LMES Spa 1000Km - Start
Start
Cold and foggy is the name of the game here at Spa Francorchamps 1000km. The curtain-raiser for the Le Mans Endurance Series kicked off at 12 noon under conditions of very poor visibilty. Two hours into the race, #17 Pescarolo leads #15 Zytek and the handicapped #4 Oreca Audi.
With one hour to go the #15 Zytek led the #4 Audi and #17 Pescarolo. The #52 Ferrari leads GT1 and TVR #81 GT2. The Safety Car is currently out after an incident between #35 and #36
#4 Audi entered the pits with no front at 17:06 (Gounon) extending the yellow flag period. Gounon managed to have a moment behind the safety car at the exit from the bus-stop chicane. This promotes #7 DBA to 3rd and Pesca' to 2nd.
The race will run to full 6 hours as it is unlikely to complete the distance with so many laps with the pace car.
We did not to bad 3rd in class in LMP2 in the old car. :)
