Trophies and medals always look better when they are shiny, don’t they? (Where can I get me some of these?)

I want to see my favourite driver stand on the podium, but apparently he’s not showing until podium ceremony number 5. I guess I’m making myself a cup of tea.

What I will forever remember about the 2022 edition of this race.

David Gostner is trying really hard to scare the life out of me — and I must admit, he’s succeeding.

How can this already be the final hour? We only starting racing, like, five minutes ago.

This is turning into a rather Gandalf-esque “You shall not pass!” kind of situation.

Does anyone have a head cold? If so, you might be able to steam your sinuses open if you hang your face over that steam.

When the driver is tall and the pitlane commentator is not.

I pull a few towels out of the cupboard to take a quick shower and OF COURSE it spontaneously starts to rain.

Happy marshal! I approve. #Gulf12Hours🌴

What is wrong with the 28? These men are getting to the bottom of it. #Gulf12Hours 🌴

According to the #Gulf12Hours🌴, GruppeM is mainly trying to repair the broken 98 by looking at it. That is exactly how I would go about the repairs! I’m glad to see my wisdom is spreading.

It’s just past 7AM in the morning and I’m trying to work out why the front-row starters are all pitting in the first few minutes of the race. But appropriately to the hour, my mind is snoozing on the job. #Gulf12Hours🌴

Will be posting more motorsport content in the coming days and weeks, but in the meantime, if you fancy a bit of GT racing, the Intercontinental GT Challenge Gulf 12 Hours at Yas Marina Circuit is about to get started.

There we have it. The 98 will start the #Gulf12Hours🌴 from pole, with the 89 alongside. (Which means we will all have to be super careful not to accidentally mix up those numbers.) But, who will be first by the end?

It is raining at the #Gulf12Hours 🌴. Indeed, the ‘plops’ are drying up the moment they hit the warm asphalt, but still. It’s raining! What a ‘plop’ twist.

Oh no, the 16 spun! Good, it’s got going again. It’s going into the pits. It’s going to stop with its team. I’m sure it’s going to pit at its box any time now. Mmm, it keeps going for a long time… but NOW it will stop… right? no? eh… oh, it exited the pit. #Gulf12Hours🌴

World: “Bad news for Maro Engel. He’s not claiming P1 in Q1.”

Maro Engel: goes out, squeezes out another lap somehow and gets P1.

The sky is the limit, but this Sky went slightly over it. Luckily, though, it could continue without serious damage after a brief stall. #Gulf12Hours🌴
