Johnny Mowlem just answered my tweet about Brunis fastest lap 3.562 or 563

Wow you're famous!

On the Ferrari Davidson incident I think Ant was at fault as much as the other guy, the GT cars don't have to get out of the way for prototypes, it's up to the faster car to go the long way around or wait until the corner has been navigated.

Maybe also a bit of karma here to, I remember last year when Ant was trying to drive the single surviving Audi off the road last year.

Can't see that, Ant was more than half way past, the Ferrari turned in on the rear half of the Toyota which caused the spin, no way was that Ant's fault, the Ferrari should have the spacial awareness not to have turned into the corner...
Of course it's down to the lapped cars to get out the way, if it's not down to the slower cars to get out the way then why do they get blue flags..?

[458 Italia]

Of course they have the flags to let cars know they are being lapped but it's always been the way for GT cars to stick to their racing line when prototypes make a pass.

[Rob]

just checking up the regs, and couldnt find ACO regs, but found for GT racing on line based on the real rules from the FIA and ACO...

- 'BLUE FLAG RULE' - Extra care should be taken when lapping another car of a lower class (GT1 overtaking a GT2) in this case the GT2 driver should not move off line but allow the faster to go around when safe! Its the responsibility of the faster driver to pass safely. This is part of multi-class racing!

Darren has passed the #77 car to climb to fifth in GTE Pro.

[458 Italia]

I'd like to go the distance, but knowing me I'll make it until about 5 and then fall asleep!

I love endurance racing, more so than F1 these days, what with the tyre lottery, DRS making it too easy and stupid rule changes every year, but still when ever there's a Ferrari racing I'll be supporting it!
