Spun at Galgenkopf on lap 3.

Pitted at the end of lap 3, Brian took over.
We were overtaken in the pits, currently 2nd place 21.7 seconds behind the leader Munoz.

With fresher tires, Brian retakes the lead on lap 4.

We only took on tires during our first pit, no fuel to save time.

Due to technical difficulties we are unable to have a practice setup.
Varga's PS3's RCA and COMPONENT port is not working.

If anyone is willing to bring their PS3 over so we can have a practice setup that would be great!

Varga takes over for the start of lap 10.

Jason...how come we can't watch the race from the lounge area ??

Varga misfueled the car on the last pit stop.
It went into fuel saving mode on final straight. Pulling into the pits now.

It's starting to rain.

Harrod and Mike B arrived.

They're in A-spec, so no lounge. Sorry. Come on over...
I think they are going to try to get the webstreaming up shortly. Jason's driving now so once he taps out he'll probably look at it.

I think the secondary PS3 is also up and running for other games and/or qualifying.

Brian driving in the rain, just lapped the Courage - Judd GV5 who is in 2nd place at the moment, so we are about 8mins ahead.

It's dark now, need headlights. There is a little light in the sky but not much.

Brian pits at the end of lap 34 for fuel and tires.

Harrod takes it out to start lap 35, inters on front & rear.
The 2nd place car unlapped him self while we were in the pits.
We're still 10:18seconds ahead of him.

Brian's taking off soon, so we're looking for drivers and/or entertainment to help us stay awake.

The rain, darkness and late hour are taking a toll. Can't wait for day break.

Stilll raining, Varga has been using the full wet tire since the last pitstop.

Varga just woke from his nap.
7:45am, over 1/2 way.

Jason pits at the end of lap 79, 1 lap and 3:30 ahead.
Varga takes the wheel for the start of lap 80.

Still raining, still pitch dark (it's only 3:45am in Germany)

So far in the dark/rain Varga's best lap was a 9:28.
Jason ran a personal dark/rain best of 9:02 and Harrod was around the 10min mark.

The computer is running a little over 10mins per lap, so we are putting a nice buffer in.

Driving in the rain and the dark is not fun. One or the other, not both at the same time. I opted that we restarted around the 5 hour mark to see if we would get no rain, but there were no takers. See you in a few hours. Good Luck.

THe sun is up, but the rain continues. Varga is running lap 95, and they are currently two laps up on the AI. Jason is trying to catch a few minutes of sleep, and I'm making breakfast (hint hint...)
