    The full timing and scoring list for 199 starters (!!) is here:

    41. ADAC Zurich 24h-Rennen: Einzelansicht

    It's hard to keep track of anyone on that list but you can click the drop down list in the upper left and set it for class SP-2T to easily see how the MINIs are doing.

    The MINIs:

    #124 - Besaplast
    126 - Partl
    127 - Schirra
    128 - Schirra
    129 - no team name

    FWIW, and if anyone else is paying attention to this race, I think the Audi Liveracing feed is slightly better quality.

    Red flagged for heavy rain and fog, all action stopped...for a few hours now I think. No idea when they'll restart, Radio LeMans has even ran out of patience and switched over to a taped show while they wait.

    After an 8-hour (9-hour?) red flag they're finally about to restart. I didn't realize under red the teams are allowed to work on the cars all they like. As a result quite a few cars that were ailing have been restored to something resembling full health. Might make for an interesting race during the final 9 hours. On the other hand, it's still raining and the track is still soaked so who knows?
