We are on the 5th lap and the battle at the front is incredible - the Ford GT (race no 40 - clever huh!) driven by Dirk Adorf and the Manthey Porsche (No 1) with Marc Lieb at the wheel have been at each other since the start,never more than a few yards apart with some brilliant driving by the Ford pilot keeping the obviously quicker Manthey car behind. There have already been some heart-stopping moments with slower cars and we are only 50 minutes into the race. Lieb is taking something of a breather -he is at least 10 yds behind now !
Audi no 100 -with Ekstrom at the wheel, stopped on Lap one, he got going again after being stationary for 3 laps and is pit-bound now.
UPDATE
the Ford collided with a slower BMW and spun into the barrier. He is currently in the pits and they are reparing the damage - he is dropping rapidly down the leader board. Also Car no 98 - Audi of Hans Stuck has a 3 minute stop and go for yellow flag infringement.
This makes H-J Stuck an Honary member of EDJ !!
