00:00 for Dennis Olsen, and only now does he start to catch up.
00:02 The lights went from red to green as quickly as they did
00:05 at the first time of asking.
00:06 It looks like a brilliant start from Kairoui.
00:08 Olsen got across, but Lucas Stolz into Turn 1
00:11 is on the outside of Yutaka Mimura.
00:13 May put his-- Yes, he has put his Mercedes
00:15 from fourth up to third.
00:16 And Kei Kozulino visiting the gravel,
00:19 but keeping his foot in again in that bright yellow car,
00:21 racing Ferrari back onto the track.
00:23 Back in the pack.
00:24 It's really tight.
00:26 GT4 cars keeping out of the way at the rear of the field,
00:29 and it's about to put a big tick in the box.
00:31 People have behaved through the first three corners.
00:33 Alvaro Parent getting pushed out very, very wide indeed.
00:36 It's very busy behind.
00:37 Side-on-side contact, and yesterday's race
00:39 being a winning Audi, got bounced across
00:41 into the treble tree Audi,
00:43 but Mikkel Maak got away with it,
00:45 but he was spun by Parent down at Turn 5,
00:49 shoved off into the gravel for NK Racing.
00:52 They're off as well, and in fact,
00:53 about three or four others just out of the image,
00:56 and the GT4 cars will arrive and get through.
00:58 But there we are, pushed wide at Turn 3.
01:00 The number 72 Porsche of Alvaro Parent.
01:03 Contact between 3 and the next turn,
01:07 which is Turn 4, and bodywork rubbing damage there
01:10 for Alvaro Parent.
01:11 Really disappointing for him and for Maurice Chen.
01:14 Meanwhile, as they say, up at the front,
01:17 the first four cars making good their escape.
01:19 The battle was just behind them where the contact was made.
01:21 This is very good news indeed for Matteo Caroli,
01:25 the race leader, Dennis Olsen for Lucas Daltz,
01:27 and Yuta Kamimura.
01:28 They've got that gap back to fifth place,
01:31 and it was a real sort-out fifth place.
01:34 It's being held by Eduardo Liberati,
01:36 I sense, the KCMG Honda.
