4:54 pm - Johannes is now P5 but is 2 laps down on the overall leader, due to the earlier penalty assessed Joerg during his stint. Positions: P1. No 62; P2 No 61; P3 No 18; P4 No 31; P5 No 45; P6 No 71; P7 No. 44; P8 No. 22; P9 No 73.

4:42 pm - P1. No 62; P2 No 61; P3 No 18; P4 No 31; P5 No 71; P6 No 45; P7 No. 44; P8 No. 22; P9 No 73. Car 22, which was involved in the same penalty scenario earlier as the No. 45, has pulled out for "extenuating circumstances"

4:30 pm - Race control has called the No. 45 and I think two other cars back into the pits for a penalty. Race control says that we passed the No. 7 under yellow but Joerg says that the No. 7 had waved him by and understood that he was to pass. Things are a bit chaotic at the moment...

Looks like Johannes has pitted to serve the penalty - which is to hold for a lap. We are not in agreement with the penalty and will protest if we are able.

4:23 pm - Johannes is out in the No. 45. I'll report positions again in one lap as soon as things have sorted out. The course is still yellow but should go green the next lap.

4:21 pm - The No. 31 pitted under yellow and the field has reshuffled.

Strategist Thomas Blam calls Joerg in for driver change to JOhannes, tires, and fuel.

3:44 pm - It's a battle in GT2 as Mueller in the No. 31 puts the pressure on Wolf Henzler in the No. 71 Tafel Porsche - but is unable to pass. Auberlen in the No. 22 is close behind the No. 31.

3:37 - Joerg has passed the No. 73 Porsche to move into P 7.

3:24 pm - The No. 62 has pitted under yellow for fuel and tires. The No. 45 should also pit under yellow for tires and fuel. The No. 44, which started on new tires, will most likely not pit on this yellow.

3:06 pm - Green flag. A clean start with no incidents on the first few turns so far. I'll report positions in a few laps. It appears that the No. 22 Panoz got by Joerg on the start. Joerg was in fifth and is now in sixth. The No. 44 started from the back of the grid on fresh tires and is in ninth.


3:03 pm - Cars are on the second pace lap - green next time by.

2:54 pm ET - Engine start will be at 3:00 pm, then two pace laps.

2:47 pm ET - Race control notified us that we might have a short race start delay to accommodate TV programming - we aren't sure yet if we will be on schedule or not. I'll keep you posted.

2:15 pm ET - We are less than one hour from race start for today's Grand Prix of Mosport. Joerg is starting in the No. 45 and Seth in the No. 44. Both drivers are in their cars in pit lane, awaiting the recon lap. Weather is pleasant - low clouds but no rain, about 75 degrees. Some large crowds here at Mosport today - thousands of folks lined up on the hills above the front straight waiting for the grid to open to fans.
