FIA GT - 24 Hours of Spa Update

Update at 19:26

GT1: The Zakspeed Saleen (above) just took third place from the Corvette. Unfortunately the Vette has been having some engine troubles, requiring 8L of oil every stop. It is currently unknown whether they will continue or not as they are losing ground fast. The Zakspeed is pushing now, with only 5:30 left, lapping consistently below 2:22 - in the 2:18-2:19 range, while the two lead cars are lapping a second or two slowed than the Saleen. The two leading cars, still the Phoenix Aston Martin and the Vitaphone Maserati (below) are together on the track, with the Maserati trying to get onto the lead lap. As I type this is has just done it and has a five or fifteen second gap - about two minute down, but on the same lap.


GT2: A Spyker (below) broke into the top three, splitting pairs of Ferrari 430s. So the top five is Ferrari, Ferrari, Spyker, Ferrari, and Ferrari. This team just dropped out of the ALMS season to contest the FIA GT's last few races, and a third place finish would be wonderful for them.
