erm... I fell asleep, as I've been trying to follow the race. I've still got my ear buds in and listening to radiolemans and I've got two slightly different video streams on the go.

#123 is now up to 41st place, having done 62 laps, and therefore still first in a class of two, the second in class being the Team Nissan GT-R in 82nd place on 57 laps.

This is the feed im watching and listening to Radio Le Mans(www.radiolemans.com)  feed which I have to say is fantastic.

Lucas Ordonez is on after the top of the hour update.

4 Hour Endurance today this afternoon 

There in 38th Place and 16 laps down. Still going ok.

There are only two SP 8T cars, the two NISSAN GT-Rs. The other one is now down to 80th place, so something must have happened to the white #23 car.

The Team GT Academy car is the black #123.

RadioLeMans stated yesterday that the Classes SP8 and SP8T are banded together for the overall class wiiner.

Well, they're 18 laps down now but moved up to 34th place. Gotta say well done, so far, for avoiding all that carnage. Maybe the early puncture was a blessing in disguise :-)

bit of a dramatic ending feel sorry for the Clio driv er though

But Kaz , Ordonoz, Schulze and Yamamoto19 laps down but finished in 32nd position and top of their class. Well done.

Now to carry on with my 4 hour enduance race on the Green hell 23 minutes in 3hours and 37 minutes to go.

That's it then. 30th overall and nineteen laps down. First in class and (supposedly) third in grouped class.

That has to be one of the oddest race finishes that I've ever seen.

Apparently, the only plan was to have both cars finish and they did.

Good going Team GT Academy!

I think that places them third in the SP8 class, first in SP8T.

SP8T is limited to 4 litre turbo engines, SP8 is 4L to 6.25L non-turbo engines, so that flat tire certainly hurt them.
