That in-car w/ Estre was quality - working that Porsche about.

Ps, finally mentioned that Caddy penalty.

If Cadillac can keep the car in one piece and reliable, I have that for a win.

He really was on the ragged edge, it was captivating, can't believe how loose he got in that last chicane!

15 BMW will start at the back of the hypercar field (but in front of the Jota Porsche).

Surely at the back of the Hyperpole field,

The No 2 Cadillac should be 7th with its penalty, so who will be 6th? The BMW or the Jota?

As Laurens would say, that was just Kevin doing Kevin things.

What a lap. From inside the cockpit, it looked far from perfect, just incredible car control throughout.

Well done to Inception and AO.

Even more buzzing for Sat now.

Derani in the 311 Cadillac moaning that the Toyota in front of him must have (illegal) tyre warmers because it's driven away from him.

No...the driver in front is faster than you.
