2009 ADAC Zurich 24h (24h of Nürburgring)

[boiltheocean]

Nah the GT is sloppy already. Manthey is smooth and collected. Quality driving already, damn the traffic dodging was cool.

 

[JamboGT]

Hmm I may have to throw GT4 on...

 

[Wardy 944]

WOOHOO got my message read out, he called us GTI Planet



I'd like to see the 911 get by, just to see if it can pull away

 

[JamboGT]

I remember doing this last year lol

 

[Blake]

This is fantastic action. I’m going to bed shortly, but looking forward to catching some more action in the morning.

 

[JamboGT]

Ahhh Blake! Why with that Avatar.
? My eyes!

 

[Earth]

Is the stream here

http://adac.24h-rennen.de/index.php?id=3785

cutting in and out for everyone?

EDIT: How many laps before pit stops?

 

[Freddie]

Fantastic action, and first shout out to GTPlanet at 16.26 local time! (Or maybe GTiPlanet, i'm not entirely sure :S )

 

[JamboGT]

It was for me earth so I am using the direct WMP link that was posted earlier:

How's the Holden how's the Holden?

GT3 spec cars are actually quite comparable to a V8 Supercar, it's just that most, if not all, the Australian GT teams are privateers and gentlemen racers. And perhaps Nürburgring is a better circuit for the GT class car.

Here are some comparisons between Allan Simonsen's F430 GT3 and the lap records held by V8 Supercars:

Sandown

• V8 Supercar: 1'10.8
• F430 GT3: 1'11.5

Symmons Plains

• V8 Supercar: 0'52.0
• F430 GT3 (old engine): 0'52.6

Adelaide Street Circuit

• V8 Supercar: 1'22.4
• F430 GT3: 1'23.2

Eastern Creek

• V8 Supercar: 1'31.7
• F430 GT3: 1'31.5

True, and interesting. I thought the old Carrera Cup was GT3 spec, they were normally just a few sec behind V8 SCs. I think that V8 SCs should update their vehicles, move with the times.

No it seem fine, how many tab's do you have open? I've have 3 GTPlanet, Radio le mans and adac.24

I actually thought the same too, until I saw the Cup S which is currently running in the Australian GT. The Carrera Cup cars are no where near it, even when it had extra ballast.

It was mine, unfortunatly he did say GTiPlanet

Edit, I know it was mine because he read my real name from the e-mail 👍

 

[Clark]

How come there's no Zakspeed Viper this year aswell?

 

[Metar]

The Manthey-Osram battle is simple perfection.

 

[Paulie]

So they're roughly similar in pace then:tup:, that doesn't answer where the Holden is in-class now though. All I know is it's not top 16 (I can still only conclude that the Holden must have fairly slow drivers). For the record, live streaming doesn't work on my crappy connection.


EDIT: Do any Aussies know if it's on digital TV? Or if there will be a highlights show tomorrow or something?

 

[Clark]

Do Manthey only have the one GT3 RSR and the rest being GT3 Cups?

Also what's the name of the facebook group?

I think he said "RadiolemansN24"

or "midweekmotorsportN24"

 

[Earth]

Ford GT has a little gap now

I hope he can maintain it

This stream

http://adac.24h-rennen.de/index.php?id=3785

has to buffer every 5 seconds for me

the justin tv stream i posted earlier is a little bit lesser quality, and has commercials, but is not oversaturated like the official stream and is smooth

 

[Wardy 944]

Martin sound devastated he missed the pass for 1st

 

[Metar]

Official stream works perfectly.


Osram Ford has minor contact, and so ends the best battle I've seen in motorsports.

 

[Clark]

, and so ends the best battle I've seen in motorsports.

You're telling me you've never seen Villeneuve VS Arnoux at Dijon?

Why can't anyone answer my questions?

 

[boiltheocean]

I think there may be some weather problems around the ring. RLM and the Direct Stream keep cutting out for me at the same time or it may be my Interent connection but I doubt that as it was streaming both fine earlier.

 

[Metar]

You're telling me you've never seen Villeneuve VS Arnoux at Dijon?

Touché.

 

[Stevisiov]

I will be watching the stream later, its a shame I am missing out now.

Sounds like a good race so far, hopefully there isn't a massive field spread by the time I get round to watching it.

 

[Wardy 944]

sorry Paulie the live feeds only show the top 30, I've had a quick look around and cannot find the full list anywhere

 

[JamboGT]

Am not an aussie. Sorry

And Duffers, I agree with you re GV and RA

 

[Metar]

Your Holden was 30th a minute ago, but is no longer on the list (top 30 only), replaced by the Osram Ford GT.
