is one further place gained and what's going on here for louder why is he struggling like this is it just down to him over driving or is there something in the balance of that car that is making it handle not as well as once it did we've already heard one from frack Kepler we may need to hear from him again about this because that car certainly does not look as strong as it did within the first stint we also need to try to work out what happens at 52 j-mac heels McNally's drama still recirculating as the gt3 racing having brake will contain our own sports car one of last year's team WR team chasis and this is what happened to number 52 self-induced - quick over the curve back steps out of line now fields can't control it the car spins around off the road he goes [Music] now this is still the battle between Bonanomi and vast lenders they are running 10th and 11th on the road we move them up to places as far as their class positions are concerned we've got two pro-am cars in the mix one which has recovered really well Gregg raddimus key having been elbow back through the pack he's gained progress gained grounds up to fifth overall now as he's behind his mute still staring for back upon a Tomi [Music] now let's hear from mr. Bartels who runs the Vita for one team about why 66 is dropping back Haley what's happening I really don't know why we are so slow in the moment change the strategy and then we feel if we can improve their performance thank you so a bewildered Bartles then not quite sure why the car is dropping back but it is there is at least louder Eddie's now in 12 place overall third the car was in the early lap so clearly something is not right there and she's allowed to presumably have not been on the radio to tell them if he has cars isn't passing it off minders in the meantime is still right there on the back of the at 88 Leon price Bonner on McLaren we gather a stopped at the bike circuit pit entry we're 24 Stephane Rosina under pressure because now Gregoire dome is GA looks for a way passing remember that Ross seen around second early on he's now in fourth and he could drop to fifth in a moment because they're right behind him is the AR T McClaren they turned their way out of turn 11 behind them is the number six Audi Felipe Albuquerque still keeping Daniels MP Ariat Bay one of the mister you do to find a way past the Lamborghini could have seen the parents take places in a straight line can be past the pits well they're almost at that point of the circuit because that's the flat-out pink of 14 after wards turn 15 now and then you're on that pit straight heading to the start for them lap number 27 over the line comes from Cena over the line behind mr. miskeen on the next gaggle of cars Albuquerque just ahead is MP area eight lines of his Christopher Meese through he goes chased by Mark Henry Qi still the number 12 McClaren then right on the back of a Lamborghini these two still tied together stefandross Cena a race winner in the GT 1 world champion look there's MP ere he makes his move against Albuquerque on the outside coming out of turn three but he can't do it the Audi staves him off for the moment down they come turn four left-hander head to the slow turns five and six climbing uphill and Sam Fieri has dropped a length or two as now Racine agos widened to mitigate tries to get up alongside him but even if he can he'll be on the outside line for turn eight no he can't find a way through the McLaren has got the slot back in once more now this is how the championship looked in Pro Cup if things stay as they are out he would take it by three points from BMW in other words through telly nice house Urquhart would win it by three points over line as Martin Apollinaris now to misty a goes the inside against the Lamborghini can he find a way by they're almost level but again Greg ladder miss Kay's on the wrong line for the next quarter he switches sides and dives at the inside of that a really good movement it's worked for him great stuff my grip were diverse way to go from one side to the other he found the gap he's gone by and this McLaren that remember is leading the pro for a second I should say in the pro-am class he's chasing after Rob bells car within that group and given the relative pace Duncan tapi against Mike Wainwright this car is been very very strong indeed now to win the class coming into the race might Wainwright who has got faster and faster over the season he's not as quick certainly as Duncan Tapley so the AR T claw remake los peces early on is looking strong now for a class victory the incident on the first lap by the way between the Santa Fe County and the Porsche the pitlane is under investigation Sampey area the Ferrari challenges to get past Albuquerque can't do it at turn one through the cake through the corner up to the hairpin and they're both looking for a way past the Lamborghini Rosina just gets the car across the AMEX in time and there was almost contact then as he chopped across the front of bleep Albuquerque downhill they plums [Music] 4:71 daniels MP Eric looks for a way through behind his mark entering cheek as now Christopher means look to trying to make a move against the Ferrari he wants to gain a place because it's more points he doesn't want to do is get involved in the battle that might risk anything for that car they're an early stop number four to get that log jam out of the car and Cory Moser I suspect is going to take over it cats burg is the third driver this weekend are they going to put him in nectar re-mose it was all tech in a second or two the car drop down the order of course at the moment that a pretty short stint from longchamp he's down his duty to the day get him out of the car change drivers and see how that car now fares for the next spin it's going to be a fairly long stint through this middle period it's already Moser eFax getting in Christopher be still tracings MP Eric now on 29 so our current continues to lead from dicker burdock Rob Belford in this pattern one two three but it's now from McLaren one two three four with bread Wadhams gear having got past stephannie Hasina there is the number for BMW rejoining it drops on that as a result of that early pit stop so now the pressure is already moser from the gt3 champion to bring the car back into contention in this middle stint as far as the pro-am situation is concerned as we look out were seen a finding of Albuquerque Petra belly currently runs fourth in that class he's going to put it out of the points I would think that spin say for the moment pro-am look I can go away be two for one team Italy things are bound to change with two hours and 11 minutes to go as well seen around a little bit white out of turn 9 and right up alongside if now comes Albuquerque past him goes Albuquerque can he get the line on the outside there yes he can moves across takes the place so Zemke re now has to go defensive to keep at bay Christopher Mies Ferrari try to get past the Lamborghini of Rosina that's another car or something dropping away during this dent and what's happening to louder he's still 12 part of that leading group he's not yet come in bottles and car bottles was talking about maybe bringing in early and changing the strategy but louder is quicker than Greg forty so they need to try and maximize louder as much as they can it may of course be car issue of a louder issue just had also into the pit lane the Black Falcon Pro Cup Mercedes started by Frankie Chang and that car which was second there it is just leaving the pits you can see on the far side of the screen that's leaving the pit lane also got a lap down damage on the back of Henri cheese car now having found a way past Christopher me so Mark Henry she has gained a base he's up now into eighth spot Christopher meats dropped down to ninth actually have enough to see what that does for the championship now significantly not only is it an overall phase change as a pace change in class as well Crysta police tries to fight back because at the roads am pierre he makes his move against the Lamborghini Ferrari goes through Daniels empty areas gone by them he's done it up into six pace goes the Kessel racing Ferrari the head of the Lamborghini and there is bosch liners still staring at the back of Marco Bonanomi car [Music] yeah we'll turn nine they come before it is the Stefano machine of Lamborghini now trying to fend off our 10 or Ichi the marque putting in another good stitch here this what we saw the first third of the race at the Nurburgring feeling pretty feisty when the dark bits some circuits work really well for forces others less so mark said to the yesterday I'm not sure this is a Porsche circuit well if that is the case he's doing a very good job bringing this car into contention Ron Paul with past liners staring at the back of Marco Bonanomi who once again is staring at the back of Christopher meat as in now comes Stefan Rosina the Lamborghini pit from relatively early so he's done 50 minutes and I would imagine that what you're mentioning for a shortish middle stin and then Peter got to bring it home so we'll see how pans rights and strategy pans out here as he comes to the end of the pit lane take over it he gets definite Cena made his name really in the Porsche Supercup the Slovakian racer is based in Oxford for a time he was studying these days very much an international racing driver closed at the door job done and Peter cortices become something of a expert in making that bikinis go quickly in recent seasons and do the last stint you see the potential winning car not sure given how strongly the number 7 McLaren is go just look in the background great those clouds are yet deposited any more rain onto the track time for new tires and again slits of God's will the brake dust comes off the corner and the way the tire stopped work remember just two mechanics one to carry and fit the other to use the air gun take away a lot and run to the next corner and there look in the background coming in is 52 and that is going to be contrary to what we were told initially we commerson to give way to doing map heels Alessandra peered we D will do the third step so doing that feels now gets on board the car they do the last-minute shuffle honest feels strapped in ready to go more and more pit stop cycling through question is going to be how long the bat-line ders stay out for in the BMW the team tell me to be careful that you don't go over and above the maximum allowance which is 70 minutes ago 75 is a safety car period the MW vs. Audi still and bass line as try as he might can't find a way past Bonanomi who is defending ever more vigorously now over the timing line they come this is for ninth and tenth on track up towards turn one but BMW on the outside and one or two more spots of rain on the windscreen possibly there towards turn to then turn for either happen is there a gap on me inside for fast line ders yes he goes for it easy alongside yes he is he's on the curb he's going to go through that line as forties Bonanomi out why but he's darling he has a really cool future at he's paid off a long long last batch liners gets past the Audi and all that was teed up coming out of the last corner took a long long time to execute the fast liners are done it he's got past and that really is what he's needed to do stint now Bonanomi is under pressure from mathias lauda there's 41 which is the Robert Lisa Maui trying to keep out of the way the gentlemen trophy champion elect effectively Robert him and Pierre Hershey they've had a variety of co-drivers over the season it's gonna be just those two there is the race leader Alvaro current with Nick over doc not that far behind him is he coming up over the timing by the two McLaren still running together through they go there are apparently eating the way over Hector's McLaren looking very strong indeed at the moment it's McLaren McLaren with the moment hexxus ahead of boots and Jinny on the top to McLaren third shelf racing McLaren for a our team and then the best non McLaren now do you had a Ferrari for the team wrt so-called spoiler car the pearl energy for the weekend Filipe Albuquerque in fifth place this is bass liners into the pits crossing the white line has to get to the pit lane speed limit and bring that car Midway on the pit lane where mechanics are ready and Marquez palette alert will get onboard the car stops council already they operate these always to try and keep the team our town for the last stint though bat-line ders finally got past the Audi but on his in lap so all that hard work and then he had to come into the pit lane championship wires of course this car McCaffrey will drop down in fact number two Audi's in as well so having lost its place Marco Bonanomi spark comes in and they're gonna put french dip into the car number one then still circulates Christopher Meese they long issue first entry his way to Chris Bassitt new tires going on the BMW our work this with mechanics [Music] wheels and tires very very heavy they're going to run around each corner do it as quickly as they can teams do frenzies pit stops century these days gaining success is blasting up the pit lane there goes the number three BMW back into the race now and in fact on the pit stop the Audi has got back ahead there you can see them about to come out of the pit exit lane and the number two Audi look toward them yes number two out he's got back ahead French Nicolas number six car goes through and there you can see mock-up on a noemi's car which he's now handed over to Edwin Sandstrom back ahead of the BMW so after all bat lined as hard work it was a better pit stop for the Audi team they've done the pit stop faster and number two is back ahead once again so now among capela he's gonna have to try to find a way past Edward sounds from French diplomat take over sick to the middle stick often to colleges so call that wrong we're gonna for this dint have power tiller trying to find a way past Edward Sandstrom so you got the Swede ahead of the thin here that's lined us a quick chat as you saw with Maxine Martin will tell them exactly what the car is like and what the is like ready for his stint they're gonna be frustrated of course because that Audi is back after the BMW once more now this alvaro correct running wide over the curve is the leading car by McLaren how much longer is he gonna stay out for and indeed who do they put him next I would imagine it's gonna be Steph düsseldorf next and they'll keep Fred Makani key for the last stint and see how much curb our borrowing rent is using how much road he's using he tries to distance himself once more from Nick over doc Ranma Hibiki fastest of qualifying on a lighter fuel load our apparatus quickly cubed to slightly heavier fuel load Steph tousled walk you know he's quick but he's always pickin to the other two so I would imagine that put him in the middle and Fred MacCabe will be there for that last stint and teams will say these days if lost well if you really have to have your fastest driver in the laughs did in case of a safety car period can't do it any other way that's why for example mark PDS back team our town he's always a little reserved until the last sting of the race into the pits again as Mark Henry Chi and so that's another place temporarily game for the number one Audi henna Ricci I would imagine will give waiters a PA marcin the way they do it there Marc Goossens for the last hour [Music] as the pro speed porsche into the pit lane team is ready for its pros meat run by Rudi Pender's the Belgian Porsche dealer and the car stops on the way fuel tires driver and reaching out passing in and also coming up the pit lane he's number 43 power delay you can see which is started by shower armed ma one of the drivers about car this weekend Avraham tombe racing Patrick tanto your TT on out and driver now you're riding with markers pal - luck ahead is Rob Bell and that's it because they are on different laps now Rob valve is still third but the pits got means that the BMW is going back down now GABA but the number 18 Pro Cup Mercedes has got some bodywork damaged and he's been walked by the scrutineers keep an eye - now that we've got an e-commerce in' out of 52 louima fields confirmed as being in the car what progress will that make him throw out there's a number seven race leading McLaren still we've got 75 Porsche just leaving the pit lane so now all things start to shuffle as we get into these pit stops but up front we still got from McLaren one two three four X's ahead of groups in génial ahead of Gulf racing ahead of a RT Christopher Mises he come in this time no one more that we're getting the other side of the our mark which i think is properly to where they've got the number to Bonanomi to Sandstrom pitstop out of the way number six has been in of course Filipe Albuquerque staying the wheel of its give way yet to rank stipler he does seen the Jack Gerber Ferrari go lap down enthusiastic South Africa Durbin who had a big accident here last year he's bounced back from back and Jack gets quicker and quicker all the time Marco giochi with him we know how fast Marco is he'll be one to watch Eagles behind the wheel of that car again different drivers different attitude that car seems to have depending on the page to the man behind the wheel [Music] as Henry cheese car is in the hands of Savio Marcin it is about to drop a lap against number five because the docs staying out but of course malson doesn't want to lose out we can have to the past of the donk well into his stint this is an outlet for the game I'll stand behind you there you can see Andrew Smith in the Acurio coffe BMW was into the pits company de selva laforet comes in at the end of lap 36 it will be so any comes [Music] he's going to stay out so the number five McLaren will in hurry believe this time into the pit box comes Alvaro parade there it is Steff düsseldorf is going to take the car over so good job done Portuguese actor for around 3.5 and former three champion Alvaro correct snow pistol dwarf remember double winner here in the gt1 well championship rounds back in the early part of the earth with Fred Marco he will take over Fred McAfee for the last stint so that gives you Nick over doc because the leader Rob Bell is in as well to give way to Mike Wainwright that of course the way they operate just two times in that car is really the last we're going to see a flop out which is a shame I'm playing right now has to do really the rest of the race and so the cars going to drop back a bit so there you can see in happening in the background the pit stop Rob Bell walked away his work done but Mike Wainwright who as I said early on has got faster over the season he's not as quick as Rob Bell said that comes gonna drop away on the phrase now within pro-am as the new tires come out for it the new tires are they're also on the number seven McLaren which drops down and away it goes depth of support blasts up the pit lane the pit out end so they don't have too much of the pit lane to worry about driving up on the limiter across the white line and now the car can pick up pace you see the white line on the track that is what people were being penalized for driving over with in earlier sessions you cannot do it so number seven on the pit stops it stay ahead of the number 5 McLaren we won't know until the Coburn on pit it should do give them a gap between them like Wainwright of the Gulf racing car is just leaving the pit lane now that will drop down at 52 concealer with Mac heels striving to gain places in the pro-am Cup competition there's Mike Wainwright then in the Gulf Racing McLaren again and have a strong effort done by Rob belt just the one car this week and the other one is the regular rail Gerta Stewart more car not here brogurt on family duty this weekend rather than racing we're getting news that the Pro Cup Frankie Chang Mercedes and car 80 which is the Jaguar have had a clash and the incident is under investigation the bodywork damage on the Mercedes was being observed as well as they even see vena 15 McLaren in which is the pro-am class car that is now xx page you're on teary having bought the car in Steve Mercedes non-ending with body where damage but also an incident under investigation the Stewart's have to be too busy certainly not compared to the Nurburgring this weekend thus far is that about to change now do with another weather object alien the elements in the pit lane is it going to stay dry or is this rain that everyone is predicting actually going to arrive some people are saying to give a strike is about four o'clock and we're half an hour away from that local time so it might be that teams are going to get a bit wet soon keep an eye on to it we'll see what happens is you have Savio Marcin ahead of Edward sounds from now so that means that the poor should have stayed ahead of the out of your pit stops and this currently is the race needing car Nick over donk doing a strong job bear in mind that the number five McLaren as Andy su check and so are Hamburg as the other two drivers and the sous-chef has never raced a GT car before and so Alan Berg is heated car as well are they going to split this up and the sous-chef proved to be quicker than amber in qualifying so but it makes sense the bullseye Lamberg index for a shortish Middle East it certainly came the donkey was doing the lion's share for the BOA Disney staying out for another lap he comes up over the line can't be more than 70 minutes so he comes up with the timing line Nick over doc Victoria's here last year with Michelle Bartlett of Frank Kepler was in the days of beautiful one Ferrari now in the McLaren been a frustrating season for him but Nick over doc pace is still there number three not BDS BMW markets counselor 18th and Gregoire to miss DA's in which saw an NGO strongly earlier he has just come in to give way to the class pole winner Duncan's happy [Music] and you go the don't continues to lead as he heads up now towards turn six incidentally mathias lauda is still staying out he's still dropping away from the leading group he's now over half a minute behind the race leader bomb to the Vita for one BMW was going early on in the race not anymore and there is big driving one of the Ferraris now bat mother look if it could be one of the least good or a Victorian car is it 38 yep Danny candy the Paraguayan that's got big big drama as you can see on the left rear corner ooh fatties made a pit stop so it's Jodi fan into the wheel of the Scuderia Victoria entry Jovi fan in who is this year's British GT GT poor class champion racing at this level for the first time and how has that happened is that a breakage or is that contact so JD Fannin trying to limp the car round to the pit lane Joanie who came out of janessa junior racy to British GT with Warren Hughes from whom he's learned a huge amount in a pretty big stage to launch him onto this weekend but he was going strong me in the earlier sessions that that car with dramas the limping back to the pit lane right this is what happens let's have a look he comes up towards turn three is that a loose wheel that just sort of fold itself underneath the car it looks yeah either a loose wheel that wasn't tightened up or something is broken to make the wheel loose in the meantime in together cam Albuquerque and Sam Fieri see Kevin s been out of the pit lane as well with the white quality Ferrar it right out get Albuquerque and now Frank Tipler folds himself up clambers into the car a German driver who is busy at historic racing as well these days without promos and he types on board the car now is he gonna be near the McLaren but gap between them was a fairly wide one early yeah it's gonna be a big gap isn't it because they still got to do the time change yeah you can't do the tires what you're refueling so now and only now does it go off on the jacks and the number seven McLaren comes over the line say yes it will maintain track position it will maintain the gap over the number six howdy that was really a major factor against the actors car of course early on renault the big li that Firenze had built up that is not really going to be in jeopardy I don't think on the pitstop and the less hexes are made a bad move somewhere in the pit stops and it's a very good team as we've seen in the gt1 World Championship in terms of pit work away goes Frank Tipler there you can see more of all teams getting ready Castle Racing's still finishing off the tar chased out there again look at how good wrt have been in the pits because Sam Thierry came in right on the tail of Albuquerque and now look at the gap they make their way up the pit lane in the Audi ahead of the Ferrari and by a slightly greater margin and 71 Ferrari now goes the way of the Davidi regal he takes over that car he's back on track now never 71 [Music] the things continued to change all beard we've not yet had number one Christopher Meese in and he still Nick over Dom leading the way [Music] number ten software Ferrara we gather has had a loose a diffuser and now looks loke are coming into the pit lane oh that's a bit risky going all over the grass just before the white line and Jodi Fanning has done a very good job of nursing that car back to the pit with the wheel that clearly does not want to be part of the car that's now he's got to happen to get through and he's birch here to crawl and if he stops in the pitch entry lane that's going to create pandemonium there in his 57 Giacomo Petra barely gets out of the car still clear of course of 52 now Louie Mac heels and 38 well done Jodi Fannin he's within fiqar bag it's lost a lot of time but hopefully they can get that car back into the race I think what's not way to eventually can lose diffusor a bit spotting on one of the software Ferraris Jody Fanning's Ferrari is sort of abandoned itself on the pit apron so the mechanics have to get to it front drag it into its parking spot somehow the new wheels and tires going on to the 57 beetle for one team Italy Ferrari a57 is that sits on stilts the pitlane the Vita for one team in a moment will drop the car down as now you're on board once with markers pal tulip and as he goes over the timing line the way things have panned out we saw him chasing Rob Bell when they were a lap apart now he's chasing Mike Wainwright for position so 11 to 12 they go through and the donk is in this time and Christopher Meese is in as well so the talk to both make pit stops together any of lacquer number 41 there is the number one Audi with Chris Bahasa getting on board the car they've got to change the tires of course once the fuel has gone in closes fermitas Danny's work and this is going to put this car back into the lead of the race isn't it number seven and it is Steph düsseldorf at the wheel of it will go back into the lead of the race Qatar's go into the number one Audi where will that car feedback in relative to this BMW for example and of course 75 the portion that was going strongly not gonna reach you haven't given it over now to Debbie Emerson so Steph düsseldorf leads the way number one back into the race last off the pit lane and number five stays ahead so the number five McLaren stays ahead of the Audi on the pit stops and of course and loses the lead it has gone the way of the Lamberg through the middle stint as predicted so number seven maintains its advantage as number one heads up for pit lane Kristopher me something bought the car in Christopher house takes it out of course and that car is gonna read joy just ahead a French Dip love their looking number six so yes on the pits box number one goes ahead of number six Kalea the Albuquerque was always ahead of Christopher nice and straight away Krista Bahasa arm you cold tires it's a little bit sideways as he tries to fend off his teammate and behind them he was I've been tapping have been taken over now from grégoire de muskie a lot of the job is there on the left watching on he's yet to go he's what he had promised and Tory will do the last stint in car number two smiles from before the moment so the race order currently number seven step düsseldorf leading five Hamburg third is number one Christopher Hauser for you can see the battle between them is branch Tipler fifth is Duncan tapi in the a Artie McClaren sick is the Vinnie rege off number 71 Ferrari they've got 775 SME malsum eight we've had the pit stop loud out foggy in in the BMW mines he's number two Audi Edward Sandstrom and then in 10th place number three partners pal tiller in the mark BDS BMW 24 is a car that's rather faded isn't it because you're cementum is currently now down in 12 place having taken over from Rosina and that car not making very much progress from there after all the timing line comes the race of groups and jinney on racing MacLaren's 15 was the first of them is the prime class car which has dropped back after its recent pitstop direct Erie started in that car at mon-sol now he's behind the wheel of it around the outside of the number six howdy goes Duncan tapi so that now puts him up into fourth place Duncan tapi goes through picks up a place and a fraction blur to Christopher Hafsa do needs to be is the other oness and he is ahead of number three secret all three of the wrt Audi's ahead of the number three BMW and the number four BMW is behind all of them and only in 15th place have not really able to contribute very much to help number three within the championship so it's looking pretty good this isn't at the moment for wrt just depends what progress back tmartn can make in that last stint [Music] the Jaguar about to go a lap down further up the road the Emil Frei racing brown car which has got Freddie bath through the middle stint it's out of the way let's parcel through its tappy through stipler through have any read on is also something to drop back a little bit on pit stops so the teepee pedestal pans up you start by Nikki my mouth off just get through the show as tapi is under pressure here look from French diplomat because they come up over the life and there also in that mix is the number 50 lap ferrari market giochi at the wheel whose sole task is to drive as fast as he can for the middle stood before the car goes back to Jack Gerber and Marco giochi 28 he's absolutely storming now he's going to try an out laugh himself which is not gonna be easy early for car yes he's two laps down that's pretty much a forlorn hope all he can do is just drive as fast as he can for the AF Corse a team so third fourth fifth you looking at how's that ahead of Tapia head of stipler and steph düsseldorf leading the way by 39 seconds proms are Lamberg and amber geese know the hustle looks that gaps is gonna grow isn't it in this field stiff the hexes team that won suggest a shoo-in for a bit truer it's any of his asked as surely that he's going to stop them taking the race win here alvaro Firenze has already done the fastest lap of the race over 12 Duncan taffy keeping at bay for the moment fracture plot whoa Santy goes a little bit wide and now sniffler makes the run-up on the inside towards turn 12 and as almost content there is contact and it's the McLaren against bumbled out of the way and stipler didn't get past him so it's the right situation really the McLaren stays ahead of the Audi at French Dip lip trying to make a move didn't quite work for him and now what damage has that done to the McLaren straight away some of the a our team mechanics get on their feet ready to go to the pit apron just in case Duncan tap he needs to bring the car in there's Greg Wilder Mercier looking on very nearly seeing his car Pombal off the road all together but Frank Stifler delayed himself and all of that the buy to fit really and so that means that what led Duncan tapi keep the place but also there Mainieri gone down number 71 is a little bit closer to them savvier Marston is running seventh Sandstrom is running eighth fraud she is running ninth Marcus Paul Taylor is in 10th place [Music] eugenio amell's took over from jack pipette reveille in 57 that car is now running third in pro-am the 52 AF Corse Ferrari is currently running ninth in pro-am so that would mean the visa for one Petra ballot a tamil tabata Cheney would take the carton very nearly seeing his car Parmalat the road all together but Frank Tipler delayed himself and all of that but by tough it really and so that means that what led Duncan tapi keep the place but also there Mainieri gone down number 71 is a little bit closer to them savvier Martin is running seven Sandstrom is running eight frosti is running 9 markers pal teller is in tenth place [Music] eugenio amell's took over from Jack Burkett reveille we are told in 57 that car is now running bird in pro-am the 52 a enforcer Ferrari is currently running ninth in pro-am so that would mean the Vita for one Petra ballet a matsubara Cheney would take the class in the championship if things were to stay as they are and of course part of that was the spin for me commerson within that first in [Music] that's not a 17 Ferrari which yesterday have a steering column breakage the car having been started by Dennis Anderson has now got bossy Jensen but I'm the wheel of it and if he's running a 25th place and there's the fight between Zambia Martin and any wood Sandstrom okay that sounds Trump can really charge on because that has been proved in earlier rounds the championship like moms are like Silverstone and regularly in the smart 24 hours especially last year - when the car was 30-something former grade when he drove a BMW before finished in second place so that Sandstrom he's certainly quick he wants to kill himself up the order he needs to stay behind the number one car to play the team game [Music] so with 1 hour and 42 minutes at the race indeed the season remaining this thing to the stay as they are in class is how we've been looking with Audi taking the champ and get by 10 points from Bart BDS BMW that will be the situation back up 2/3 would count the more 13 Goossens Federici and passing can yet happen would I even at the halfway mark yes now as far as theme situation lower down is concerned the fading BMW of Kepler louder for all she only one point up on Frank Tipler so as the car has dropped faces in the race it's drop faces in the championship as well we know that this middle sit for great poetry isn't gonna be as quick as the last one of Frank Keller that's another card has to keep an eye to to see where that can end up with in the title race but at the moment savvier Martin's grafted in the Porsche running sixth in class and bringing that back into contention 71 on track is to Vinnie rege on you looking at starting to go quicker is the number two Audi Edward Sandstrom I said a moment ago we know he can charge he's just got the girl's best lap of the race Ezri got turning his way on to the pit straight he's on the tail still of French Dip luck at some point they need to get calls for number two car parts number six Dave aw Artie to help that within the championship as well dr. tappy battling with the lap bar Kakashi Ferrari Duncan really could have fought on that in GAO's Bo's rather than get involved in a squabble here let's hear from Greg Rodimus yeah because he did a very good job in the AR team McLaren looking at it now tappy's behind the wheel of it but Greg Wilder mirskiy he's in the pit lane so chilly tailing great that's certainly an impressive scent you had in the McLaren and now it's handed over to Duncan who's healthily involved in a battle with the Ferraris in the Audi's how's he going to get an advantage over them first the goal is to win the platform test so we won't buy too much with the other [Music] which it was good I hope so i stops a special goods and so begin certainly no hex is proved this year in GT one that it is a mclaren track also each time we came here with my client very good titles a castle well do is that everything is therefore thank you on track Savio Marcin this still just fending off Edward Sandstrom so you've got the two of them together and diving at the inside of stipple that goes to Vidya regal but the Audi shaft hands on to its place them as they work their way out of turn 13 that was a good F of made by Reed ombré Frank shipler was able to stand his ground before mock Porsche Supercup champion French Tipler whose race of course this car within the FIA gt1 World Championship this season sees regular car that he shares with Oliver Jarvis JA Gavin the Darlington gravel it comes over the timing lines still ahead of the Ferrari so on track we've now got a McLaren won two out III McLaren for Audi Pfeifer re six Porsche 7 Audi a8 BMW nine BMW ten but his pal tiller is he catching bred for she let's have a look there just got over the line yes Marquez pal tiller there he is very definitely closing on grey frosti the reigning champ to remember Greg X Audi driver who is this year switched to BMW my grateful tree what the spa 24 hours last year really helped you to that five his ex from a Timo Scheider in the gas daily they shared with him and took points at the end of the race and at the 12 hour mark longshadow was struggle have been in the BMW this year so he needs to try and hang on to a decent place on the top 10 and then Frank Keller can be released into the last in always this appetizing prospect to keeping the faster drivers in reserve for lasting wiper on now is that because we getting spots of rain all that is cause he's got the stalk number four is Bobby Moser at the wheel of the mark VDS second BMW and he's on the tail of Oliver Morley the car started by Steve yawns remember now with in pro-am it is beter for one set to take the championship if things stand as they are ten points up on that prediction from Thomason and Nikhil's so that's spin early on the block' of course the Ferrari has done it a power of no good but it would be very strong for the a most wanna Cheney Petra Bailey combination of drivers what about soft robes bad a public and gorilla still 10 points back from the AF Corse a car so even though they're a bit of a long shot the runners-up spot is not heading their way there's Jack number pet rebellion here is the camera the tower around is that hello Jack mote the Italian who lives in London and done the first stint in this car 57 Ferrari lower down in the championship Luis Tiant athlete was beset 58.6 up on ski belt was an acid the harrybo porsche TV just got eclipsed all on that caption not here this weekend although they've been running fairly strongly in the past that's a team missing the round that is the AF Corse a Ferrari that I've been talking about e-commerce and spun it knowing that heals is now behind the wheel but the third stint will be handled by alessandra PD who is a very very quick Italian driver indeed both in terms of his single-seater ability and his tutti ability so this will be a car for sure that will come back out the order is currently running in 20th overall what's the other fast nation about the class situation both Pro and Pro Am is that you've got the cars but don't regularly wind in these tiles is going so strongly in this last round so for example number 12 a RT McLaren way out front at the moment ahead of the gulf race in McLaren that's in program in the Pro Cup you've got the hexes car that we've not seen all seats in the head of the much-improved put some genial car so again they're taking points away from those that are fighting for the championship towards us comes the JB motorsport now D Ambridge to having started and now and Stan gurus behind the wheel to know there's people in the pit lane as the racial becomes across the screen McLaren won two out a three at the moment Christopher Haase is still being able to stay pretty much in touch other sundry opa breathing you saw watching his car there it is 52 who we map feels looking for a way past jean-luc boboli the battle on screen is for 19th and 20th overall but it's a class position so if this switch is round it's more points 452 doing that heals needs to get on with a job here as the leader staff düsseldorf working his way through the traffic at the counter this car was built up thanks to our parents is a massive one it's looking very very good for that car now very really only a mechanical drama is that going to be present it is out of turn 15 over the timing line that must episode or is the end of lap number 50 and as he heads up towards turn three still waiting the second place car had come over the line so czar Lamberg who to be fair GT rookie he's not doing a bad job but he's a long long way back he needs a safety car at the last dip really to throw people a lifeline massive gap at Hamburg in turn is being caught by Chris Bowser now this BMW fight is 9th and 10th overall Greg Vaughan she's still ahead of Marquez pal tiller Japs had the second-place car going blind it's 45 seconds between the top two and the gap is just length between Amburg and houses second and third now what compels for the Duke about the BMW ahead of it as they make their way up to all the timing line both the BMWs have been struggling for top-end speed there's the bodywork flapping portion of Derby a master putting a lap on seventeen martinson's ferrari the insight racing car and marcin in turn he's being able to fend off edward Sandstrom who nips up the inside of the sometimes and Allah knows what Ferrari came to place the girls dropped downhill sounds to me certainly pushing car that's for sure there's ova Marcin have a turn six running in seventh spot still Marquez pal tulip in number three is down in 10th place at the number one Audi runs third although BDS was a little bit grumpy early in the week but there was a third outing it doesn't take away the fact that that car is struggling for patience but a lot of traffic to make a way through irrespective of the third Audi it would still have to gain up more places to have any chance whatsoever of winning the championship there's a be a marsuit in the Porsche running sixth in class and seven play wall and with Sandstrom right up behind him because what their way down now towards turn 12 second gear sorry points and squirt end to the lap and a slow out of your head that was the Erik Quinn 12 car had a spinning qualify there it is the white out he just up the road that's going to be taken over next by Adrian tombe ready through small step dozen books advantage continues to grow still looking very very strong in the leading Clark there is advantage 45 45 second was to take last time true perhaps his team looking pretty chapped about life there is düsseldorf working his way around the end of a lack having been now towards 2:13 accelerate once more the very very tight very slow last corner this to rattle off that 52 [Music] over the timing line comes the leading car behind look you've got the battle for second in pro-am side-by-side Mercedes and McLaren it's Oliver Morley versus might Wainwright and all of them all he goes through on the inside winner in the Nurburgring - he's taken second in pro-am away from Mike Wainwright and they're behind there is Eugenio a moss and of course a moss in the red and black Ferrari there he's looking to win the class in the championship so they want another place away from the McLaren on track he's another driver thinking about to an extent how many risks he can afford to take he looked on the inside line this way - right give him racing room it doesn't have to it's a genuine battle for position this but you genuine most lines up on the inside is he going to go through it's hard to overtake it turn six it's narrow it ties me can't do it to turn eight it's another slow Court actually puts you on to this long straight now down Awards turn nine up to 216 come on as an hour of a straight line here look at the way the Mercedes is get the McLaren and what does Hamels do now he moves to the inside line like Wainwright checks his mirrors he sees the Ferrari coming they go side by side to the corner and the Ferrari goes through third in class now and that's even better for the championship you Chaney almost them looks as though if the class stays out of trouble he's going to bring the prime cut class title the way tour visa for one team Italy of him Alessandra Paula Cheney and jackhammer Petra Valley whom has done hold it can do this season now Giacomo just sitting in the pit bunker biting his nails getting darker here at Navarro getting a bit gloomy our overhead and the rain that was expected for four o'clock would be two minutes away if it's getting a ride bang on cue this is for second place on track sir Lambert ahead of Christopher Hauser and the two of them running together nose to tail now this is another reason why the lead gap is growing because Hamburg is busy defending the fair place with the first time we've seen him in the car this year and he's doing what he can to maintain second place and he's not put a wheel wrong under huge pressure from a former gt3 champion don't forget as now Howser looks to the inside line going down towards turn 13 second gear sharp right back on the power speed building turned 14 King flat down 185 kilometers fourth gear hard on the brake down to the box second gear corner for some back on the power now there's the best we've seen all season for boots and shooting on racy over the line now comes our amber and remember any sewer check very quick Spanish drivers going to take that car over for the last stint over the line Jose the number one Audi last lap was not quite as quick as Amberg and then behind them look joining in the mix as well is Duncan tapi who said after qualifying this morning that he was thinking an overall podium was realistic not just a class whim well he's on target for a class win currently he one place away from a podium we've got to the halfway mark wrt would take the teams title its drivers the drivers championship the car won if things stay as they are house in the midst of all of this the Vinnie rege on getting on he's still on the Taylor French Dip most difficult are still on the back of tapi look at these long long queue second the way back to sick coming down towards now turn number nine Hamburg to make the point again you into the car and doing a great job of defending Hamburg Bernie's ahead of Hauser and then its tappy stipler and regal heading up now at the end of lap 54 and it continues to look gloomy overhead as the Salish rain is forecast at four o'clock it is four o'clock now so is it about to start to get wet we've already had a little bit of rain early on spinner on the rain affected seas and bear in mind how wet it was at the start at the races at Monza and at Silverstone we have plenty of it at spa somehow we got away with a dry race at the Nurburgring even spots of rain on the grid at Paul Ricard despite it being a really hot and sunny weekend we've got the ops bottle too just before the race started now we've had rain already to a limited degree within this last round of the profound series Duncan tapping T winds near this great job British Formula Renault champion for before champion before him having taken this change of part away from being a single seater racing now to try to watch a GT career is not a really good job this year was on the podium at the Nurburgring last time out despite suffering for a really really bad food poisoning but the blading below for the bulk of the weekend so he did a very good job they're not in the best of health as he said to me this morning I've kept away from the fish all weekend so certainly it's helping he's going quicker than we've seen all year the car is poor overall leading its class and of course started from a class pole position third overall [Music] Dhar lambert hangs on to a second-place mclaren outing affarin LD Ferrari we've got had a Ferrari win all year much to the annoyance of castle rating the only team to have run a pro Cup Ferrari unless there's a real drama for the Hector stuff Aaron it ain't gonna be Ferrari win here either is it because the car is sick yes it's in this battle but it's a long way back from a leading car looking like spar now to look out of the window because the lights are getting ever brighter you think it was heading into the night now it's getting so so gloomy over had here at lovara their second his Hamburg in the McLaren as he worked his way out of 15 over the timing line by Margit all smiles at team wrt hyo-joo Don a one of the two people who runs his team standing in the background appear himself multiple race winner both in terms of GT and touring cars journalist French nibbler fending off Davidi recall for the moment ferrari four five eight using a big bite of curb going through turn two through three now effective gonna happen that the typhus at the three corners then we'll speed builds they drop downhill flat through turn four hundred and seventy five kilometers an hour then and return five hard on the brake down down down through the gears get in the car safely through turn six and climb uphill Amburg still going well also in the ferret Christopher Howser is quicker perhaps than the McLaren driver he's having to be mindful not to take too many risks and we now have rain in the pit lane it's starting to rain three minutes past 4:00 wasn't a bad forecast was it that only three minutes later and so now it's starting to spit with rain and we are effectively 25 minutes away from the end of the next hour when you could anticipate the next round of pit stops for plot thickens see who's going to be good in the West touch on the gentleman trophy but of course llamas Robert issome and Pierre her she finished and they're on target to take the championship the seconds the moments with her she at the wheel behind the JB motorsport pounding of Daniel ruse but that's enough court to take the championship so the judgment records would be good for them as you look at number two Eddie with Sandstrom we still on the tail em Sam ba Marcin and then behind them is Greg froggy when I get back into the mix an incident between 52 AF corse the Ferrari and number 43 Santa malady is now under investigation things potentially could be gained from bad to worse for AF courser of the back heels hommerson p LED Ferrari and his races more flashing of the lights coming over the line was that time from Edward Sandstrom to try and terrorized Abbey Emerson out of the way I'm gonna get out of the way it's a genuine fight the position that there's the champion he left combination of hours of nice animal telling and again now mr. Hauser is right on the tail about Amburg and Duncan tapi seen the right thing here just lagging back a little bit waiting to see what pans out ahead of him if they're going to get physical at the road gets greasy could all play into his hands now with Cristobal how's that he's right on the tail of the McLaren down towards turn nine hard on the brakes second gear McLaren goes a little wide but there's no opportunity for me to get the inside there and now they stormed their way up to turn 11 remember but all the while that Howser is trying to find the way through he's under attack from Duncan tapi house a can't afford to eat the door open because he's in danger of looting faces while all this is going on what news at markers pal tulip he is still running in tenth place and he's rapping in the one when it forces whereas this gaggle lapping in the 139 so he's losing touch with them they come up over the line the leader goes through once again 57 left done five steph düsseldorf happy sandwich between the Audi's the Duncan thinking about his overall podium but of course it's way way clearing clouds running fourth against 13th Oliver Morley how's that goes defensive against Appy as they come over the line and behind them also now should apply having to go defensive to try to fend off their very regal I turn one two and three this early sequence they go big changes in the order does it there yes it does tapi has got through Duncan tap he finds away past a number one out he's done it so Duncan's happy now good for the overall podium but of course he's got to give the car back to Gregoire diversity a for the last int until they've worked it in previous rounds so let's now see where the tapi can get past Amburg whereas Christopher Houser couldn't how's the perhaps being a bit more circumspect thinking about the championship but now Duncan tapi can get stuck in and have a go [Music] I'll do the back straight they come more traffic ahead of them and now Duncan Tammy you can have a look potentially for the inside line under braking is he near enough not quite behind them still is the number one Audi that's going to be secure of course to hand on to that place because behind his number six which is the French Dip locker and that ain't get a challenge but position frustrating Deepika video he got he's got a trial fight away passed both houses it's going to do it himself he can't Pope's at one forces a mistake after the other because that he's not going to happen this is the replay of now the place changed banking tapping storms past the Audi on the outside game through turn two moves across takes the line into turn three good clean pass that McGarry proves that people are wrong where they think you can't overtake around that first sequence of corners granted Christopher Hauser perhaps not making too much of a fight out of it any damage but even so up into third spot Duncan tapi the castle racing team being able to force a smile even though the Vania Regan is still stuck in 6th place and in traffic is the number 15 Edward ball drop McLaren soon to be lapped put the team car I'm sorry Lamberg running in second place there is we got on the tail of sniffler and 36 and had a spin Michael Malik at the wheel of it Michael in his first gt3 race and he's back in the race Scott's in behind Joe Twyman India Korea Coast Guard just picked up the place away from him then up to 25th spot goes Joe Twyman so Michael Malik spin cost him a place two British drivers them Akira across the bar well ramp car B under the DB motors book and also trying to get it on the inside his air and Scott their number 30 having taken over from Craig will kids so the Audi also trying to join that mix as amber he's under pressure from tapi coming out of turn eight and right with him as well as Christopher Houser who lost the place walk to remind people to be speed and he's fighting back as amber defense from tapping who goes one way then the other he goes to the outer cyber car squirms on the break can he go all the way around the outside yes he can wanna move great stuff Duncan tapping right round the outside desperately late on the brakes he's done it great move chappy then now up into second place down to third has gone Hamburg then you've got house ahead of Stifler and Regan is six and taffy having been released from behind the boots and Jenny on racing car starts to pull away great move that by Duncan tapi straightaway there's a gap for next target for Duncan Tapia is to lap the car out of the same team Edward mantra on the way the number 15 who's been a regular in the championship all year running now in the pro-am class so there is tapi for AR t but best we have seen out of that car all season and you've got to say collectively this race is the best we've seen out of the McLaren's all year not just one doing a good stint but across the board all the McLaren's looking like you've pretty mean expect them to look all season but now they're delivering come on drop keeping out of the way so past him has gone tapi past him has gone amber as Anheuser and sniffler will try to get through and he way wide there goes eduard von drop get us out of the way of all of the quicker cars behind him Davila Regan is still for a way to get past French Dip if he can't do it now what's this rain doing we've heard about the spots on the pit lane is it coming to anything there's nobody really with all pipers on for the moment so though it's a mounting to win it they even though it is dark overhead maybe when this rain does come it's gonna come with real force there we can have a sip terry pratchet if in the running fifth Marcus Powell tumor he's still tense now he's lap times a little bit better than those ahead of him for a moment thought it was dependent on traffic of course the PAL tiller last time caused by over a second on Greg Hall she just anther 20 minutes remain of this middle hour of the race our teams now starting to think about bringing drivers in where they can and get the quicker driver in as long as of course they didn't exceed that to mask them stint allows for the very end Mike well within the next eight or nine minutes have the next round of pit stops so the faster driver to do 70 up to the end of the race so Steph düsseldorf in the number seven axis McLaren delete them away from number 12 McLaren of AR T called pre danke Tapia the wheel of it leading the pro-am class and then third and fourth czar Lambert ahead of Nevada Christopher house in the Audi now you can see the sixth base castle racing Ferrari the video recon all of these cars even be mad but as we've seen in previous rounds the balance of performance works out so well whilst they've got themselves together it's really hard to make progress through that traffic although regice not giving up pulls out pulls back in again for my Super League champion looking for a way past Frank Tipler he's not yet able to find a way through again he has a look on the inside up towards turn three can't do it over the line has just gone Marcus Powell Tula and that land was a game quicker he's catching for all she wants a game Edward Sandstrom by the way who is in seventh he's not been quicker than this gaggle ahead of him so the number two Audi is catching up now on to the sixth place Ferrari to Edwards Amstrup number two Dave discs out here he's getting closer without a 71 Ferrari let's have a look at the very bold efforts of Duncan tap you look at the way the car squirm is this how you got second place around the outside hard on the brakes from 216 kilometers down to just over 70 kilometers an hour through that corner round the outside just about a Karl's width to go right round the outside of Zahra Lamberg and give him away the car quivered and squirmed under-braking that was a very good save in a very good pass by Duncan tapi smooth the Rays of it was to do that Bret why Thomas do you froze over that's for sure off the road he's Freddie bath with the Emil Frei Jaguar XK has gone for a spin and that's coming out of turn 13 isn't it near hittin gets going again the Train of cars four to six goes past the background relative to them is Edward sounds true getting shot just yet he is closing but he's not yet close enough to really be part of that group Damini regal is wide on the tail this lap a French Dipper and he pulls out to the outside line heading up towards turn one can he go around the outside there no he can't he's a much much tighter line up on the inside haven't turned to he rides the curve but he can't don't part of the problem there is that they have to laugh at 49 chopped up by surely a Ferrari said the line the gaffer might have been there disappears because they won't have to use that to get past the slower car there is number 20 razandrich verbally who has just got himself past Mike Wainwright to go 21st overall but Trevor Hamm cars and they're being lapped by the pro-am leader Duncan tapping after second in pronoun by the way is now comes him on our 37th in the DB motorsport BMW and third in pro-am number nineteen over the morning can we get him on the podium once again the Union driver this is the overall situation where you've got McLaren McLaren McLaren the top three perhaps his car ahead of the AR T car ahead of the bridge in your entry then fourth and fifth two of the three team wrt nowadays and sick number 71 the castle racing Ferrari seventh place is number two Edward sounds from his team wrt now D eighth is the Porsche which doesn't really make progress in this ditch sub game Aston ahead still great quality and that only in 10th place these markers palatal up are we seeing a championship disappearing from mark BDS even though the team from two wins and remember maximum points at the six-hour mark in this car 24 hours a notional third win if you like lower down dropped a lap within the overall classification Davidian Rico very nearly drop a lot gay towards turn 15 he went really wide going into the corner coming up over the line now the number six out he powers over the timing line he's up a long side number one and rege on its gonna get past all of them and as they dive up towards turn one number one has kept his place but Regan has finally got ahead we get reports of more rain around the circuit now so the rain is certainly coming but to recap tavini regan has now put himself up ahead Oh French did them but Christopher house was kept his pace and now with the road getting wetter they've also got more traffic to work away through wipers are on this section of the circuit is properly wet and slippery now sideways there is Edward vom drop as he is lapped by French Dip luck so sniffler drops back behind regal but how's that fends them all off what happened it all of that was that house I had to get past dipper who was ahead of him over the timing line had to retake that place and then she Diplo also had to make sure that he didn't get caught up in the battle with the Ferrari the fact that number six has dropped away by a couple of places isn't the end of the world significantly it's ahead of number three still there's only Jarvis gets ready to take over from diplom as up on the inside officer Lambert goes Christopher Hauser Hamburg struggling in the web because recon has got past him as well and now the circuit is getting more and more treacherous we are 13 minutes away from the end of this second hour when you'd expect people to come into the pit lane so can they tiptoe around on slicks they still go to work they still have enough temperature to work as another place is lost by so a lamb burgers now Stifler goes up on the inside slippery surface flag being shown the drivers know exactly why because now this rain that has come he's making the road slippery so tell lamb burgers lost a whole heap of places on that lap as he tiptoes round so the drivers though they walked me in and going on to wet tires cannot do so just yet partly because the select is still gonna have some temperature and still work but the maximum as I said earlier that the third driver could do is seventy minutes and therefore the moment those 72 minutes the race remaining if they put them in now and they would go the wrong side of the maximum allowed they can't afford to do that so as the rain increases they've got a tiptoe around for one baby to bore lands to be on the safe side and these slick tires although they're not going to be working as well will still work to a degree because of the temperature that's been built up in them maybe ding amber tiptoeing round now we're on lap number 64 the race leader was still number 7 Stef distilled or been the hexxus McLaren the wiper is on as Christopher Hauser sees Devaney recon working his way through traffic now since it started to rain reguard has been the real hero he could look at this the Ferrari up into third place remember a few laps ago I was talking about it being sick stood on the back of the queue are not making progress well with the Audi's not wanting to make a real fight out of it and also the McLaren also Lambert struggling in the webdive in Erie Khan is up into third spot now and gaining ground and lots of people really struggling for traction in the background [Music] expect pit stops this time around the teams are ready for driver changes but is it quite enough yet to go onto wet tires we'll see when we get to the pit stops themselves certain parts the circuit look bad others less so there's number one running fourth Chris father died of his French Dip luck Davina Rigobert up into third place now put it away from them making good ground in V Ferrari closing on Duncan tapi who understandably doesn't want to drop the McLaren off the road and risk everything they've achieved thus far so we are at 17 minutes and 30 seconds now we're going to get people in this time though they're going to give it one more that they may be but of course go to the actual our market sells one card has just come in which is 57 Eugenio mas that will put the car down the hands of an Assad rubato Cheney and remember that's on target to win pro-am in the championship it's going to lose places while the pit stops now cycle through but still looking very very good for that squad the seventy minutes remaining there is the 57 pick Scott tires going on now other going onto slips or wax we didn't get a chance to look but still be good enough to go on to select let's see what they've got in their hand like slick tires yeah so it's still slicked it's not wet enough yet to risk going on to wet tires because if the rain doesn't come in anymore volume you're just going to chew them up but is there a problem on the left rear corner something has dropped out the wet tire there of something looks like it may have got run in the back of the car this may well need investigation slips oh and the cars going to its garage the cars going to go to its garage this is big big drama in the championship it's been running so strongly and seemingly now the beetle Paul one clubs gonna have to drop down on twisty ground on the jacked there and winning back into the garage they found something in the left rear Torre's off the road as gonzo Lambo he's back on the game at the BIA leader for one team Italy rather pick garage he's now the scene of real drama that's where Haley is going to be heading no doubt as they try and get to the bottom of this problem and I'll be looking at another championship drifting away from a team we pick Martin bts's in strife as far as winning in the Pro Cup is concerned now possibly after all they've done such a great job race is it going away not a feature for one but on that car are they F course of the black Ferrari is it something in the suspension let's see were they on the same lap those cars they were and so now car 52 tape to the place what are they doing with the other tires they've had slipped on are they going to go to wet are they going to give each corner a check see them talk about the same issue it breaks [Music] a team is hard at work this is not looking good as far as the championship is concerned after a very good race was no real evidence of the car struggling air brake disc comes off so there's no real evidence the car struggling in that state all of a sudden at the pit stops it goes horribly wrong if they discover a problem 52 Chloe Macchio still tiptoeing around the first part of that getting very wet indeed [Music] off the road is number 20 Ferrari which is the software car of jean-luc boba leaked out of the pro app class and that's live it off the road you can see now exactly how heavy the rain is that is wet for definite if it's like that all the way around the lap it's got to be wet now the Vita for one team the wheel has been damaged they don't know why so they're checking not suspecting the wheel arch to see whether there's something that's caused the damage in the car rather than just wear and tear out of the circuit and out of the circuit now it is very wet and it is very horrible and 57 is still in the pit lane so now it's looking very very good for AF corse are especially with the fastest driver in that car to get into the car for PA greedy howdy ready the waxing Ares well so which one is going to be in first we'll see in a second or two Steph doesn't still tiptoeing around and leading Carver's number one Christopher Houser so wet tires are ready [Music] they all come pouring in this time at 466 minute mark to help queue of cars coming in so you've got for sure Mercedes all of the more you can see the per Sadie's comes in this time Duncan tapi goes a little bit wide turn 15 at the inside there tries to go Christopher Hauser both of them staying out for another lap the video regal has come over the line up into second place now having got past happy have pulled away from your ego he's excelling in these conditions during third place goes to happy through fourth place coach Hauser stipler is in so the number six howdy has come in frosh he is in and also now number three has pitted to give way to Maxine Martin so drivers making pit stops [Music] there's like an tapi in the meantime so for a moment number one is staying out there Christopher Hauser why have they not brought him in are they waiting to see whether it goes fully wet for a change to wet tires is it because they don't want all the cars in the pit lane at the same time they brought six in the last time by keeping him out there as I mentioned a moment or two ago Maxime our town has taken over the BMW because it's coming for its last pit stop edging the tire change now to that car again drop down the automata to the pit lane so a Lamborghini number five as well as I can't tap he runs a little bit wide this time but also a fairly long stint by Christopher nice wasn't it said they need to make sure that the minimum time is done in the car by Hauser in this middle stint stipler handing over to Jarvis goes up the pit lane a little more Diaz handed a car over number 19 to say he's Sean Edwards that goes up a pit lane and Alessandro PA Guidi sets off into the race now potentially to bring the pro-am title all of a sudden to AF corse and rather than Peter for one for who business looking a shoe in a few laps ago now lots of team managers are being summoned to the race director none of which are affecting the leading situation for both those Maxine Martin out on track but number one Audi is going to pit this time as also in comes duncan tapi so Christopher Howser will come in to give way to Stefan Ortelli and for the last what have we got our of four minutes of the race it's going to be wet when you get wetter will it get drier are we gonna see people have to come in again for tires if conditions improve of course the race leader has yet to come in staff düsseldorf has yet to serve his minimum driving time for that his way to Fred McAfee King and the safety car is on standby I'm told now is that for the weather conditions rather than for car off the road he's been declared a wet race which normally means it's up to the teams to manage the tires and for the drivers to manage the throttle against the wet road or tele into number one safety car ensconced and bike the timing screen you for the pitlane truck just raid its halyard pack the veil suffering down there so there's another three BMW we've seen Martin at the wheel so where does this put him against the number one now the rejoining now maxi martyr will be closer but he's not yet at the end of the lap and we do get the safety car on track we do get the safety car and that's going to help the number three BMW is nickel it's gonna bring it nearer to the number one Audi there is the safety car and it's going to collect not the race leader it's going to collect a line of cars near the head of which with a number one Audi and therefore maxi Martin is going to be much much closer to that car and the leader is in the leader has come into the pit lane for a düsseldorf to give way to Fred nakamichi there he is and how is this going to affect them on the safety car situation we'll see as they work their way around the next lap can the McLaren get out or is it going to be trapped in the pit lane before the cars come round again this may have just gone against the leading car we'll wait and see pit stop is being undertaken now but that car is still in the pit lane as the safety car has picked up everybody else [Music] so there's the car but led when it came in Steff düsseldorf was given away to the pole man Fred MacCabe key a wet tires are brought out for that car now there is the safety car if the McLaren is allowed out before the crocodile gets round the lap then it's all good if it's held there until the crocodile has gone past there in big big stride the car has dropped down a Ferrari has arrived ahead of it if you can see the number 10 soft red carpet delayed it just a little bit now all the pit lane lights on red or is it going to be allowed out it's allowed out girls are still making their way out the pit lane so it's okay that car will keep its race lead and will join in at the back of the proper duct and be there for the best part of a man's ahead of the opposition now 71 Davidian Rico has yet to serve his second pit stop as he not because that car was started by Daniel Sam Gary and say yes definitely - so is Julian for the last into half dollars yet to come in so safety car then is on track 49 which will the last stint in the race the way of number two Audi has just come in and it sounds true if the positions at the end of the next lap if at all rather dependent now on who was wearing the key behind the safety car I think hexes have got away with it as team wanted in other words not being impeded in the pit lane and therefore it can be any bigger leave if they will join the back of this queue of cars Longway clear about half a lap up anyway they're gonna be dealing full backup on the opposition potentially the end of the next lap number two Audi is just leaving the pit lane the Edward Sam syrup car which will now go the way of rolls then tour and is he going to get out in time let's just have a look at this yes he is there's the Audi and there in the background look is the safety car is this purely for the rail I can't see anybody off the road I had a report of anybody off the road with the rain having fallen heavily the race director is called the safety car that surprises me because it's not that bad it's big bad yes but it's not bouncing off the road like it was it's par for example though your honor beer so the field goes through it is number seven leading the way now with friend record making at the wheel the safety car told from the media center is because of the state of the track brakes director that decided that because it's hailing it's a part of too dangerous to let the cars continue under natural conditions so the race neutralized on safety grounds just for the moment so at the moment it is the number seven McLaren leading the way by effectively a lap over number two Audi but that of course is still not to do it after its pit stop they in third place number 70 wounded in LA dodging into the stock boys market there's Jack Gerber ready to take over so Ferrari third he yet to making second pitch got fourth is the number one Audi fifth riding shotgun is number six and six is number three which is the powerful and now Maxine Martin car the safety car letting the field go through sir to pick out the race leader pick up the race leader he's preferred the race director is electing to do that ready for the restart so everybody's being allowed through and then it will pick up car number 7 and so on the restart will have if you like the right order they've already queued up behind the race leader went ours going on projector the safety car which has now got Fred McKinney behind we're in the queue is everybody else where's the second or third place car or looking for the opposition this potentially that will bring the gap down waiting traffic usually the safety car to close on to the McLaren so the big margin that had been extended is going to be reduced and also he's going to take a lap or two to get everybody back into formation you can see because people have been released or behind the safety guards and some large gaps around circuits between pockets of cars so what have we got 58 minutes to go 69 laps done safety car on track time psycho news from the pit lane is of a jammed wheel nuts on the 57 Ferrari some of the damaged Paul's that was being attended to the car was just left the pit lane in fact 57 we've gotta Cheney at the wheel of its but it has now done 63 laps and 52 was down to 68 unless 52 retires championships over for that car you're looking at so he is on track but as I say five laps behind its a forlorn hope they're just going to keep going I'd hope that other people fall off the road ahead of them and a Sandra Pierre beanie can be fairly fiery but he knows the job that he's got to do and so after a dominant class leader liad five lap deficit now it's not going to be done is it bitter disappointment for Peter for one team Italy after a really good rating a good season two [Music] mark VDS another team staring a defeat in the face although although forth now is number one and six now is number three so in other words the gap is reduced between them for me out he would be having 11 points for the BMW it six it would be a hundred and seven points but the gap is down between them so can now at t Martin live up to his bill matter of being this real star term the CEO already is the secret weapon once he's released the car just charges up the order well he's gonna have to really drive it like never before you can see the way the drivers are weaving around Trump generates a move into the towers ready for the restart the restart will be a few laps away at a forest we're still waiting for some of the cars to catch the cube including 71 Ferrari was just got across the line way back goes Ortelli through goes I've seen Martin and between the pair of them between numbers 1 & 3 is the number 6 Audi Nevada pajamas so Bekasi Mart I was going to face the same problem but other BMW drivers have faced in this race that sort of work through traffic and there is some of the astroturf that's been lifting on the last corner and the Marshalls in some cases trying to stick it down in a those rip it up and get it out of the way pro-am standings at the moment number 12 leading the way Greg Wilder musty 8 ahead of the number 37 BMW of similar Kannapolis come into contention that's what to do a second pit stop though third in the class is 51 with Giuseppe Jiro at the wheel and then fourth in the class the number 19 for Sadie short Eddie was that's pretty one to watch fifth in the class is 34 which dumpy the saw the porter I could say the hands bastard belt was and Julia Drayton 15 McLaren this big lead there in the number 12 McLaren it's all yellow flags wave number 1 Audi a2 Audi and there is quite a big gap still a lot of between the number six are we another free map team Marta you've got some of the cars not going quickly enough it's 2012 there look that she's put it gear in the gentleman trophy class-leading car was being encouraged to go quicker and catch up to those calls already behind the safety car he's not doing so about to be fair safety courage miles I had even of number 71 Ferraris definitely too so there it is that's gone across the line Gattuso is a quick driver of course you are told under the safety car to moderate your speed but look in the background based along a long line of cars coming interview headed by fitted gear close enough to the safety car let's hear though from the race leading team Phillip do mark rounds the hexxus racing team trying to keep dry and also talk to Haley [Music] we can dominate is the clapping and cheering series it must feel good to be here no no it's a good fun it's good friend for all the guys and and for McLaren as well you can see that all the all the car quite quite competitive year but yeah we show said yesterday that we are quite good and quite easy so we'll see India it's quite ashamed what we said to Karen and on the rain but it's racing so we'll see how will you improve the gap now that your safety car is damaged that slightly for you but again it's racing and and we have Markovic in the car Valentin is a brilliant job and we set off as well so I'm confident thank you as the pro-am leading McLaren cheese bread well to miss Kier back behind the wheel of it the lead gap Hayley do that say no you can't prove the gap it was 44 seconds a while ago it's down to eight thanks to the safety car I'm the real beneficiary he's number two because there ons vantur because of when that car pitted rabbeted to the safety car aren't van Tory number two who's in the car there's really been no wear all day is up into second place now out of all of that they need of course to get that car to drop behind number one so when we go back to racing expect a bit more shuffling of the order so the car number one app scores number two therefore it isn't that car hexxus need to be fearful of and the car behind it number 71 is a long way back half a minute back so I don't think the McLaren is going to be caught even with this safety car period because the gaps can be too great for the number 71 Ferrari to make up and the Audi that he's closed it's gonna have to sacrifice its position to help car number one so hexes should be safe team over time it might go the race leading train-of-cars 51 and a half minutes of the season remains I would suggest looking out of the window that it's a little bit better or less bad weather wise and it was a few minutes ago and indeed the safety car is in at the end of this lab safety car is in this time as we have a replay here of the number three BMW and number 12 Gregoire diversity eight spinning the approach to turn eight and that forces behind the safety car so de mis da has a spinning around a bit wide and got it on the wet painted curve and de Mercier rotates gets himself back on at the circuit but of course he has lost places now you're not going to overtake over the safety car you can't really do much about it when the guy head spins out of your way can you so safety cars going to be in this time and that spin has that cost them the class lead no it's not but it's put the 37 BMW right onto their tail so 37 which was your can habits then similar andrew donohue to do the last spin stop to check that synapse still being shown on the screen as being behind the wheel of it I'm going to imagine that the MW is going to be a car that drops away couple may of the last hint in pro-am this is how we're looking now with Thomason and Mathilde set to be the champions ahead of the absent Adria Bertolini and they're behind him Alice porcini and Petra belly this gem will not and the damage on the left rear corner of the car because from five laps means that they are in big big trouble and unless 52 grapes and they're not going to be able to score enough points trophy back at the championship so the safety car will be in this time behind a moss quano Cheney and Petra belly will be belt bars and acid tying on points with DiMucci a and Tapie who course currently on track lead the class they've done all they can they will have gained a position within the class situation as a result that one has been a great effort by both we have that spin but he's escaped like there's the safety car peels back in so we're just about ready to go racing once again and now as a proper race pace look at the difference between Fred MacCabe he is a pro driver who gets onto the power straightaway and the gentleman races behind because number 10 Ferrari which is the next one in the queue is nowhere as they came out of the last corner Gabriele Balthazar at the wheel of that car holding up everybody else as he comes over the line and in fact losing a place on track wasn't he there because number 42 poor lawn chair got ahead of him I would say even before they got to the timing line so that might take a little bit of explaining so now in the blue in the wet what can we expect out of people in terms of Trading Places the number two Audi's still running second and these are how the Pro Cup points would look with at the moment the Audi team taking just a one-point advantage to win the class in the championship over the number three BMW [Music] so Fred makovicka it is who leads on track [Music] long vantur a second Stephanie tattoos over the number 71 Ferrari is third and there's the number one Audi yes probably going to work his way through traffic Stefan or tell him I Wainwright's McLaren to the latter he's got past next one up the road is the Audi in the hands of Prague Wilkins he should be able to go storming past that car he's in the spray hunting for traction hunting for visibility at the end of the back straight now going down towards turn number nine Ferrari of Gabriele Balthazar runs out wide will tell me sizing his way through traffic that is really really tricky now you're in traffic you're in the wet and there is short Edwards coming up alongside the number 30 Aldi Greg Wilkins back at the wheel of it where Sean Edwards line is 15 boat horn of over to the Mercedes dives up the inside Sean Edwards is going to be one to watch very identity in these conditions now as the Mercedes worked its way through traffic Stefan or telling them heading up towards the confusion burlap on track he's chasing Stefan of Gattuso and KATUSA is going to be gifted a plate inevitably soon by the number two Audi's they try and get car one further up the order [Music] over the timing line goes 71 so the Ferrari is through and that lap is of 54 so he's not actually catching the Audi at the moment I would say the rains getting worse once again in fact now getting darker he's getting wetter so although the race director is let them go are we gonna have the safety car out again if the weather worsens they're all on wet tires no they shouldn't be - I'd imagine anybody was bold enough to stay on selection their cars running off the road they're great Wilkins is one of them and all that plays into the hands of Maxine Martin because he's able to work his way through traffic doesn't affect me to the championship he's not game places at least he's got through some of the traffic [Music] they on board with Martin as he runs wide certain places looking for a little bit more grip which is often the case in wet weather at the moment he's trying to find the extra point that he needs to make a tie on points for the championship if it's a tie it'll be championship to the BMW on a tiebreaker number nine has had a spin by the look of it Mike Wainwright's off the road and the bronze braided drivers trying to get back onto the circuit that is heading down toward turn five isn't it and he's got it wrong at four by the look of it so Mike Wainwright is off the road trying to rejoin yes Maxine Martin somehow needs to get himself past the number six Audi in the hands and there it is of Oliver Jarvis because if you can do that then he'll tie on point with Audi number one and win with a greater number of victories across the course of the season and the gap between them last lap through was coming down soon the interval is but it's next updated on the timing display for the moment car seven of Fred McAfee he leads the way now last time Maxie Martin was 4.4 seconds behind Jarvis he's gonna try and make up and then attack number six does riding shotgun against Carnival of the pmw though has been hoping for a wet race Maxine Martin as we saw its part is great in the wet so let's now see what he can do is across the line that's gone Oliver Jarvis across the line now goes Maxine Martin the gap I'll give you a moment that lap from Martin was a 53:5 he's closer and so the gap now is 3.9 seconds he's getting closer and closer all the while to the Oliver Jarvis driven Audi and so it's now not just for position it's for the championship and Vashon boss he's looking a bit more stressed than he did early on because the race now perhaps she's coming to mark VDS the conditions are favoring the car and the driver and the safety car has also changed the order and that car really did jump up the field this morning everybody walked where to what the Audi's needed he's got it there's 71 which currently is in third place down to four howdy number one is ahead so on this lap the two zeros drop back behind Stefan or tele rather than gaining a place against banter but you're going to have those curls trade places any mobile to you not because they need to get number one further up the order as they come down towards turn nine there it is at EZ Pass definite early goes up into second place so that extends the gap on points in the championship and it also mean to run out to out ease but back see marks on a somehow got to find a way past within forty four minutes not even core that's them yet but what he does life's going to be difficult that's for sure so number one I'm into second place and that's fine because the points gap over the number three mark BDS the above is going to be enough to give that car the championship now bear in mind as well at 71 Ferrari still wants plate is out of this race and Stefan of Gattuso he's now down in fourth will have been jumped by or Italian who's gonna have gained two spots on this lap we've got to drive through penalty being offered for three cars all for speeding in the pit lane one is the 42 Ferrari one is the 34 Porsche and the other is the number 49a in Corsa Ferrari doesn't affect anything to do with the championship outright Pro couple the overall situation for the race but you're going to have some pals dropping away now with pit lane infringement Stefano cattuzzo gets into the pit crossed up there Oliver Jarvis tries to make a move on the inside report base going up towards turn - can't do it u2's defends him off what about a term three job is up onto the curb and behind them a lap back is Sean Edwards who is currently running third within pro-am and his next target is Andrew Danny mu for a class position team wrt at the moment as they're trying to go to the inside line now towards turn six his job as he's done it he's gone through up into four blades ahead of stuff look at Tuesday and they're off the road is coming up at two Audi number two spins as he got back on in front of Maxine Martin is the question the car had a spin exactly there yesterday is a dry span again in the wet so we need to see whether BMW is relative to a steel sliding Audi us off the road once again in the hands of Lawrence banter he doesn't spin this time as he put down the power the cart got away from him this is the BMW that's further up the road and that's or telling who's had a moment if there's another car off and there's a yellow flag waving that's all down at turn nine is one of the Ferraris that's gone off and I think that could be 57 that's off the road 50 Jack Gerber has got a problem look at the left rear corner just like 38 Ferrari had early on in the race number 30 Craig Wilkins recovering after a spin he's all happening because of the rain now it's so-so where people are really struggling to keep the cars on the road some are doing a grand job others are really struggling so what is that situation without telling having run wide on the spin 4 car - done - the overall situation it is 57 that's off the road look that's also got left rear breakage and that's definitely the end of the championship for bhatta cheney and friends that cars gain no further it's also brought down a yellow flag and so over the line or telly goes through now in second place Jarvis runs 3rd Gattuso is for Maxine Martin he's fifth and he is 2 seconds away from Ortelli so Maxine marked out as he goes over the timing line is going to get past the Ferrari first of all in the hands stephannie cattuzzo number two Long's vantur then the spin was costly he's put him back behind the mark PDS BMW so that is no longer really that car of any help as far as team wrt is concerned now the moment for Turley running second would give him a hundred and fourteen points Marton fifth would give him one hundred and nine so it's still an Audi Championship but as the Ferrari goes by the BM spins maxi Martellus lost it 360 degrees that's the only mistake we've seen audio he's got the car going again has he lost any places he certainly lost time ahead of him KATUSA got sideways and Maxie Martin got a little bit caught out by that and he spun and that mistake as I think it's the only one we've really seen all season could well have cost him the championship as Mike Wainwright has had a trauma and the car won't restart this flame out of the back and another spin number five nd su Chet get off coming through a corner and finding a car stuck on the road a lot they're just arriving backwards now if the safety car came out for short before surely it's got a cam out again I'm looking at the man on the gantry on the start line who's got his yellow flag in hand and we are short yes we go safety car please come up on the screen as a spin for Greg wild a musky a the safety car is being deployed the gentlemen trophy leading in the championship Audi's off as well he's just hit the McLaren so Phillip yak as I say the Colts leading it in the championship has hit the station in McLaren we do go safety car yet again and there's no option is that I think back bit of contact has bump started the McLaren he drives away from the scene of the crime now but it's littering the circuit it's partly because of a Weber and so after all of the drama we go safety car again number 5 is gone off we saw that look at the damage this cars got to finish to win the class in the championship and Philipp gear with front damage may not go any further now that's Jeff see because the Porsche class opposition is out of the race if that car doesn't finish has it done 75% of the distance that's one for the timekeepers to resolve but if the Audi just restart it needs to have done 75% to be classified otherwise the cars and the championship will be won by the JB motorsport outing [Music] that Audi is limping limping limping put it gear trying to get it going in and head back towards the pit lane and they've got to get the car back in the race to be on the safe side you can see the front damage it is moving not very quickly right we've gone safety car for the second time and this again will affect gaps between cars we've just had over the timing line go early Oliver Jarvis Maxine Martin now 2nd 3rd and 4th Marc Goossens is up into fifth place now in 75 and Stefan under to Zoe's drop back into seat in the 71 Ferrari so there is number one champion elect Stefan totally do you see the number 57 Ferrari stuck by the side of the road that will be retrieved I would have thought while we have this safety car period but with cars just skating off the road understandable but the race director has thrown the safety car either stairs are rather worried looking bass line ders well the car is up into fourth base 111 points or tally second number 14 they need somehow to gain one more place if if one more place can be gained by the BMW they tie on points and they win on a tie-break so Oliver Jarvis who is the man of the which in a sense he is the man who will determine the championship if he's overtaken he goes to BMW if he's not overtaken it stays with Audi this stint however many racing laps he gets in he's going to be a hugely important one Oliver Jarvis could well determine the outcome of the championship and vantur he's off in the gravel that's the second spin but this one he's done under the safety car and he's off the road he may be pushed out of the ground would be able to rejoin from there but it shows how bad the conditions are if a pro driver gets it wrong and flings it into the gravel under the safety car go back to my point about Oliver Jarvis as I say he's now the man who is the first important bloke in the place he's up to him in descent seven who's the champion if he's overtaken it goes to BMW if you stays where he is it goes to Audi so the field you can see how wet the road is turning its way out from turns one two and three behind the safety car and what we party terms of a gap between Fred McAfee key and everybody else are we on the restart gonna have at even close the situation eight seconds earlier first a peacock if the field comes over the timing line we now have it at 2.7 seconds 2.7 is all that there is between Maccabee kyun or telly so yes the gap has come down is stephane alternate gonna try to get past him and increase the margin of the championship now is Phillip get Carl limping to the pit lane Robert his'n is no doubt a concerned man Haley what's his state of mind Robert all you need to do is finish the race once they're looking like for the Audi at the moment well we've got a problem our third driver got tangled up into some in some wet and we're trying to get it back to the track now back to the pits now we got to finish 75% of the race so we're a little bit nervous now hopefully get a fingers cross and keep it going I'm not sure it's just coming in right now so we'll see when it comes in fingers crossed Thanks there's Lawrence van tours car in the background so he's had that spin into the gravel near where marshals were working under a yellow flag that will not go down a storm in race control that looks as though the rain has eased off a little bit this is the spin that we saw first of all sideways and then spinning was Gattuso Martin's firm Wainwright spun in the Gulf McLaren they got going and then Mike Wainwright is just stuff you can't get the car going and that is not where you want to be parked and just wait and see how many cars Oh nearly nearly hit it a of course Evita for one and then we get one arriving backwards in a second or two which we saw there's a spinning Andy sue check and Mike Wainwright definitely trying to get going just avoided by what I think was the number 17 Ferrari and then eventually his worst nightmare in this brown trouser moment arrives he's collected by another car and that there it is is the Audi bang it was spinning already and ends up clobbering the parked car fourth gear and Craig Wilkins has to avoid as well so after mayhem with the weather having turned nasty nobody really wanted to come to the pit lane because that will only ruin their race at this stage so the safety car slowed everybody right down what is it slow them down so much is that because now it was just one crocodile of cards rather than others going quickly and playing catch-up I suspect it is because while they're having to go quickly and catch the queue ahead there's that risk bar control for long slant or are people going off the road to cease at the end of the race how many laps have been done by that Audi and whether it's done as Robertson was saying and I'm at the point early at 75% of the race you don't have to take the flag you do have to do 75% if it hasn't to the championship lost so things are turning in Pro Cup things have turned in pro-am things could be turning in the gentlemen trophy here two drivers just accelerating because they slower than burst a way to put a bit of warmth into the tyres 24 Lamborghini is up into eight faced beetle pops4 we love it and that's sort of crept back into the picture here back to the safety car 33 minutes of the race remain now there is the field the wet road up through turn one with Fred McAfee cleaning Stefan or telling birdies Oliver Jarvis fourth is Maxine Martin fifth is Marc Goossens sink of the Stefano go to Zone in seventh place is now 66 to the Vita for one BMW Frank Eckler 80s Peter Cox ninth Andy sucuk and 10th is grégoire de Misti a leading pro am ahead of Andrew Danny Luke doing a great job hanging on a second in class 12 overall is Nick Katz Berg in the Pro Cup BMW and then 13th overall and third is pro-am is Sean Edwards in the Mercedes a car I mentioned a while ago would be one worth watching now that Sean's behind the wheel not saying it's not been going well anyway we Steve Yantz and with olive inaudible wheel but Sean's the quickest of the three how long for the safety car to stay out this is partly because of car number two need he could retrieved the Carl's paddle around even the safety car generating quite a bit of spray it's navara a circuit drained well seemingly at the moment there's still standing water around he's number six Oliver Jarvis it was I say is now designated the task of keeping Maxine Martin behind him this is the Santa LOC Audi that was leading and heading to a championship victory in the gentlemen trophy Philip gear can't win the championship because he got done every round but he might just have lost it for the mighty by the spin and then hitting a parked car very bad luck of him there was a car stationary on the road otherwise it just spun and got away with it but as he hit something and lots of frontal damage will it get who's got to go back out in the car is now sitting in the pit lane working on the red face and Robert hits him he's looking very worried is Robert hissing see what the mood is in the camp let's fill it yeah in the car the Santa LOC team work to try to get the car back into the race just to finish just 75% will do let's try and catch up with Robert pace and see if he knows any more Haley it's all yours Robert can you provide us with an update you gonna be able to pick the ID I'm not sure yet there looks like it's party day I'm not sure if the radiators done but thank you this safety cars gonna help Robert hiss them to an extent isn't it because the pace of the race will be less the number of laps down will be less and therefore doing 75% of a safety car effective race is easier than doing 75% of the norm safety car affected race so a few laps down because of the slower pace under the safety car there is number two out of the gravel and red face Laurens van tour heading back to the pit lane but I would imagine that the race director would want to work with him because to throw the car into the gravel while the safety car is on track over the line comes down the safety car now with random akimichi still behind indeed either way now also just to add to the melting pot here have a look what car is second in the queue as they head up towards turn one focus in on that second set of headlights they belong to a BMW they belong to a mark VDS BMW it's the number four car ahead of two Audi's now it's not by design I don't think this but the way it's panned out is that we've got a BMW which could just hold up the Audi's to enable its sister car to catch up there look with three back markers to wriggle away through his maxi party so if the number four BMW which is in the hands now Oh Nick Katz Berg could do a very good defensive job and keep the traffic stuck there for a lap or two maxi Mart our mine too so it's not just our did it might be able to play the team game here at Katz Berg who's any race for the squad once before it was in the Zolder 24 hours but just earned himself a seat for next year here if he does the job properly looking a bit more optimistic Constanta lock isn't it roll kitchen tell is certainly coming in very handy try and clean the front of the car with the radiator hasn't suffered any damage they're going to get back into the race we've got just under half an hour to go Laurens van two of their for the shake gravel at the bottom of the Audi tack tape special gear behind the wheel of the Audi hoping to go back into the race howdy engineers as well having a look at patient even helping with the sticky tape why black doesn't matter what color as long as the cars held together and as long as the lights work to satisfy the scrutineers as well then it's gonna be okay it's not a bad job damage device an to lock that I know it's been a bit panicky to try and get the car back into the race but they have done a good job helped not losing too much time by the slow pace under the safety car the car goes onto the pit apron the engine has to be fired up once it is on the pit apron sorry turn it they drop it down need anything else doing to it I don't think so we're ready to go car will drop down if they gonna fire up on its own down it goes will it get fires up the engine we'll be on the radio no doubt on this now to the team to explain - sounds a lot how the car feels what it's doing and as Philip gear goes up the pit lane behind you will see the number two Audi because Ron's bound to her after the gravel he's being allowed back into the race that car drops down into 23rd place but it is back in the race there is a penalty I've been told the team manager of car 49 that's the Bocelli a mallet golf Ferrari he's being summoned to the race director and as the safety car goes over the timing line the yellow flag still wave to be all down to 27 minutes all of the race to go so the team's been warned about a lot of water on the inside of turn five turn five being the corner that as you saw caught that my Twain rides and pretty a gear in being howdy one or two others so we'll be more about the state of the track they all want to go racing of course so the last thing that we need is for the race to have to end like this as we stand now then it is 114 points going the way of the Audi team BMW would have 111 so it will be a three point victory between Audi and BMW cars at least mortelli over line dispositive counselor and then find them Goossens Hanna Ricci and Marcin would go up to third on 72 points basis that's got better and better and better as the race is worn on that's crept up the order as well and then behinds you've got the this weekend absent and ready Cheney Tipler Sandstrom right how many more laps do we need out of a safety car safety car stays out VDS come here overtake for the other car plot hailey we'll find out as Max has obviously got a lot of work to do but you do have the other car in front of the addy yes it's in front but it's a tough race but the Audi's are so aggressive I never seen this from the beginning I took my start Bonanomi almost pushed me off once then he pushed me off I had a puncture because I was I was passed and we just ran into me I mean this is unacceptable but ok this is their tactics we are my own I just my hope that of course we have this number 6 Audi between the number one and ours and yeah I'm afraid that the hate did this guy will do everything to keep us behind so hopefully we'll be a sportive way but I doubt that's about as close to a Rand as you can get from battle Ida's isn't it so not impressed without his tactics and looking very very worried as well about what's going to happen in the remaining minutes of the race and there are fewer minutes each lap the safety car does he's a problem for the mark VDS team which passed principal because it deprives cmart out another racing back to try and move the car up the order now he's talking about is Oliver Jarvis interesting that pass line has mentioned to puncture because it seemed come in avatar change a slow puncture maybe but he coped with a northeast but if his stint but anyway contact he cited in the great will be the championship for e-commerce addendum at heels over and rare Bertolini who could miss two rounds and still finished second here could make a head off Eugenio Hamas Alessandra Bona Cheney whose bend it and Jacob Oh Petra belly who did a very good at first stint so the top three and they would be just one point ahead the ludovic bad day honey probably country's coil are Ferrari unless that gains another place now about at the moment he's behind recipe cheer oh so could yet change could make for third and fourth within the cars in the championship Greg white over skier Duncan taffy set for equal fifth our 58 points bit of a twitch their loss it's definite le behind the safety car as they feed in the power the car [Applause] bounce on boss because he posed that slide as opinion on all of this let's find out for vessel Vince we've just been speaking to bass line ders and he seems to think that their team are being unsportsmanlike by pushing the BMW off he feels that the Audi dominating them pushing North to try out what your views on that I think I have seen that I've seen the BMW number three spawning twice in the last few minutes so I it's a lot of water on the track it looks to be a bit dangerous well I don't know I am okay if their release is just race we will race till the end will you be blocking with car number six the kind of a six is there to fight yes thank you one question ignored one question kind of answered who try Haley well done so bass line is of course drove in the drive and so on just in case you'd forgotten that bit so you can't blame what he was doing and the outcome against Marco Bonanomi on the rain because it was been the drive stint but yes the scene has just said number six is going to be better fight and the fight read become very very wide to keep Maxime our town at bay but how many more laps could get behind the safety car is about to come over the timing line once again there's no real that's up in the rain so do we go to the end like this which me a dreadful way to win the championship or do they release them and just hope for the best so we know not for the moment with the Robert his'n and Pierre Hershey howdy back on track it once a game looked good to win the gentlemen trophy in the championship over the michael bender yam brunstedt V here this weekend to Daniel Deborah where Christian Calders early retirements remember after the pucker and the spin got here I but their vibe for having had a checkered season but number ten coming into the bay is the software Ferrari out of pro-am currently he's got a long way down the order so it's serving its pitstop there is 52 which is currently running in 16th overall but he's going to be the championship winning car in pro-am with Miko Merced and Louie Mac heels thanks to a assortment of co-drivers set for the championship and thanks in part also to 57 Ferrari having its problems so in pro cut on the track you've got mclaren ahead of audi 1.9 seconds is the gap in quotes because of course it all comes down under the safety car I think part of the reason why the safety car is staying out is because there's a another couple of cars trying to play catch-up and one of them again he's 41 fatiguée ak who was the problem earlier and behind him he's number two dogs and also they would need to have a catch up or just be bother ignored and hope that they will cause on the first green flag lap of the race we're not yeah having any indication on the timing screen that the safety car will be coming in imminent they say Maxine Martin as I said earlier he's being denied the chance to gain places while the safety car is off the track like this so pro-am heels and hommerson looking good for the championship ahead of Petra belly Bona Cheney and a moss and in the pit lane is frustrated you journey Ramos the race the championship has gone away from them he's with hailing new genius sadly the championship is no longer in your sight can you tell us what happened yeah the rear left suspension broke and the current was in the sand so as you said the title is gone and we hope at least to be p3 as you can see over there at least but I'm not sure we will manage to be between [Music] five before [Music] big big disappointment not only not win the championship but then with just a few more minutes of the season to go watch the car tumble down the order so it looks they're number 10 Ferrari in the pit ladies being retired gabrielle Balthazar having bought the car in out of 28th place but it's going into its garage although you can see the spray generator you can see the water on the track is not letting up so what was the race director do does he just keep them like this to the end it would be really really disappointing to end the championship I'm a safety car would know what they're having a chance to do any overtaking but I can't quite see where we go from here early unless he's gonna now start to get the pace quickened to get into the tars and then try and get from ten more racing minutes at the end but it's only going to be about four laps before so this is definitely spew you can see even at low speed the amount of spray Stefan Ortelli is quite attentive at the rate end like this it'll be a disappointing way to end the yeah well Charlie's staring at the back of the number four BMW is twelve and a lap down but could of course get in the way of the Audi if and when we get to a restore girls making their way down towards turn nine through that tight right-hander it's an Audi leading of course to the early safety car ahead of the race leading a Clara Fred McAfee [Music] so the race director back to doing the right thing in terms of be cautious best and how people say why didn't you restart the race Bart when why did you conceive pretty windy as well as very wet now we're in conditions to end the season we started in a similar vein of Monza with a long safety car period and wet horrible weather stop again a bookend the with those weather conditions and even the marshals are having a sense of humor fairly now as they battle under their rather moth-eaten umbrellas there's 66 BMW 7 Frank heckler again there are lots of people that could possibly gain places before the very end you can see what the weather conditions are like rain cold windy brim and the safety car is about to raffle off another lap we're down to 17 more minutes of the season of the race is this the last lap the safety cars going to do the timing light it goes so frustrating for everybody involved now there's no overtaking permitted and the championship could end up being in exactly this order in 16 and a half minutes time if we don't get a restart as the cars paddle their way up towards turn four let's try and catch up on a few bits the pitlane Hayley's doing her best not only to find out use but keep dry Hayley what have you got for us yeah hey adders just an update from the rights of engineering Goucher just had an interesting conversation with hands writer they've just bought the Lamborghini into the pit lane to boost the tire pressure hoping to avoid aquaplaning out on track planning on only losing two spaces hopefully in the race but benefitting themself overall okay thanks Hayley good call that yeah so the car has dropped away it's down to 11th so yet did it cost them too many spots but of course that plan is all rather dependent on the race restarting and if the conditions don't improve the race director is get a struggle to justify restarting it isn't he so there you can see some of the teams sheltering on the pit wall under the so-called Pratt purchase some of the garages keep you dry there we have no news yet as to whether there is going to be whether it's going to be the restart these grim conditions Marshall was holding out the SC board away from the yellow flags extremely for dragging so Fred mcavee key alvaro parent and Steph düsseldorf if things were to stay as they are could be on for a race win should be on for a race win and Stefan or attorney Christopher meeting Christopher Hauser for the championship when the second car came out we had over 20 minutes remaining well over 20 minutes remaining now we're down to just under 15 and the number of laps available to the likes of Maxine Martin to make up places are dwindling so still wait to see whether the race director was going to let me go or to call it if you're going to get into the last few minutes there's really little point in persevering behind the safety car is there a little cool as they put it gear how do you take tup still going field go a bit strung out it works its way in some cases over the timing line another case that water turn 14 Fredrick amici leading the way from Stephan Ortelli and in third place Oliver Jarvis and Maxine Martin has dropped got a long way back within the queue of cars to get out of a spray of anything that's what the state looks like around the circuit gray windy type being anywhere but sunny Spain isn't it so Anna rain affected seat looks like rain just when you didn't want it to affect the championship is going to affect the championship lower down the order in pro-am as there is the 57 Ferrari out of harm's way it's the number 12 McLaren grégoire diversity a still leading ahead of Andrew Dany live in the DB meadow sport BMW of third in class number 19 Sean Edwards in the Mercedes the mark VDS team know that getting frustrated as well about this because it cannot fight for the championship if the race is going to be neutralized like this and normally when we know the safety car is doing it will come up on the screen to tell everybody can come in at the end of this lap but there is not any suggestion that was yet about happening you can see just how bad the weather is [Music] it's something that the race director has to wrestle with his conscience over really whether to restart the race or whether it's still as dangerous as he was what he called the safety car if it was dangerous they're gonna be dangerous now Stephane Ortelli accelerates out of term nine and through turn 10 satellites get a bit of warmth into the tires snows right down again for turn 11 so that's the scene here at navara is final round of the prompt an endurance series we are still all behind the safety car we may indeed finish behind the safety car if things don't improve even fractionally so as the cars currently dwell at 8 to 8 now we're standing you've got just walk 12 minutes of the race to go the cars coming onto the pit straight once again the yellow lights still flash the best lap set right at the very start by Alvaro parent his car it's going to be a race winner with Steph tousled or having another good middle stage where the weather turned nasty he was able to control the conditions Magali key we've really been able to see the best off because of this interrupted twice interrupted second stint Lorraine I'm afraid as rather sport the party here has meant because we're down to 11 minutes to go even if we restarted at the end of this lap I wouldn't think there's enough opportunity in the race of maxi Martin to be able to gain places so I have a feeling that we are going to be the rice was out from Japanese girls lines through the water and downhill towards turn for normal circumstances there BD 75 km/h which then down 150 and down to 85 turn six which is very tight left takes you uphill but in these conditions for pace dictated by the safety car and what are your cueing up behind and that's the race classification it has been quite some time now it looks like it may well end the wind picking up as well but with the rain still falling it's not doing anything to help driver track is it team still being warm about water on the inside of turn five that's much the rain has poor words yes that's a problem but to the standing water on the circuit that's a big issue as well but I think anybody wants the series to end behind the safety car they may be no choice season butters had a variety of conditions a variety of race winners as well if you take the Pro Cup in isolation think back to Monza it was the BMW that one of their best line does looking all the fed up now understandably so Maxine Martin marques pal to look the other there that's the number 30 Audi Craig Wilkins getting back up to page those had a bit of a moment coming out of turn five the Silverstone race again rain affected at the start while by Alton de line dozen Martin then at Paul Ricard it was dry even though we have the old spot of rain and that was an Audi win or telly meets a casa spa an Audi win and read Puccini Rene Rast and Frankie blur and their portrait victorious the Nurburgring Marc Goossens bartender in chief vast liners we have seen how frustrated he looks as he doesn't what the cars will go racing hailey sad end to the race but what a great season you've heard yeah it's not over yet still 9 minutes and there's still some investigation to do after the race because there are the worst wheeler irregularities [Music] which can change the result of the championship your opinions are racing at these conditions of course now it's very tricky there's a lot of water on the track the problem is this the championship with a lot of gentleman drivers who don't drive so well because that's why they gentlemen drivers so it's a bit tricky of course for our professional drivers it's not just a big problem hole doc it's strictly for everybody so yeah it's a shame to come to Spain and have this this winner pass we're saying in Austin and his first question we may not necessarily know the outcome even when the flag Falls if he's going to take this to the stewards and complain about one or two things perhaps driving standards and quality other elements he may have spotted there the story could rub belong meter keep tabs on the prompt an endurance series website for the continuation of the story may not just add when the race ends and although as he said there are nine minutes to go we're down to eight and change now are we going to get a restart everybody's trying to find out for hey star actor it's really in a very awkward position [Music] to be invade and off under the safety car as gone is that number 12 McLaren Greg wild a moose da I fear it may well be and that again yeah it is that's great well second drama I think behind the safety car we had one in the earlier safety car period for him now what is that done as far as the class position to concern will need to check at the end of the lab but has that just cost the McLaren a class lead we'll have to wait and see when they come over the timing light to see where that car feeds back in but it could have just spun itself out of the class lead and that potentially is just what the race director needed to make up his mind if people are spinning behind the safety car he can't restart surely if the conditions are that bad maybe that's the answer is he going to keep them behind the safety car for seven more minutes is it going to be an early checkered flag says the cars are almost heading up towards the timing line Marshall who is on the start gantry just looking to see what flag he had in his hand he's now just flared he's literally running down the stairs get some shelter so thank you daddy enough it's off so the cars make their way up to the timing line the yellow lights still flash therefore no suggestion of an early checkered flag in the situation for the pronoun cap number 12 McClaren despite bred by the bustiers spin still few heads in the class so that's been embarrassing but not that costly so there's the McLaren and behind there should be a BMW 37 of Andrew Danny loop which is that said actually talked to Christopher Houser we have already seen with Accord of middle stint in Audi number one he's given over to Stefan or telly and it looked like he's about to be crowned the champion Hayley Christopher current standings and the race is looking like you could be crowned 2012 champions how does that feel I mean at the moment we are still in the race so we keep the fingers crossed I mean the weather now it's very very bad to drive we saw some some cars but uh had some sponge in this in the safety car there you see how less grip at the moment is and how dangerous is to drive so at the moment for sure it looks good for us but still five minutes to go and we should wait under the end they said they've been a great lineup this year hasn't it for the three of you he's certainly been a great driver line up having the three of you together ia was a great driver line I mean everybody was on the same speed and also the team did always a great job fantastic and that's why we are able now to do maybe the championship but just wait five minutes then we can talk more thank you Chris the Hassan not speaking too soon but it does look as though the champions going to go his way to say the fact that we've gone so far under the safety car and things have really improved us suggests we're going to have to keep going under the safety car the Marshall on the start line is back these gantry still this yellow flag in hand and the safety car is heading if you can see up towards the confusion of lap number 91 in seasons given as that mixing winners as I was talking about him Pro Cup or Marshalls I think it's of debris around the road pro-am it started back at Monza with honors going the way a Ferrari that was the win for animal spectra belly and Papa Cheney at Silverstone remember and the red flag comes out that's its job dump championship he's over the red lights come on the red flag is waved and that is a championship winning team the champions are crowned Stefan Ortelli Christopher Meese and Christopher Haase is not the way anybody wants to win a championship or to end the race but weather conditions and the opinion of the race director added together have made it inevitable the championship is over behind the safety car under a red flag it's not the way anybody would have wanted to win the crown but it has happened team wrt the Belgian Audi Club there's bouncing ball celebrating with these guys it's been a hard season the championship provisionally he's won by team wrt for Christopher house at Christopher meats and Stefan Ortelli the cars stopped on the track and just imagine the disappointment at Marc VDS racing not being able to get a crack at fighting for the crown despite the fact that car works its way up into fourth place but with the safety car coming out on the race not restarting never getting the chance the race will not resume let's join Haley in the pit lane and hear from a delighted Audi team bounced on bosses there piojo Donnie is there the tribe is there Haley is there as well congratulations Vincent you are the 2012 bomb pound injured Series Pro Cup champion thank you I think it was a half fight unfortunately it's the race was stopped by red flag but I think for safety reason a lot of car where spinnings and I think it was the only way to finish the iris been quite disease if it wrt it's been a pleasure to watch you guys racing and second in a ride champions of the pub and Jared theory thank you yes it's been a great season and winning this championship is so fantastic it has been very nerve wracking because of what all the things which happen it but we are very happy and also congratulation to the market yes team because they did a great job and you know there was very little between the two of us so congratulation to them magnanimous Pierre to donate as knowledge is the great effort of Marc BDS racing I'm sure that Haley is already on their way down to that pitch to go and see a completely different demeanor as the team crew there for Championship which was Bears of course they led into this race and although past behind us was talking about being bundled out of the way part of the problem started at the Nurburgring with the grid penalty the templates drop then there was that difficult first stint then the car that Garmin to fourth place not able because of the safety car situation to really challenge afterwards it's a disappointing way to end the year yes that is where we have ended up and it's a championship victory to Audi well they're less we forget it's a race when he can McLaren takes a block pound victory which at Monza in wet conditions look very very unlikely because the cars really weren't on the pace that we find ourselves at the end of the year with hexxus winning for the third time at the vara twice in the gt1 World Championship and now in the endurance series as well coming home victorious and so the McLaren team run by Philly PD about Fred Makahiki Alvaro parents and Steph düsseldorf takes the win and they will make their way shortly up onto the podium at the end of another fascinating race but one that economies of a sour taste necessarily but leaves you wanting more doesn't it with the weather conditions going against us just when it was getting interesting to have that last few laps with Maxine Martin trying to gain one more place that's all he needed and fascinating to watch would have been great to see but the weather conditions deemed by the race director too bad of course he'll be in contact with the safety car crew and would have been saying how is it on the track of they'll say no it's still a lots of standing water getting some feedback to help him make that decision Carl's coming into Parc Ferme eight so one or two of the hexxus engineers trying to get into plat fare main being waved away I have to congratulate their guys over the fence the top three in each class arriving there shortly doors open the door of the Mercedes having finished this weekend a lot of the winner but bird in pro-am with Oliver Morley on the podium again and with Steve Yantz I can if you look at the umbrellas there you can see just how grim the weather is the wind has picked up the rain is still falling very very heavily so there is a very happy Fred McAfee key and I've our parentis arrived - greetings aricept us a lot most Alvaro is of a hug relates him very very happy Audi people in the background as you can see Stefan Ortelli to get another championship to his illustrious CV the four malamaal winner and after the sunshine at the start of the race it's barely conceivable but rain stop to play so Stefan or Thierry you could argue had a pretty cushy stin there much bit done behind the safety car but well done step out the championship is his and Christopher house our Christopher nice are there to graduate in the top three in pro-am arrived class win for Gregoire devastating Duncan Tapia the overall podium that they were hoping for they don't get bounced at Klaus win on a good job done too so Stefan Ortelli Christopher nice and Christopher has to take the championship let's hear from the drivers they are in the pit lane with Haley Christopher congratulations you are the 2012 drivers champion out of the field I can't believe it it's unbelievable it was just a crime Siddarth so difficult to make no mistake now we are champion again with wrt thank the Lord for that I mean I can't describe this unbelievable they're fine you definitely finished in typical conditions but the experience and the young talent has definitely brought the title home is it together we are doing a good job and I think they deserve it you know it's a big championship for both Christopher and I'm happy for them and I'm especially happy that Vincent was could retain his title both title and really really a big clubs for the team because we are champs again guys we are congratulations Christopher you didn't want to quite celebrate a few minutes ago but now you can let loose congratulations you are the champion for twenties world it's unbelievable it's it's a pleasure I mean I can't say more it's it's so great to be chiming in 2012 without EU estava your tea I mean we did everything what we could do and we did it so we started in the evening thank you the to Christopher's who were the 2009 gt3 European champions FIA European GT food champions together and now they are prompt our champions together as well now let's not forget that was a rate in all of that one by X's team Fred motto of our apparent and staff düsseldorf difficult conditions but you have dominated the weekend the McLaren has firmly performed him really good performed really well Navarro's a track for us and you know great job this last stint was a bit crazy with the way there you know it's super hot here it's like the Maldives now it's a bit boring on the last stint but great job for for all of us graduations to the team and to see all three of you driving the McLaren around this track here and a good win for you guys they share it this track i choice went through to win together because we lead off the championship even if it was not on the same car but there is our and stuff it was great and it's unbelievable to do this for the job of pacline and the job of fixes it's great and it was a hard way especially at the end and really congratulation for everybody what an end to the season it would be silly for you guys let's come back to the bonfire is there infection yeah it's it's crazy and with the Donington weekend then with this weekend winning everything is perfect you know it's a perfect weekend for exit it's perfect and difficult then but pretty happy thank you guys so yes both races at Darlington for the GT 1 well final were won by hexxus and by Steph düsseldorf red mark Avicii and of course the last round of that championship was red-flagged as well because of an accident not because of weather and it's happened again here sadly a red flag and the race well they are the champions provisionally we know the race winners provisionally and as the race control vehicle sets off to close the circuit confirmation of course the race isn't going to be resumed and the race goes the way of the McLaren of Hex's racing alvaro parent Fred McAfee and Steph düsseldorf take the WIMP ahead of number one Stefan Ortelli along with Christopher Haase and Christopher Mies third for the number six outie French Tipler Oliver Jarvis 234 albuquerque ahead of the Vanquish batch line there's Marquez palatal up a maxi Mart a fifth mark henna reaches a VA Marcin and Marc Goossens ahead of the video Regan Stefano cattuzzo and Daniel's empty area great for all cheek mathias lauda frack catalyst seventh so Lamberg a nice to check in Nick over donk eight I'll flip the spins that car had but a good first hit by the dog great way to miss GA and Duncan tapi come home in ninth and win their class ahead of Andrew Danny Luger habits and Simmel can outlet then you've got Peter Cox your cementum and the start driver Stefan la escena in the Lamborghini and as the results scroll through in 13th overall the third-placed team within pro-am oliver mortis deviance and Sean Edwards 14th behind them the Dan Brown Giuseppe Giro caitanya Dania Ferrari and keep going you get to 23rd and that's where the third of a team wrt out is finished and much lower down 98 is the JV motorsport OD that in 27th overall wins the gentlemen trophy class in the race and number 41 that finished 30th becomes the championship winning car Robert hit'em and Pierre Hershey the champions fit gieok who's not done every round doesn't win the championship because he doesn't have as many points as the other two that he's paid his part in making it a fascinating race once more for all of the three classes with that damaged the car sustained so those the results and drivers being cajole to go on to the podium and get wet for a bit but they will be up there shortly and they will be the podiums for the classes and of course the champions podium as well so out come the drivers then because for third place will be Oliver Jarvis Frank Tipler and Amanda started in the number six which was Filipe Albuquerque there the second the champions Stefan Ortelli along with Christopher house and Christopher nice and then the race winners Fred Makahiki along with Stephanie law and our vara parent make their way on to the podium it's McLaren OD OD within the top three the French practice racing team scores victory in Spain so the wing drivers are there and now a national anthem we should have of excess racing as the winning team I think people are so busy celebrating down below we get there now [Music] [Music] so for hexxus racing the RCA is played and a truly international crew the ducks driver Steph tussle norton portuguese dr alvaro prep the French driver Fred McAfee key and the hexes team noisily celebrates its race whim now the trophy is being presented to the drivers and it's the drivers for second place that will get the biggest cheer because they are the champions better first believe Albuquerque Frank Tipler Oliver Jarvis and team wrt with three cars in the race while ends up 23rd after a trip into the gravel and others end up third and second but it's gonna be intriguing to see you as bat-line ders was alluding to where we go from here because he was certainly suggesting that he will be going to see the race officials suggesting that things weren't being done by the porked by other teams so they're the champions Ortelli meets parser but Dells 4-story ramble on are we going to end up with the stewards being busy this evening and the results potentially being affected we'll wait to find out there the trophies go to the race winners for them no such dramas because it's been absolutely faultless race for Fred McAfee key staff düsseldorf and for Alvaro pair out there in the middle though the celebrations on the podium the celebrations below Pepsi team with the clap since I say the noisily celebrate a whim I'm sure they're too concerned about champagne the probably wet and cold enough the drivers then will make their way to a press conference and the podium will then be made ready for the next class which is going to be the pro-am can't agree the drivers having been rounded up and they will then make their way to the podium so another different winner within a pro cap in pro-am a first win of the season for the AR T Grand Prix team and of course the first time this year that we're going to have MacLaren's winning in two classes because it's a win in both Pro and Pro Am just to confirm the race results once more McFerrin ahead of our date ahead of Audi this is how it is in Pro Cup as well as outright fourth is the Mark V vs BMW fifth the Prost be for sure six the castle racing Ferrari ahead of the visa for one BMW then 18 class is the puts machine your McLaren ninth goes the way of the Lamborghini that gamble to come in and change the tar pressures a good one but with the race don't restarting therefore it loses pace is rather than gaining that which was the original plan so hands Reuters gamble doesn't pay off but it was certainly worth a pump wasn't it so that was the Pro Cup and the winning drivers in pro-am now making their way up onto the podium with the AR T Grand Prix team and we've had a difficult fact ISM to begin with really in the championship about getting stronger and stronger as the air has gone on there for third the Black Falcon racing team Steve chance Sean Edwards all of them ollie and Morty jr. it's a class win for the AR t gone preteen there for second place out onto the podium will come see Malkin app along with Andrew Danny Louvre and the class winners Greg Rodimus key and Duncan tapi for a RT gone free absolutely delighted despite the dramas that befell Greg wild a misty a spinning behind the safety car there that they are winners and it's another French team running a McLaren that comes out on top at Navarra [Music] so if a are Tigran three the national anthem of France is paid for the French squad it's a word about the team that comes home in second place because you cast your mind back to the Nurburgring Andrew Danny Luke was one of the drivers involved in a fairly large shunt in the bronze test session and there was even a story that he wasn't even gonna get into the race well and I saw him after the race having his dinner all on his own he was mighty relieved to have raced and said I probably feel a bit sore in the morning but yeah I'm okay now well it's been a good way for him to end his season as well hasn't it bouncing back from that for second in class his best result and Bolivar Morley is back on the podium on horses having returned the junior Morley clamp jacket on and he's ready to get his trophy as well so Stevie outs Sean Edwards all of them orally you can see their trophies they are t13 they're ready now to accept the team's award as well trophies go to the top three teams on the podium the champions will get a roll pan clock and that should be presented to them in the champions podium which will come at the very end so we normally have three one per class we're going to get a fourth podium with the championship winning drivers there as well in each of the three classes there's Duncan tapi a delighted man that movie pulled around the outside to gain a place down at turn nine fabulous fabulous mood and although grégoire de muskie a could have been a bit of a red faced driver by the end of this if those spins would cost them the class quim brought it home did just enough to hang on and to take the race win it's a shame that it's all count together a bit late in the year in a sense for the McLaren teams in general because that has certainly affected matters as far as winning championships or more races is concerned but as I say at the end of the year scam good for them and it's good to see get a different manufacturer another name of the eight rounds we've had in this race scoring a victory here so Duncan tappy looks at his trophy it's been a bit of a lean time for trophies he was dominating in Formula Renault Formula Ford before it and it's to be hoped that the efforts that he's put in the season will interest people in taking him on again for a sports car drive next year a wheel wrong in that and in a very very good job and Gregoire to miss da who does more McLaren races because he drives in the duel has driven in the gt1 World Championship he was the one having the occasional indiscretion they brought it home so the top three teams leave the podium [Music] and in a few moments we're going to have a rather less busy podium I suspect the gentlemen trophy because we only started with three and we only finish with two but the drivers make their way headed by Robert hissing here Hershey yes number ones Robert hits him mostly up got two he's not there he should be and it's the Audi that wins the class in the championship even if not in the race but it's an Audi that does win a category within this last race of the series the JP motorsport car of yam brunstedt michael bender and daniel ruse a second win of the year for yan brunstedt and Michael bender Daniel ruse having his first victory because he wasn't at Silverstone when they score barely a success now where have they got to because we've got the second-place drivers there we hung up the class winners yet being gentlemen they are preferring to stay indoors but be good for the now bedraggled him and her sheet they could get on the podium wouldn't it so wherever they got to the car is in part fair mate so some of them of that yes back cams yeah brunch net out countdown your ruse Michael bender in the background to show me haven't had a few more cars over the course of the season of the gentlemen trophy but there are that moves afoot to try and boost the numbers for next year and encourage more people into that class so the Swedish team victorious in Spain [Music] [Music] so now the trophies will be presented and think that silver stone in the wind that JD motorsport had was a lap from home well here it's been a rather more dominant victory it's a shame the opposition self-destructed really with the damage to the Porsche with the damage to the Audi of Santa not racing who's drivers there look Robert hissing and yeah her she'd take the trophies what's happened to filly gieok I know not but it's not that but he was the man that did the third stint with the damage he Ambridge get there leading the applause and now the traitors will be brought out for the winged drivers and for the winning team navara for the second year has played host to a round of the brought pan endurance series last year round him gloriously hot in sunny conditions this year although the rain is now stopped down I mention it it has not helped the race by the rim weather we've had right at the very end so rain stops playing ybarra the drivers make their way to the press conference and a happy young brunette who did the bulk of his early racing and historic racing for the nice collection of historic racing cars including Chevron's he's got some super touring touring cars of the 1990s including a Vauxhall Vectra a car that all the triple-eight car that Peter brought raced at that first one super touring year bat yam branchnet now concentrated on problem GT racing let's look at the championship then because this is how we stand provisionally in the Pro Cup but christopher's and Stefan Ortelli win by three points over line does Martin and Paola up to third come Marc Goossens Mark Henry cheap and savvy a Marcin and rare Puccini fourth and then fifth branch Tipler and edward Sandstrom and lawrence vantur plus greg Franchi and frank ketchup with the BMW through their efforts they have the same number of points ahead of Rene Rast thus far 24-hour winner mathias lauda at miss Monza but he ends up nine forehead of suzhou regal and azam Thierry and that win puts düsseldorf mcavee key per nth into the hunt about 25 points ivar a parade also having scored points within pro-am this year because of course he was involved in that class in the sparse 24 hours when he drove on Iran racing well that is what Navarro looks like now it looks a lot sunnier earlier on in the day and we catch up on the pro-am situation in e-commerce and anemic heels crowned as the champions ahead of Andrea Bertolini you Jenny Ramos and Alessandro bono Cheney with jackhammer Petra Valley as the third of those be two for one drivers frustrated that their car ended up in the gravel and the recent good results from Black Falcon help Oliver Morley up to seventh in the class and the drivers now that are champions making their way back onto the podium and also gear has been found for the gentlemen trophy podium the PA Hershey Robert here's some take the championship 11 points up on Michael band remembrance check your commands doing a park season ends up third Daniel Deborah and Christian kaldur's apart season fourth ahead of the CDA Giovanna Lake and we pi are in the BiPAP Paulo and Rio see Benny no catch here and Pablo Palladino remember one at Monza with the Ferrari 430 but again they let do every round and so that cost them within the title race so on the podium we now have gentlemen trophy winners pro-am trophy program Cup winners and the Pro Cup winners their hotel eat meat and hasser along with Thomas and ma heels or AF Corsa and the gentlemen trophy winners are there as well so motto Ferraris team victorious within the crown class and it commerce and their receiving is amazing block man I didn't light it team wrt celebrates say to Santa lock out is winning you two classes and they of course up the celebrations begin also for an e-commerce 'im and for louima feels at the end of a championship season there's Stefan or our selves and behind the series may not approve of the way but I think he approves and what's been a great year of racing now has its customers perlie a bottle of champagne at the team and i think it's quite the right thing to do with a rather expensive modpack cloth is it so the drivers do the right thing hang onto those fireworks go off in the background on the pit wall here at navara and at the end of a championship year there are the drivers champions on the podium before they head now to the press conference and the season is done and dusted there'll be a lot to talk about after the race that's for sure is there going to be any post race discussion or repercussion surrounding LD and mark VDS bass line does certainly suggesting he wasn't happy with the way that team w our team had behaved in that race will you take it further well there anything that can be done well and I think we're done we'll wait and see for now we know provisionally who is the champion and who is a race winner here at lebara the brawl pan endurance series then at the end of its second year has once again provided full grids great racing and we'll look forward to season three with the same calendar more or less down to five races provisionally rather than six but the likes of moms are Silverstone spa paul ricard on the Nurburgring or due for a visit from the prompt an endurance series next year and once again it's been cracking season ashamed at the webber which has now become wetter again has stopped play and affected the way the championships could could have been decided but the team wrt it was a great draw great drive by Stefan all telly Christopher meet Christopher Haase not just here but across the course of the season and it adds up to give them the championship the pit straight at navara was in the sunshine over three hours ago it was busy with people now the page is deserted as the fans of headed for the dry the teams likewise and the rain still falls the wind is still there and the gray clouds hover above us as the team make their way now to the press conference hotel with a mother Ferrari discusses life so the final round of the prompt an endurance series has given us on have a lively almost three hours it was stopped with just under four and a half minutes to go let's have a look back some of the highlights at the last round it all began in the dry admittedly with a few clouds in the sky but from pole position it was a very apparent in the hexes McLaren that got the drop on the opposition he went storming clear as the lights went to green and the race got underway good start made by Gregoire diverse GA the trial urge his McLaren the AR T car up on the inside some cars ran out of Road at the first corner others gained ground best line is felt he'd been elbowed out wide by one of the TW arty Audi's he was certainly busy trying to work his way through traffic and early in the race Marco Bonanomi drove a very wide car to the chakra with Maxine Martin line has tried to defend from Mark Hannah Ricci he was also stuck behind Steve Hansen although eventually they would get past the portal it also passed the BMW off early when Erik demo and then we have further drama the contact between BMW and Ferrari they can pretty come to anything the Ferrari 52 started by Mike hommerson would have a spin although ultimately come home as the championship winning car early spots of rain meant the teams are on standby with wet tires but that rain didn't count to anything is on track mathias lauda forced his way past greg vladimirskyy the BMW looked good early on and then it just faded and faded and faded as Filipe Albuquerque and then Daniels mpre worked their way up the order as well Stefan Rosina went well in the first part of the race in the Lamborghini but he couldn't repel a charging Nicola Dom who went around the outside of him as they worked their way through turn one the most eh just managed to slow down the McLaren in time having got past Daniel xanpe Aires Ferrari and somehow missed hitting the back of the Vita for one BMW it was closed and then Lauda made his own mistake at the same corner turn 11 a few laps later went wide went up the escape Road and that opened the door for the Audi's to come / hommerson got it wrong in 52 Ferrari and have this self-induced spin he kept down at the gravel and ultimately would come through as a champion on track Rosina was busy battling against Gregoire the mousse cake the McLaren lined up to have a go at turn 11 and dive through on the inside line once the McLaren went past so the Lamborghini started to drop away for the ball Pacey's lost Duncan taffy was wearing to go so to Marquez pal Tula who took over from Maxine Martin from bass line ders after the first stint Maxine Martin biding his time for the third stint Felipe Albuquerque handed over number six to fracture Diplo and Ferraris coming into the pit laid in various states of repair 38 Scuderia Victoria shedding a wheel virtually and that gave one or two dramas for the Vita for one team Italy squad tapi found himself involved in a battle with the number six howdy there was a brush between the two of them McClaren got bundled out wide Frank shipler unable to find a way past him and a relieved Gregoire - miss Kay saw his car hang on to its place as Michael Malik at a spin in BMW 36 he got going again with lots of wheelspin as Oliver Jarvis amongst others got ready for the final stint by which stage the rain is coming that was to the detriment of Tsar Lambert who ran why to the number 5 McLaren and with a jammed wheel that's into the pit lane and into its garage went 57 but with the rain falling heavily the first safety car period was called and that meant that the circuit became very slippery indeed for the drivers and the teams and to work out what to do next about the choice of tire so a championship won by Audi and when the safety car came that meant that everybody had to line up behind and no overtaking committed frustration for the team's regular miss da had his spin again proving just how wet it was is able to recover and carry on and of course win the class at the safety car situation not ideal for anybody as safety car let them go and although it would be called back for the final few minutes of the race we did get a few more racing laps in the Audi team looking increasingly nervous because number three Maxine Martin was catching up lars banter had his spin put him off the road and dropped way way down the order in the number two Audi actually Martin spam - and avoidance of a sideways and then spinning Ferrari 71 and then there was more mayhem of Carl's pump and Mike Wainwright's cast stuck in the middle of the road the safety car came out once again and the number 41 out he became damaged after hitting the stationary number nine McLaren that lived to the pit lane and number two Audi was pulled out of the gravel 41 after the damage was repaired was able to rejoin they got the car back onto the pit apron dropped it down and then it was able to rejoin the race the wind picked up the rain got worse and the safety car became a permanent fixture to the end of the race the race director hoping that conditions would improve so that he could release the cars but the improvement in the weather conditions just never came and that therefore meant that the number three BMW was unable to have any chance of fighting about one more place was all it needed to be gaining it didn't happen and so Christopher Meese Christopher Haase and Stefan Ortelli came through to win not the race but the championship the race a win for Fred McAfee key staff düsseldorf and ivara parent the championship won by Mies parser and Ortelli we've had rain with had drama we've had controversy we've had some great racing across the year thanks to all of you for watching thanks to all those have been involved successful season for the Brockamp endurance series and from a wet and soggy navara from Haley Cox and in the pit lane and for me David Addison it's goodbye for now and join us in 2013 for more great racing in a superb championship farewell from Navarra [Music] you [Music] you
