34th overall - 8th in GTS) #77 Prodrive 550
36th overall - 11th in GT) #32 JMB 360

Looks like the #77 and #32 are moving up as the race gets older. I'm off now for the pre F-1 party, I might be able to watch it at the bar, but I won't have access to the site.

Only 3 Ferraris left, but these three are adding laps at a decent pace with no major problems. They'll start gaining on the teams with problems.

Well, 4 Ferraris are running right now. Prodrive #77 550 is still catching up slowly making up for it's 1st hour lost ground. It's laps are close to the fastest in the class. The other 3 360's are turning decent laps, but none of the 5 Ferraris have gone without some major problems.

1:45 hour in, 10:15 hours left.

27th overall - 7th in GT) #32 JMB 360
49th overall - 19th in GT) #31 JMB 360
51st overall - 9th in GTS) #77 Prodrive 550
56) GT #33 MSB 360
59) GTS #0 Olive Garden

Only the #32 360 and the #77 Prodrive 550 are running right now. 360 is doing ok with good lap times, but 2 laps back of class leader. #77 550 is a bunch of laps back because of the transmision they had to fix, but is now slowley working it's way back up with very good lap times. It's a top 3 car maybe if it holds the 12 hours.

1 hour in, 11 hours left.

26) GT #31 JMB 360
34) GT #32 JMB 360
54) GTS #77 Prodrive 550
55) GT #33 MSB 360
59) GTS #0 Olive Garden

#77 GTS 550 was doing really well right on the Vettes and Vipers, but then it had transmission problems. Olive Garden car is having major problems. Evidentley they started building the car this week! Talk about last second. I guess this is a testing session for them. See flashes of the GT 360's and they're doing ok, but still behind the leading Porsches.

Anyone see how the Audi's change their brakes. It only take 24 seconds to change the pads and rotors. No tools required. They undo a clip on the caliper and without moving the caliper out of the way they slide the pads out the side and then the rotor comes right out and they put a new one in.

The Dyson car had a hard off on the end of the straight. It looks like it lost it's brakes and just spun it to scrub some speed. Hard impact, but driver is ok. They brought out a full course yellow.

43) GT #33 MSB 360 2:10.913
