“Hey.”
“What?”
“If you overtake someone, but it’s become so dark that nobody sees you do it, does it still count as an overtake?”
“…………”
“Oh, never mind. That’s probably why they invented head lights, isn’t it?” -
The sky is pitch black, there’s thunder & torrential rain outside… if I ignore the worrying gurgling in the drainage pipes all over the house, watch #GTWorldChEU Magny-Cours race 1 from under my bed blankets (I’m hiding) is quite scenic.
-
You have to work very hard for it for 24 hours straight, but the reward is a very nice view indeed. Moving the podium here has been one of the better ideas of the past 100 years.
-
The music part of my brain has kicked in. That background music we are hearing, isn’t that the original #FIAGT #BlancpainGT music?? I’ve secretly always preferred it over the music we’ve had for the past few years so I’m rather pleased to hear it again.
-
Perhaps we should’ve put some weights next to the podium stage, because Sørensen and Thiim are so desperate for a proper physio cool down that they’ve turned Drudi into a dumbell.
-
It turns out the answer to this question is ‘YES’. Congratulations Comtoyou and Aston Martin for claiming the 2024 overall victory in the Spa 24 Hours!
-
Normally I’d talk to the tv to tell a driver to calm down and keep their cool. However, under the circumstances I can understand only too well why Pier Guidi probably has steam coming out his ears.
-
There’s always a corner on the track where the most pivotal move of the race takes place. However, I really didn’t think that it was going to be this corner. Or that the move would be made by a marshal.
-
We started with 66 cars, but have only just over 42 left now. It seems that during the past 23 hours, a lot of odds weren’t in anyone’s favour…
-
In a weird sort of way, having a barrier clash tear a wheel clean of your car just before the pitlane entrance is less bad than this; getting a puncture at the back of the circuit. Reaching the pitlane feels like it takes aaaaaages.

You know your 24-hour race is a popular event when Thor personally shows up to cheer on the competitors. #AllTheDrama
-
I’d like to think we’re safe now because the thunderstorm has come and gone, and the track has dried and it’s now the middle of an early summer Sunday afternoon, but… why do all those cars have their headlights on?
-
The commentators are trying to think of a third Danish driver to join the Dane train Aston Martin of Thiim and Sørensen. I wish there were a way to tell them that Michelle Gatting is at Spa, literally without a race car. I’m sure she’d be happy to help.
-
Meanwhile in my messenger app.
“Valentino hit Nicolò!”
“Since when are you on a first-name basis?”
“Since never. But saying Rossi hit Rosi sounds stupid.”
“But we can read it in writing and it’s spelled differently.”
“BUT I CAN HEAR IT IN MY HEAD.”
-
Come to Spa, they said. It’ll be nice and relaxing, they said.
-
Back watching the #Spa24h stream. It seems has pretty much dried up. I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised about this, since David Addison is now in the commentary booth.
-
I know the GT community is a tight-knit ensemble, but perhaps this tea party is getting a little bit too cosy.
-
-
Oh, that’s practical. The Crowdstrike Mercedes has a handle on the front, so mechanics can pick it up more easily and shove it into the back of the truck after the race.
-
Ouch ouch ouch I’ve slammed my ankle into the side of the live stream laptop at the foot of my bed. SAFETY CAR. Aaaargh.
-
The 63 has been repaired and is back on track. And look where the Iron Lynx crew got the spare bonnet from. “Women driven by dreams”. Go go go IronDamatteo Cairoli!
-
The JP Motorsport cars are about to start their final journey. Of the season anyway. #GoingHome

Albums from the races I’ve been to so far in 2022, from oldest to newest.
All photos taken by me on a Canon EOS 2000D. Pointers appreciated. 2023 albums will be posted as I take/edit them.IMSA Roar Before the 24: https://imgur.com/a/GXi8RyU

Training’s almost done and car 38 is still running! This makes me happy, because the last time I saw Samantha Tan race at #NLS3 her car broke down in the early-morning session and that was it for the entire event. Fingers crossed for more luck this weekend.

There is a man going through the paddock on a #BeAnIronDame step scooter. Is that allowed? Or is that against the rules?
-
I went to pay a visit to the most beautiful car on the grid. #BeAnIronDame

Weather is going to be a thing today. It’s raining on and there’s a very strong winds. The #FRECA cars are literally being pushed towards the gravel in Tarzan corner because of it. (Also, my hair is now a mess.)
