ONE THIRD DISTANCE

Dominik Farnbacher is running second in class in GT at one third distance, about one minute behind the leader Spencer Pumpelly. Farnbacher is running consistently quicker than Pumpelly and closing the gap.
Midnight: Farnbacher has been charging to make up time lost in a pitstop gone wrong - he arrived at the pits with the crew unprepared and went straight back out. The lead has been whittled down to some 37 secs on Lap 245.
Update: The gap is down to 33.508 on lap 249.
Update: Matthew Marsh in the #86 at 12:15. At 260 laps he is chasing Emmanuel Collard in the TRG #66 Porsche. The gap is 27.448 secs. Patrick Long is riding in third. Marsh now cuts the gap to 26.779 on lap 261. Down to 23.557 secs on lap 264. 22.324 secs on lap 265. 18.680 on lap 266. A nice sequence as the #86 reels in the TRG car. Eases to 19.267 on lap 267. To 22.022 on lap 269.
