Guess I got the start time wrong. Damn confusing German time. It actually started 2 hours ago, and the first link is working perfectly now

Look at the Mini Cooper go...

I enjoyed as much as I can. However, I got in late and all of the cars were too spaced out for much action. =(

Should've seen the first half. Drivers in all classes were tailing each other to spook them out lol.

But yeah, spread-out laps are common in endurance racing. It's all about building the best pacing strategy to win it all, especially since the timer is a major factor and not the number of laps. A driver doesn't have to be the fastest around the course to take the checkered flag for his class.

Yup, didn't a Corvette team win the 24h of Daytona some time ago?
