Thats a good sized crowd. Well done Brands and world challenge!

[@Rosario_Verano]

Look at that crowd! This year's off to a great start.

De Pauw is only 18 ,but hes already such a good driver. Respect to him

[@superduper9357]

Love Brands Hatch! I am lucky enough to live near the track and go at least once per year, mainly for the bikes though. It's great for a family day out.

[@chrisw8249]

I love the intro music they got this year. Gives me massive A1GP vibes which I used to also like.

[@sprintermaximus]

Unbelievable race. And, an excellent call, as always, by John Watson and David Nichols.

[@pog6162]

I was there at paddock Hill bend great atmosphere seeing everyone cheer as rossis audi went by and lap 1 crash was crazy

[@QuirkyAvik]

Now I can't wait to play racing games.

Right!

[@Atticvs32]

Rotten luck for the #88 Mercedes of Gounon - getting stuck behind the slow #93 Sky Tempesta Merc on Gounon's inlap, then the 5-6s lost on the slot pitstop... Would have easily got out in front of the #53 Ferrari without those and win the race!

[@superstar5042]

88 would not win couse they were slower than 3 first cars by a lot

[@Atticvs32]

Don't matter, they wouldn't have been able to overtake them on this track

[@woodystorey]

Gounon isn’t worth worrying about, he could be given the best car and still wouldn’t do anything with….he was and he didn’t at LeMans…

[@superstar5042]

@@Atticvs32 they would. Maraciello overtook 88 one minute after 88 left pits. Yes, 88 had cold tires but Ferrari at p2 could do the same

[@Atticvs32]

Cold tyres meant a lot. Without the issues, #88 would've got out in front, and comfortably, not 'just about', so they would've warmed their tyres by the time the others got to them.

[@OD_MAN99]

Amazing race. 20 year old de Paul wow

[@waltvancourt5052]

Great big attendance

[@UnlovedZetsu]

22:48 That was some rookie stuff from the car ahead of Rossi

[@KatesDirtySister]

I mean, aside from the fact that it wasn't exactly the greatest idea to go on the inside into t1 on lap1 when there wasnt really a spot to go he had nowhere to go to avoid the wall of pit exit when he was on the grass. Also after that rookie mistake he saved it really well avoiding further crashes by going through the rest of t1 backwards before stopping

[@aleccoles5557]

The guy literally chose to drive on the grass and cause a crash... I mean come on

[@kingchucklesii2197]

Visiting F1 fan here, I may have a new obsession 😀

[@spitfirebriks1297]

I live really close to Brans Hatch and I heard the racing noise good race Ferrari

[@phippsa3]

Wish I'd have known this race was on beforehand, I'd have gone along for the race.

Valentino Rossi è sempre un fenomeno, ha portato notorietà anche ad una categoria sconosciuta alla maggior parte della gente. L'amore dei suoi tifosi è grande come è grande la sua classe e umanità. Forza Valentino, oggi come ieri siamo con te!

[@gillettey]

who was the knob in the Merc at the start in the grass?

[@jackdillon1304]

I was literally where they crashed at turn 1. Insane

[@moneymac2328]

Great race

[@NightriderMadMax]

Doesn't it suck, when they concentrate on just one or two racers instead of the race as a whole?

[@muthusamydon8616]

when did Rossi join this GT challenge?

[@krakentortoise7531]

Rare for me to miss a GTWC EU race :(

[@manbok2035]

It was very early on Sunday. But watch Race 2 later this evening!

[@QF_Dan72]

i was watching Moto2 and ends up missing this

[@davidroberts7860]

Only just found this page. How often are these races held?

[@louismuir5075]

10 rounds for GTWC Europe, then there's also GTWC Australia, Asia and America with a bunch of rounds each. Otuside of GTWC, there's also British GT and Intercontinental GT Challenge, which are all streamed on this channel and feature GT3. GTWC Europe, British GT and IGTC are the main ones worth following

[@TheRealCharter]

Next sprint event is 13-15 May at Magny-Cours Next endurance event is 3-5 June at Paul Ricard

[@ardiantowibowo269]

I didn't see aston martin and bentley, where are they..?

[@wiegraf9009]

Impressive to see a Ferrari do so well!

[@theflagstand]

Miguel Ramos did not lap the field.

[@TheMatheus125]

I'm new to GT, why there is a massive dominance of mercedes and Audis? I thought i would see more lambos, mclarens and porsches as well

[@louismuir5075]

The endurace features more Aston, Bentley, McLaren, Porsche, BMW and Lamborghini. It just seems sprint has always been dominated by Audi and Mercedes sadly

[@TheMatheus125]

@@louismuir5075 But the teams that race with this other cars don't race in sprint?

[@Maenfy]

@@TheMatheus125 Not all of them. There are 60+ cars for the endurance races and around 26 for the sprint races.

[@louismuir5075]

@@TheMatheus125 Endurance has a much larger grid, with around 50-60+ cars as someone else mentioned. There are a lot of sprint championships in Europe, so a lot of teams race in those too instead of GTWC Sprint. There's DTM, GT Open, ADAC GT Masters etc

[@donlimbargo5865]

Jesus Christ you'd think Rossi has won several gt3 championships or something judging by the way they talk about the guy. They've got Rossi listed as a pro driver but he clearly is not up to pro pace yet.

[@GSXReaper46]

Everybody’s a critic. Here’s more of a pro than you, that’s for sure! 😂

[@Meadie69]

Rossi has never been to Brands before, and in race 2 he was lapping within a couple of tenths of Vervisch. Not too shabby.

[@tryggmundur1188]

If you were the owner of a smaller motorsport series and a racing legend enters your series, wouldn't you publicise it as much as possible? You'd be stupid not to, and Rossi is gonna bring a lot of new fans to GTWC.

[@kierancarter8369]

@@Meadie69 Rossi has raced Brands before...just on 2 wheels...:) I know they said he's never raced here but i'm pretty sure i remember watching a MotoGP race were here was here.
