Expect to see Audi more on top of their game this weekend and not having their cars out in the wet on full slicks as they were at Silverstone. They've got to crawl back into the championship and so far the fastest in early practice. Spa WEC: Loic Duval puts Audi on top in wet first practice - WEC news - AUTOSPORT.com BHW
Spa is a magic track for sports cars. Do we have the same live streaming access we had for Silverstone? Watch Fia World Endurance Championship Silverstone Live Stream Online BHW
I am looking for links and haven't found one yet. I am sure there is one I am just not good at locating one. I tried to just pay for the coverage with the WEC website and my bank cancelled my cards.
We complain about F1 cars sound but that Audi LMP1 in car just shows that these things sound just as bad if not worse!
Interesting race so far. Curious how the Audis are so much slower than the Porsches and Toyotas. Also, good to see spectators there. The grandstands look practically full and lots of people circulating out on the circuit, better than Silverstone which looked like a ghost town. BHW
Turned out to be electrical. Romain was able to do a reset from behind the wheel. They are saying though that using the curbs is what hurt the 20 car.
Too bad. The #14 Porsche looked indecently quick at the start. Hindbaugh & Co. may be on to something when they say that Porsche have something trick going on in their suspensions. BHW
It is interesting I wonder what they have going on there. The one thing is the curbs at SPA are generally taller than normal aren't they? That's why AUDI purposely stays clear of them. Perhaps the Porsche just got to aggressive.
I've been saying all along that Porsche never gets involved in top line racing without some advantage in the rules. Rather thought it would have been some trick ERS but it appears they've got a trick suspension setup. That said, they showed well and took the early lead showing they've got the legs of the Toyotas and Audis. Interesting race, good for the winning Toyota and second place Audi and Ferrari P1 in GTE.

Watched most of it on Justin TV. Took these pics there in 2010. One of my favorite tracks. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Everyone has been so focused on the Porsche vs Audi battle, so many neglected Toyota. They are flying! Le Mans will be great, this year!
That was the claimed attendance at Silvestone too. The difference was, you couldn't see anyone in the stands or out on the circuit at Silverstone but at Spa the stands were full and plenty of people milling around the circuit. The stage is set for Le Mans. After the race, Tom Kristensen was quoted as saying "We are not the favorites at Le Mans this year". Thats pretty strong coming from him given Audi's record at Le Mans.

Le Mans will be great this year. Very happy to see Toyota have such a beast of a car. Unfortunately this race was so boring I turned the tv off after 2 1/2 hours. Hate to say it, but it's true.
I disagree. I was engaged the entire time with in car cams and just overall seeing how each driver could do. Audi using a car just for LeMans info and seeing the difference. GT battles the whole time. It was good stuff. Stepped away for maybe 10 mins total. Now today's race at Laguna Seca is a snooze.
