Just past 12 hours in, and it’s all about Rebellion and Porsche. Rebellion are 1, 2 in LMP2, and Porsche are 1, 2 in GTE. LMP2 field seems much more competitive than the GTE field.

DNF for Norris/Verstappen team. That’s a little bit of an upset, as Redline is one of the best esports racing teams.

 

One of the Toyota Gazoo entries has DNF’d as well.

 

Apparently, one team has been stuck on pit lane because they can’t wake up any of their drivers

And the game broke again, red flag again

One of the drivers described this event pretty well: "This was a test, which rFactor failed."

 

Which is too bad, because apart from the technical problems it's a really great production.

The #20 is back thanks to the red flag  Only 18 laps behind the leaders, just like Alonso's car they were gifted a huge number of laps.

Fantastic fight for 2nd between the ByKolles #4 and Rebellion #13

2 Danish podium places. That's pretty satisfying!

#4 wins this fight and finishes second, ahead of #13 and the winners of Rebellion #1.

Video of Verstappen's crash...yeah, not much you can do when your car is suddenly thrown back a corner by the game  Obviously also no blame on Marciello there, he suddenly had another car pretty much in his own car, that doesn't work out, according to physics.

And as expected, Formula E will finish their season with 6 races in less than one and a half week in August...all of them at the Berlin Tempelhof airport (three different lay-outs).

This might be a shitty idea by itself, but wait, it gets worse! They managed to choose the dates so that four of the six races are in the middle of the week instead of at least having a majority in the weekends
