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.
