Super pole soon:
Pole lap was nuts, not going to spoil it. That car was set up absolutely perfectly though, so planted.
Not that grid position is going to mean much overall!

Pole lap was so stunning it got thrown out, heh 
This is gonna be interesting.

Love this race! Always look forward to it every year
Given the lack of detail I can only assume Meyrick went up Radillon at full chat as usual, and perhaps a bit wide, and ran head-on into the 111 Lambo ( I think that managed to spin to a stop without even touching the barrier at that point ) which he wouldn't have been able to see from the bottom of the hill. That'd be something like a 220kmh - at least - impact. How they made it out of that relatively ok is something of a miracle, I was preparing for the worst at the time...
Was a fairly interesting race up to the last couple of hours when it all settled down. Manthey dropped the ball! no clean sweep for them - I do actually feel slightly sorry about that because winning N24/LM/Spa24 in one year would be a hell of a thing - but they've not been on top form in Blancpain anyway. Seems to have been considerable luck needed - the Blancpain FCY followed by a SC which seems to be there just to clear the road for the lead car a bit makes a real mess of any strategising, as does throwing a FCY all the time. 76 Aston was P2 from last on the grid at one point, the cautions cost it two laps in a race where it didn't put a foot wrong on track. Spa is long enough for Code 60 zones, I think.
