Thanks to consistently good results by Phil and Joe, Krahl Racing have powered away in the team standings, with Maki Racing and Infinity + 1 close together in 2nd and 3rd.

Some interesting insights from Aristotelis:

You're not imagining things. It is a tricky car to drive and even more tricky to setup.
Because of the rear engine placement, the rear diffuser is very limited and shallow. That means that the car creates downforce, mainly from the front splitter and rear wing.
Obviously to go fast, you need good downforce with low drag, and while on all the other cars you can lower the rear wing and have the rear diffuser balancing the car, in the 911 GT3 R, you can't (not enough downforce from the rear diffuser), but you're forced to... and the car becomes unstable.

There's more problems. The car has more weight at the rear, than the other cars. To have a balanced car, you need the tyres to be similar size proportionally to your weight balance. Most cars in GT3 class are around 50 to 47% weight balance at the front. The 911 GT3 R has only 40% weight the front, but it is forced by the regulations to use the fat front tyres. This makes the car unbalanced in mecchanical grip. It might give good turn in, but the car will always stay twitchy and nervous when you go over the limit

Finally, the car has a front fuel tank. This means the weight balance shifts a lot during the race, depending on the fuel level, making the car even more difficult to setup and find the correct compromise. Almost all the other cars have their fuel tank close to the CoG.

Yes, it's a hard car to drive and setup and now you understand why Porsche decided to make the 911 RSR (GTLM class) a mid engine car...

Congratulations to Phil on pole position, Phil and Marty on the race wins, and to Marty for the overall round win.

Lap 1 Penalties
Race 1: Jimmy ran into the back of Bird - penalty of 40 kg for next race.
Race 2: Seanus had a spin, just a racing incident, between T2 and T3 on cold tyres, which caused a bit of a pileup.
Slow As ran into the back of Wally - penalty of 40 kg for next race.
Bird, Joe and Grat were 3 wide, with Grat almost completely off the track to the right. Joe moved across to avoid Bird, and hit Grat into the fence. Grat was to the rear and side of Joe and not visible, so racing incident.
