Although it’s also nice to see them in a proper race against a car of similar speed.

if he's saying Forza Ferrari he's watching the LMGTE-Am race and no-one cares.

It's basically what they came up with to separate their 2 Ford GTs when they first brought them in, one of them has US drivers and the other is UK drivers.

I think it's actually Chip Ganassi US runs the IMSA Ford GTs and they have a smaller UK branch that runs the WEC Ford GTs.

Both accidents had that weird brown smoke develop at roughly the same time they stopped turning at roughly the same point.
The Ford GT accident could be that Tincknell lost front end grip because he was following the one in front too close into Eau Rouge and he locked up trying to get the car to point properly.

...meanwhile good to see Sportscar racing retains its inherent sportscar-ness, even in TYOOL 2018: https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/news/sports-cars/manor-pulls-out-spa-6-hours

quote:

TRS Manor has been forced to withdraw from this weekend's 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, the opening round of the World Endurance Championship 'superseason', as Ginetta cites a lack of payment.

this obviously is not a good thing but so typically sportscar to have the organizations turfed by lovely "yeah don't worry we've got money" people.

Dragonspeed confirmed that Fittipaldi's crash was due to an electrical gremlin. He has a compound fracture though :stonk:

The first complaint about BoP in the superseason goes to...


FERRARI!

It's magical how Ferrari (AF Corse, Ferrari themselves probably don't give a poo poo) only finds problems with the regulations when they don't suit them.

Ford and Porsche mostly reserve themselves publicly so they can try and undermine it more effectively by just going to the bossman.
BMW doesn't tend to publicly criticize it because they need all the bonuses they can get. Like they just whine about how they were hard done by and how their car isn't a colossal pile of garbage (it is) and get some small bonus back (that does nothing because the m8 is hot garbage).
This is the first season in a while where Aston Martin are going to be hot garbage.
