    If JG's SCG003 complies with FIA GT3 rules it could challenge here as well. There are 2 privately built cars here IIRC, one GT Corse (Germany)458 GT3 and the Emil Frey (Switzerland) Jaguar XK GT3

    I have also read that Alfa Romeo is returning with the 4C Competizione GT3. If this is true, we will see a lot of competition!

    Huge train behind the GTR.

    I see tears.

    Also, everytime I see the GTR i'm surprised at how huge it is and still able to do so well against other GT3 cars!

    So many cars crashed out now apparently they ran out trucks to recover them all, hence the long yellow period.

    Our own Peter Mann is currently 11th overall, and 1st in class.

    Lets hope he doesn't get caught up in all the carnage and will finish on the podium! Long race ahead still.

    Andrew Howard with suspected concussion but ok besides that.

    Tim Mullen is en route to hospital but is conscious. More updates on him later.

    I wonder how many laps the Aventador safety car can do before he needs to refuel?
