I have just watched the qualifying and there was some amazing driving by Kenny Brack in damp conditions about 5-10 minutes before the end of the session.

Race is at 3pm UK time on Saturday.

I am looking forward to being there on Sunday

True. And some are afraid to drive their GTs because they may get a stone chip. lol

He was pushing it a lot harder than the other folks on that wet track. He definitely had a lead foot and liked to feel his tires breaking loose. As I watched it, I was thinking how easy it is to recover from spinning tires while in a straight line, but was wondering when he was going to go into a corner too fast which can't be recovered as easily by just letting off the gas. He did well.

Saturday the rack was dry. Nbr 2 ( blue metallic) was the car on the tarck. Through the corner, spinning wheels and drift. Than shoot of like an arrow. Those guys were not sparing the cars. Amazing.
I've recorded the warmup of all cars together and will try to post it.
