Not really as I don't know who Mikey is

But I was presuming you meant this;
?

this years race is full of 'code 60'š'

I was replying to Flyin Mikey J, not you Carrera lol. But the car in question is this



I've never seen it before but Mikey says they made the car that you pictured, which I get mixed up between Ginetta and Gillet

I didn't see Mikey post unless you meant Adrian, or I'm being silly.
But yes Gillet

^^ That car is a custom built "VDS001" or something, off a Mustang build

Ok right, so the car is a VDS GT 001-R (lets hope those numbers don't go up much!!) The team who made it based it off a Mustang. The team also made the Gillet?

A summary of Incident stuff;
Perfection Racing 151 hit a wall
Racing divas had contact and broke a steering arm? Lost lead & got it back
Ram Racing & 12 Schubert car came together, sus damage for 12 not sure about 30.
64 BMW silhouette had a crash
147 or 127 RJN/GT Academy hit a wheel & lost time
Sabine Schmitz backed the 147 into the wall
9 Gulf Lambo had gearbox changed
140 didn't take the start, can't remember why
69 BMW 120 has lost a wheel twice (one hit by RJN)
131 BMW Silhouette hit t1 wall
26 had an engine fire or something early on
133 stopped spitting flames, seemingly no drive

Will edit when I think of more!

Mention #1, now another needed to tie with last year.....

oooo massive crash on the front straight. wheels spewn all over the road.

code 60

does anyone know what hapened between car #30 and car #144 ?

Coming out the last corner cars ahead of 30 were backing up for some reason, 30 hit the brakes and the 144 probably didn't see them slowing down/couldn't react quick enough and hit the left rear of the 30 and which put him into the wall.

Best tweet of the race so far goes to Red Camel Racing:

Black Falcon team won

After making up a three-lap deficit due early on, the gull-winged beast took over the lead in the 13th hour and enjoyed a spirited fight with the No. 24 Saudi Falcons Team Schubert BMW Z4 GT3, until the 2011 race winners slipped back overnight before retiring with less than five hours to go with engine failure.

The late-race misfortunes for Black Falcon’s closest competitor gave clear sailing for its No. 1 Mercedes, which ironically started the weekend as a spare car to fellow competitor, Preci-Spark, before being acquired and transformed into the eventual race-winning machine.
