FIA WEC/ALMS, 12 Hours of Sebring - Hour Two Into the second hour and we have and Audi 1-2-3 at the moment. Pit stops still taking place - the Corvettes making their pit stops. JWA-Avila Porsche #55 rolling down pit lane - question is, will they be classified as they had to be on track within the hour. It's now 1 hour and 6 minutes since the green flag. McNish leads by some 40 seconds. Gap between Bernhard and Fassler is just a couple of seconds. The second pit stop for McNish after 32 laps. Guillaume Moreau lapping the #28 Gulf Racing Middle East Lola - using all the available space on the finish straight - dust kicking up as he crosses the white line and closes in on the concrete wall. After McNish stopped it is now Timo Bernhard who leads the Sebring 12 Hours. Fassler second, McNish third. Strakka Racing HPD ARX-03a is back on pit lane for the third time - drops them down the order. Three-wide again on the straight, JRM Racing's David Brabham zig-zagging to pass slower cars. GT leading BMW pits - Aston Martin Racing is now in the lead at Sebring. The Aston Martin Vantage is currently over a second quicker than its rivals. Team Falken Tire already back into third in GT. Bad luck for the BMW team. The #56 is back in pit for a stop-and-go, penalty for speeding in the pit lane. Guillaume Moreau, who started from the back of the field, is already back in fifth place and catching Klaus Graf. Impressive run by the French driver. Strakka Racing's pit stops earlier didn't go as planned. Watts took over after Kane complained about pain in his leg. Had to be helped getting out of the car - and the team was given a stop-and-go for that. Almost an hour and a half gone and we only have 7 cars left on the lead lap. All Audi's, Muscle Milk Pickett Racing, OAK Racing, JRM Racing and Rebellion Racing #12. Aston Martin pits from the GT lead - strong performance so far from Turner. Mucke taking over. Fassler spun after hitting the Luxury Racing Ferrari - no happy faces at Audi at the moment. Leader Timo Bernhard stuck in heavy traffic - nowhere to go for the Swiss. Pit stop time for the Porsches. #77, #17. #55 back in. Right before that, Henzler moved into the lead of the GT class. Rebellion Racing #13 is back out on track for another attempt. Pit stop for the #1 Audi of Marcel Fassler - fuel, tyres and a driver change. Andre Lotterer gets in the car. Moreau pits - and is then joined in the pit by the #3 Audi from the lead. From the pits: Earlier problem for the #51 seems to have been clutch - not gearbox Gear change compressor issue on the #13 Rebellion Lola. McNish leads at Sebring after 50 laps - a minute ahead of Klaus Graf and a further 15 seconds over teammate Lotterer. After Graf pitted the order is restored to an Audi top three. McNish, Lotterer and Dumas. Neel Jani best of the rest. Overtaking on the straight is crazy - brave moves as cars are three wide. Despite the #55 JWA-Avila Porsche starting the race over an hour later than planned they will be included in the standings. Unlike the ALMS there is no 1-hour rule in the FIA WEC. Isn't it great to have different regulations for one race? It is one of the reasons why there are TWENTY-FIVE people working in race control to monitor this race. McNish pits from the lead - completed 55 laps. Tom Kristensen is now behind the wheel of the #2 Audi. Kristensen returns to the track - and the #2 Audi R18 is still in the lead. #17 Team Falken Tire Porsche has gone behind the wall - too bad after a great start. The moving map graphic on timing and scoring looks like a Pac Man game. Seth Neiman, (relatively) fresh out of the #044 Flying Lizards Porsche observed that "There are a number of people out there that clearly have a thing or two to learn about mixed class racing – I’m sure they’ll learn by the end of the race!" Stephane Sarrazin had enjoyed his first stint in the Starworks HPD "It’s a very fast car. I got the lead back (from Pla) with the Safety car and we’re very pleased with the way things are going." Tim Pappas explained that the very early stop for the #54 Black Swan Lola HPD was "A little miscommunication – We’re out of sequence now but that might play our way later in the race. There are no problems otherwise, we’re approaching this, with a very new programme, as a long test – If we can pick up points of course we’ll take them!" Greaves Motorsport were another LMP2 outfit that were very happy with their lot, Jacob Greaves reporting "No problems at all" for the #41 Zytek Nissan, the car has led the class for a while though was passed by Pla for the lead as the DSC Editor popped by the team awning. Green Hornet Racing Porsche had a brief off - the GTC car is back on now. Two hours completed... LMP1 is now Kristensen, Lotterer and Dumas LMP2 leader is Ryan Hunter-Reay (#95). Luis Perez-Companc (#49) is second and Enzo Potolicchio (#44) is third. Junqueira still leads PC, ahead of Friselle and Henri Richard. No change compared to the end of hour one. Makowiecki leads GT for Luxury Racing, Milner and Bertolini are second and third. Krohn Racing's Jonsson in the GTE-AM lead, Larbre is second and third (#50 second, #70 third). And finally GTC it is' Leh Keen, Kevin Estre and Dion von Moltke. Hour 2 Summary - Settled Patterns This hour has seemed to indicate a return to Sebring tradition. That is, the early hours are all about establishing pace and consistency, and less about wheel-to-wheel racing. Having said that there was a long dice between the No. 71 Ferrari (Beretta and later Andrea Bertolini) and the similar F458 of Melo (later Frederic Makowiecki). There were of course problems. Andrea Belicchi had a long stop with the No. 13 Lola-Toyota as the shift linkage appeared to be in rebellion. Bryan Sellers pulled into the garage as the No. 17 Porsche’s new motor was still not right. The hour featured lots of good news in the form of strong stints and rises through the field by several cars. These included the No. 12 Rebellion Lola-Toyota with Neel Jani running a long opening session. Luis Diaz, relieved by Ryan Hunter-Reay brought the No. 95 HPD to level one in P2. The same class saw a strong run by the Pecom Oreca-Nissan with first Pierre Kaffer and then Luis Companc at the wheel. The PC class still was dominated by the No. 9 RSR entry (Roberto Gonzalez taking over). That’s rather a surprise given how competitive and even the cars are. The GTC class saw a new leader with Leh Keen completing a long sting the No. 022 AJR Porsche. He did suffer a puncture and possible suspension damage at the end of the hour. This handed the class to a very well driven No. 11 all-gold JDX car with Kevin Estre at the wheel since the start. JW |
