That's a lot of contact! There's bad blood between the Kia and Mini camps due to prior contact, if I recall correctly. (Sad that I can recall this fact but can't remember my anniversary.)

Seth - it was nice that they gave you credit in the vid for James tagging Josh Hurley under braking.

Seth nice win, you and Bill drove well. Not all all of us had a good day, Nic J put an end to my podium hopes early, and yes the is a riff in the MINI camp with Nic, not the Kia's or Andy.

My buddy is the engineer for the Turner BMW GS M3. Bummer to see it end in a gravel trap.

BTW nice job with the win!

Great race, nice job Seth! congrats! Leh did pretty good as well. The amount of carnage was getting pretty stupid. Outright payback going on between Kia and Mini and it seem across all the teams. I know it's racing but some of it is over the top. Do those gravel traps need to be furroughed so deep? A couple of cars went into the runoff and stopped before the rears got into the gravel! But damn that looks like fun...

I agree, it was like demolition derby out there. And then the "Vettel-move" near the end (ok, they weren't team mates but still)... at least it gave Porsche the GS win.

So, what's this talk about the Cayman having a suspension that doesn't work for racing? Dorsey and/or Lee have said this twice in successive races (in both cases as the Cayman was running at the front!). I've heard nothing that would suggest this, unless it's a ploy to try to get some GT3 suspension hardware approved for the racing Caymans (Caymen?).

Ironic since the fast Mustangs are still running 1940s-style solid rear axles.

Enjoyable to watch and the lead change at the end was nothing short of unbelievable.

As good as BTCC action. Maybe they should consider such a Touring car 3 (shorter) race format with poll lottery in 3rd race. The mixed class racing added to the watch-ability factor, like the best of Touring Car and Le Mans.

While they are at it, how about combining F1 with GP2, maybe then there will be some passing
