Order on lap 40, 22 minutes remaining, is Bourdais, Rahal, Clarke, Servia, Heylen, Gommendy, Tagliani, Wilson, but Rahal is pitting now and Bourdais will pit next time around.

Apparently we are also expecting Wilson in for his final pit stop.

Bourdais pits

Apparently Bourdais is using his Power to Pass now, in order to get a quick lap to stay ahead of Clarke.

And Bourdais retains the lead, but Clarke has jumped Rahal for second.

I have to say I do like the way these guys conduct their pit stops.

No lollipops but a man leaning on the front tyre. There is no way a driver can make a mistake and leave before he's supposed to without running over a team member!

I'm sure someone would be sued if something went wrong, though!

I'm sure you're right Andy, but don't you agree that these guys are much better disciplined in the pit stops?

Rahal is eyeing up Clarke for a pass I think.

Yeah, it seems to be the case that the pit stops are much cleaner here than in certain other series. As you say, the lack of lollipops is a testament to the discipline of the whole team.

Back to the race: looks like Rahal is gaining fast on Clarke. Again.

As Bourdais is thinking about coming in for a pit stop, we go immediately to an Advert Break <grrr>
