I'd rather swap the engine out of a 747 than I would an SW20 :P

Wow, did anyone else see that massive crash?!

I get all my info off Lexus Europe they have a live feed and live Twitter that goes the whole race.They also have live GPS telling you where both LFA's are on track at all times.

#88 is now 72nd still 3rd in the SP8 class but is still on the charge recording alot of sub 9 min. laps with 6 hours to go.

Wicked battle for 3rd and 4th between the Audi an Benz, but looks like the Benz is going to take it with superior economy.

Time to sleep!

After being in the pits due to a rear end collision for over 2 hours and re-entering the race in 138th #88 managed to climb to a final overall placing of 42nd overall and 3rd in the SP8 class.

Yet another win for the Manthey RSR! Pretty impressive given the number of factory teams in the top class this year

Just found out more about #88 rear end collision apparently they got hit from behind under yellow flag conditions the car that hit them apparently missed the fact that they were under yellow and hence pretty much cost #88 its race as I think from indications of the VLN warm-up races I think the LFA's were a realistic top 10 finisher this year.
