Danny O'DwyerHOST
How dare you.
Andy HarrissGUEST
There's a story here.
Andy HarrissGUEST
So one of the biggest mistakes of my life was when the movie first started, they hired that test track, Paul Ricard.
Andy HarrissGUEST
You can do an F1 driving experience with Paul Ricard.
Andy HarrissGUEST
And we sent Brad and Damson and a few other people down there to drive F1 cars to get a feel for it.
Andy HarrissGUEST
And the producer said to me, Andy, who do you think also needs to go down? And I was like, well, I think maybe the stunt coordinator should have a go to understand how F1 cars work.
John HindhaughHOST
Car back to the pits now but clearly in need of some remedial work.
Peter MacKayHOST
pity because it's a similar issue to what they had at Paul Ricard in the heat there in early June the car is really quick it's by far the fastest car in TCE over one lap but it's being able to keep flowing on with those laps which is what wins these longer races particularly the 24 hour of course and it was back and forth all the way with the asbest car which was something like 12 seconds a lap slower but was but actually ended up winning the category um because they just were out of the pits for less time and the this year they had a litany of uh of reliability issues so yeah it's about the spirit of endurance
John HindhaughHOST
oh yes and when you look at that asbest racing team look at the differential look at the delta you often hear people called delta the reason they call it delta it's d for difference or differential look at the difference between their fastest lap and every lap that they do and i would put reasonable money to say that that little seat leon runs as close to its best last lap time for longer it in the hands of more drivers than any other.
John HindhaughHOST
any other of the cars

Johnny PalmerHOST
The only mightily impressive thing is that the not-only motorsport Ligier has been able to rejoin the race.
Johnny PalmerHOST
It's now in the hands of Giacomo Pollini, number 114, and I was fearful that that was going to be a non-finish, therefore the team... taking this round as the drop score which could be hugely damaging with 60 points on the table but that car it was on fire the marshals put it out with a load of fire extinguisher around the engine bay and somehow it
Peter MacKayHOST
lives on this was what happened to paul ricard and the thing is they have by far the fastest car over one lap so The fight back begins.
Peter MacKayHOST
It's Ligier versus the world now for that not only motorsport crew.
Johnny PalmerHOST
Remember that the fuel quadrant is before the garages, though, so although you enter in the normal place on the pit lane, if you're wanting fuel during the race, you dive to the right and hope that there is a pump free to get your fuel before then doing the rest of the full service.
Johnny PalmerHOST
24-hour series the second time this year that we're going 24-hour racing and the european campaign has mainly been 12-hour affairs many of them split across two days that was the case in rugelo at the start of the year in march then we moved a month later to belgium to the ardennes to the spa francorchamps circuit for another 12 hour the south of france A week before the 24 hours of Le Mans was the scene for the 12 hours of Paul Ricard.
Johnny PalmerHOST
And then the first time visit to the Nürburgring before coming here to Barcelona.
Johnny PalmerHOST
In the GT3 standings, before we get racing underway, there was no point for pole position.
12 MINS LATER
Johnny PalmerHOST
And the grid is set with two of the GT3 Pro-Am cars.
Johnny PalmerHOST
at the front of the author but we should not discount the gamota racing bmw because that car has been going great guns in the nls championship the nurburgring langstricken series that circulates the nurburgring the full nord schleifer every month or so and jesse crone is down as the starting driver there but for the first time and it feels like quite a delayed um conversation to be had now because i've teed it up a couple of times and then we had to get back down to the grid but good morning peter mckay um i know you've said a few words already but um you can tell us now genuinely who you think might be the favorites going into this it seems difficult to look beyond some of these amgs that regardless of who's been driving them they have been very very strong They've got
Peter MacKayHOST
a bit of a run of momentum, I would say, right now in the Michelin 24-hour series with a win overall at Paul Ricard for Hoffer Racing and Getspeed taking the win at the Nürburgring.
Peter MacKayHOST
They seem to be strong and they're also in numbers.
Nick HarrisHOST

Horatio Fitz-SimonGUEST
every single millisecond whether a car starts performing differently you start to lose rear grip you have to always be adapting and that's why i think motorsport is certainly a unique sport in that regard the race circuit is a living creature the car beneath you is simply it's your tool to be able to get through the circuit and you can't just sit there and and concentrate on other things and you know i've been there on those days where i've i've let my mind get away when i've I'll give a great example.
Horatio Fitz-SimonGUEST
When I was racing at Paul Ricard a couple of years ago, I had a very good sized lead and this was in a 1963 year car.
Horatio Fitz-SimonGUEST
So the engine and gearbox on them were quite fragile.
Horatio Fitz-SimonGUEST
And once I was in a healthy position, I thought, okay, I'll back off a bit.
