Can't wait for the race to start!
Let's just hope it doesn't get red flagged and delayed for x hours ... I gotta work in the morning ...

Go Schumi!

Less than 3 hours to go,
2 Audi's hitting the wall in a few minutes time !

:O

From Twitter:

"Anthony Davidson has tweeted from the hospital that he has a broken back from the earlier incident in the No.8 Toyota"



-edit-
Seems it was posted earlier, must have missed it, my bad.

Other Toyota ( #7 ) out of the race too

Quote from ACCAkut :

damn, I keep getting thrown out of the justin.tv streams "Maximum connection for your country have been reached"

Vipbox.tv has working livestreams

Fantastic to see those old cars race!

The weather looks absolute crap!
Hope it doesn't ruin the 24hrs.

Go AUDI!

It's going to be an interesting race!

Webber on pole, but he has a problem with starts and often stuffs it up.
Next to him is Rosberg who usually has a flying start.

Going to be a thriller T1!


Massive crashes in GP2, GP3, lets hope the guys in F1 use their skills and keep it accident free.

Maldonado and Perez at the back of the field, going to have to fight thru the entire field if they want points. I wonder how they will go with each other at T1 seeing they had an eventful weekend already.

Schumi is going to be red hot and very annoyed in P6 ... hope his car doesn't lose any bits during the pitstop and he manages to brake in time ...

My money's on Webber, god he needs this win badly!
If not Webber, Hamilton or Massa please.

T-minus 3 hours till start.

Current weather: partly cloudy
Forecast: (later) afternoon shower (Chance of rain: 30%)

Let it be EPIC!

I'm really looking forward to this race.

It's going to be exciting today with most of the favorites spread out all over the grid.
I hope Alonso wins tho.

And please replace Massa with Bottas.

Thx for the link!

Grats to Rosberg, well done.
Sad to see Schumi out again, would have loved to see him on the podium ...

I missed Webber doing his "wheelie", any vids out there of this?

Anyway, exciting race, great season.
Can't wait for the next race, next weekend!!!

Great race!
Kept me busy all day

Quote from DarkTimes :

Was it just the camera or was Vettel's dash going haywire?

Looked like it.


Was an OK GP imo.
Rain could have spiced it up more but we can't always get what we want.

Go Schumi !

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

... I never expected to come back home from work and see that he got a 5 place grid penalty. You get the same penalty for changing too many gearboxes, or blocking someone on a fast lap in qualifying.

^ This.


Unbelievable.
Even more so after seeing the other vids of previous crazy stuff he's caused.
1 Race ban would be the start if it was up to me.

Quote from DarkTimes :

I was unhappy to see Heidfeld replaced, but I'm actually quite impressed by Senna's performance, he's doing a really solid job considering.

Same here.

Senna just qualified in 7th place.
He beat Alonso and his team mate Petrov.
Very nice imo.

Looking forward to tomorrow's Race.

Bruno S into Q3 ! Nice to see him getting his stuff together.
Maldonardo ... what are you doing ? :/
Button, ouchy

God I love Belgian weather ... exciting quali

Quote from N I K I :

This month of wait felt like a damn year... finally formula 1 is back and finally with a proper track.
I'm hoping for some rain too, to spice up Schumi's 20th anniversary.

Ditto!

Can't wait for it, I'm watching this race, no matter how long it takes (like the Canadian GP).

Bring on the rain!

What a boring race imo.
None of the big guns had real battles, pffft.

Watching the Audi.TV live-stream,
good quality, no lag (usually a big problem for me from Australia).

Easier to watch the 24h live-stream than watch the F1 :/

Track is wet atm, going to be an interesting first lap

Great idea to go full throttle and try to spin your car around when the rest of the field is trying to get around you ...

Quote from dadge :

i think it was the NV7900GS that was Nvidias last AGP card.

Yep that's correct.

The rest of your system is very old and will limit your performance.

Try and find someone with a card like that who will let you try it before you pay big money to get one from somewhere to find out your system doesn't work with it.
It's an old board, wouldn't surprise me if it just doesn't boot at all with that card in it.
(Used to have an Abit KT7a myself, it didn't like my TI-4400 much either)

Quote from heson :

To be fair, it landed very close to the car (centimeters from the car) but quickly bounced away to the edge of the track. But his defence claiming to leave the car quickly is horrible, he is very safe while belted in the car, to be located on the track without seat belts is astronomically more dangeorus.

I was under the impression that drivers were required to put the steering wheel back in the car after they get out.
So throwing it out ain't gonna make it easier.

But I can see how frustration would have gotten the better of him ...

Mercedes appeals stewards decision: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/83686

And they need to look into Barrichello throwing his steering wheel onto the road ... which a car ran over shortly after.
Completely NUTS.

There

And yes your reply made me look at it differently.

But i still want an official reply from the crew to rule out confusing 100%.

Quote from CSF :

:chairs:

Try not contradicting his post given you are on the bloody IGTC waiting list!
- Read Broe's post again.

I've read all of this thread and i downloaded the PDF rules and read thru them.

Where does it say that being on the waiting list for IGTC automaticly bans you from GTAL?
I thought it said "no IGTC experience".
Our team has no previous endurance racing experience in any league so i do not see why we would not be allowed to "apply" to GTAL. We are not and have not participated in any endurance league so far.

Does being on the waiting list = participating?

From the rules of GTAL:


Does participating = be on the waiting list? Or does it mean actually start/drive 1 race or more?

Does "have an entry" = be on the waiting list? Or does it mean start/drive 1 race or more?

This is a bit unclear to me.
Could you please clarify this so its 100% clear what is meant by this.

As far as i know none of the SCCC endurance team drivers have ever driving in GTAL, IGTC or MoE. Therefor we seem to be eligible to apply for GTAL, right?

I'm not trying to start a fight or anything, i would just like to have this cleared up so we (SCCC) know what to do.

I grabbed the software, i'll give it a go tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
