Watch out for Roo's! Also make sure the crew takes everything out of the car before the race starts!

I love this track. I love GT racing. It's a good day.

As for the tape roll left in the car, I can confirm that this happens with the top amateur teams too...

Stuff left in the car? that can't be good. At least there isn't a crew member asleep in the trunk or something. Although, a crew member in the trunk would make for some pretty awesome mafia-style ballast. I just hope for the guy's sake it's a smooth track.

The driver of the Lamborghini that hit the roo found he had a roll of duct tape in the car when It fell into the footwell just before he hit the roo and of course afterward. The interview after he got it back to the paddock was, um, a bit vigorous.

Yes, I believe he threatened a crew member with a too reenactment.

Best quote of the day was a BMW driver who was taken by surprise in the bathroom by an early driver change stop - "I took a few minutes to enjoy my own company..."

Oooh, that isn't the type of Hot Asian on Asian action one expected to see right now. Glad both drivers are safe.

At least Japan finally figured out how to defeat Godzilla without Mothra. Just took a little Italian pasta :/

Great Mercedes / Maclaren battle on the sharp end. 6 classes of racing and lots of traffic make for some great moments.

My brother is at the track ATM - getting the blow-by-blow via SMS...

How does this track always provide such great racing? F1, Nascar, Tudor - this is what we wnt to see.

I keep hearing that Palmer motorsports park (new track they're building here in mass) is going to be very bathurst like. I can't wait!

A lot of wild shortcuts through the chase going on.

I camped behind the hill at the chase in 1996 for the V8Supercar race, the event is amazing, the infield antics are even better.

Shoutout for the Shelby Daytona Coupe! Fastest car down the straight is impressive against new McLarens, Ferraris, Lambos, Mercedes and Audi's. Especially for a body designed by hand before computers in the 60's!
