Check back later for summaries at the 12 and 18 hour points and for a final rundown.

Hehehe, which is better? Forza or GT, since both simulators have incredibly detailed everything D:

NICE D:

neither, iracing.com, since that's the one that all the pro's use. For the racing since it's only against real opponents, and is also incredibly detailed in the racing models, leaps and bounds ahead of any console "games", it is truly a simulation. For example, you win in Forza or GT5 it's meh, I won, you won in iracing, it means something... I still haven't but i've come pretty damn close a few times, including the one that got away, still mad at myself for that one, lead over half the race, bobbled, lost the lead, then pulled a stupid move and spun myself out, me and the other guy were way out in front though so I still finished second, about 12 seconds back I think. But mostly i'm into oval racing. (Just got back from the track actually )


At the Halfway point, Walker Racing's #27 has taken the point in GT with it's Daescher Anderson GT6 followed by the #36 RLC Racing and their Norris-Lee ImperiumZ and the #12 Copperhead GTR of Team Blackburn.


And in SP Shepard Autosports has moved their Car #8 up to the point with Norris Lee's #9 taking second and the #2 holding fast in third.

Vroom vroom.

During the 16th hour, Walker Racing's #27 hit troubles and spent 30 minutes on pit road, dropping back to 13th position and handing the lead over to the #21 SJR Racing Shamgill Nitro GT-2 driven by Brandon Dean (Kelhand), Jaro Pul (Laagvlatke), and Tim Ebersbach (Sureicha), second is held by the #13 Team Blackburn, Gould Copperhead GTR, and third by Team Blackburn's #12.


In the SP Class, Shepard Autosports #2 Car is leading while Norris Lee's #6 rides second, and the Shepard #8 is third.

Hehehe Nice cars

Nothing but sweetness.
I wish I still had a sony console to play GT on...or at the very least, I wish I had Forza.

DRAMA IN THE LAST FEW HOURS

Canmoor Sunday- In the 21st hour a major crash involving Shepard Autosports Car #8 took place where driver Arno de Launay was hit by a slower GT car while the GT car was being overtaken. De Launay was transported to Southerfordshire Regional Hospital for further evaluations where he is being kept overnight. The car was reported to have flipped at speeds in excess of 140 mph and then landed hard causing damage to the roll structure.


Despite the crash, the race finished and leading the podium in the GT Class was car #46 of Reece Patel Racing, a third Shamgill Nitro entry along with the two SJR entries. Holland Engineering's #3 finished second and Team Blackburn's #13 finished third.


In the SP Class, Norris Lee rounded out the race with John Romero driving the final stint in the #9 taking the victory in a close duel with the Norris Lee #10. Last year's victors, the #1 Shepard Autosports entry took the final podium spot in SP.

Oh noes!

Yay for crashes
