There’s just two hours left to go and all is looking good for the #1 Manthey car.

Most of the Aussie teams are holding station since the last update. Although car #170, the BMW M3, has only done two laps in the last couple of hours. The Results Database doesn’t show them as being in the pits, so we can assume the car is on course. Fingers crossed they can hold on until the end.
