True, but I think nurb makes up for it! The promoter was rubish any way and people didn't like it. Who knows, we might see a Brazil round in the future as they start to up the number of races.

Yeah, Interlagos is off calendar because of renovation work this year, I think it'll be done by the end of 2016 but I'm not sure.

God knows when it's going to be done. Nurb has never seen top flight sports cars I think so it going to be a very interesting race!

It'll soon be time to wake this thread up again ! Will Audi overcome the challenge ? Or will Porsche get things straight and dominate the remainder of the season ? Will Nissan win the 2015 most pathetic Japanese come back in motorsport award over Honda in F1 ? (Well that is to be answered later this year anyway but the forfeit for this weekend scores good points )

omg that's brilliant Quite annoyed, for spa I thought it was a sunday race but missed it as it was Saturday. So checked the other day and I could have sworn it said tomorrow, which made sense being bank holiday. Put MotorsTV on and it said Live WEC, assumed it was Qualy/practice, nope, race, so annoyed. But seeing webber take the final stint that far ahead cheered me up Shame I missed the first 5 hours but it looked a great battle. And that performance by Webba though, masterclass

No, on the LMP1 side it was the less agitated race of the season, the only noticeable thing was the #18 Porsche which took 1:30 min of stop & go combined (or more ? I lost the count lol) for exceeding fuel flow limit and still managed to finish ahead of the Audis. A real Masterclass. The action was mainly in the GT classes, it may be down to the track itself. Mark was in the car earlier by the way, not only a the end. Anyway the 52 min highlights program will be available and it's much more watchable than 6h straight !

the final LMP battle looked good to me, saw the issues with Ferrari/Porsche in GT
Oh before I forget, why did the nissans not run? I know LMP1 wanted to leave, but there was no Zytek or GT-R's running?

Yeah right the three way battle with the 18 and the Audis. Never been GT-Rs in GT class and if you're talking about Greaves I guess they only take part in Le Mans, they run in ELMS. But half the LMP2 field is powered by Nissan engines

Err, no mate it's rather late at night. Well yeah it finishes around 5am BST I believe if that's what you meant. But it's Saturday so unless you're going to the church or something it's ok Fuji on the other hand is from 3 to 9 am Last year I was on a Marathon, 1000km of Bathurst from midnight to ~6/7ish, 6h Fuji start at 3, then until 9 (switching from one to another ) then Russian GP at 1pm, barely slept that day. Hope this year those events are split.
