2009 ADAC Zurich 24h (24h of Nürburgring)

[Stevisiov]

I have dead stream problems too, but from what I can see on the car times, my favourites are doing well. 👍

 

[JamboGT]

Hah, love the ripping apart of Herman Tilke!

Is there a rich billionaire driving the Ford GT now? He's losing 30 seconds a lap

"It's a shame he never came here to see what a proper track looks like!"

 

[boiltheocean]

Anyone know if they got that #100 Audi going again?

12 laps back apparently, but I'm sure you've been listening to RLM.

 

[Kutscher80]

173 Starters they were talking about.
After reading the trainings PDFs there are only 171 cars on that lists...
Last year it was still 230 in training and 210 (or was it 220) in the race.

They forbid the smaller cars. Instead now drives bad drivers in fast cars, overall it doesn´t make a difference in safety. Just less cars makes it more safe and in a few hours more boring.

 

[Stevisiov]

I think the Audi #97 looks stunning, hope it can win, 4th currently.

That's a shame, 210 cars on track is very impressive, still 170 is good. Thanks for the info.

This must be Hermann Tilke then...

I think I see why SPEED TV does not cover this race

If they have to use this amateurish/terrible feed then its not worth showing it on their channel.

You are welcome!

@ Kutscher80, when is the race back on TV in Germany? I think you said it's currently showing F1

 

[JamboGT]

Its because the tv channel in germany covering it is not live at the moment. Once it is back on full coverage will ensue.

Well, as soon as they start showing on german TV again it is pretty good. But the idiotic "german sports channel" shows other stuff like "UFC Fighting" and stuff instead of more live action from the 24h Race.
They start again to show things on TV at 20:30 (german time) - 22:00. Then from 23:00 - 23:30.
And then through the Night -> NOTHING.
They start then again on sunday at 07:00 - 09:15 and for the finish 13:30 - 16:30.

 

[Wardy 944]

Thank's Kutscher 👍

 

[Kutscher80]

You are all welcome!
Happy that we all can talk a bit about the Race

 

[Stevisiov]

Who is everyone supporting then?

19 members viewing this thread

 

[Kutscher80]

I support everyone excepts: Manthey, Audi and the other real and semi worksteams

 

[Wardy 944]

So we're 1 hr 20 mins from going live 👍

I pinned my hopes on the #100 Audi, but i'd like to see the Ford GT back up front.

Wow, even in Germany they have spotty coverage.

I'm waiting on someone to blame NASCAR as the reason why SPEED doesn't show any of the Nurburgring race.

 

[Stevisiov]

The ford GT Nearly had another incident, this time in the pits.

 

[boiltheocean]

Who is everyone supporting then?

Manthey, Sabine Schmitz and both the teams running Merc E190s

 

[Mt. Lynx]

12 laps back apparently, but I'm sure you've been listening to RLM.

Thank you! That car is of particular interest to me, since Mattias Ekström is driving that car. Swedish and all.
And no, I´m actually not listening to RLM right now, since there is a bit of a party going on here, and music is priority

I stopped supporting them

I even stopped supporting Peugoet's LeMans program because of consistent amateur behavior

 

[Kutscher80]

Sabine Schmitz is one of the drivers and her team frikadelli that I support. And of course the both Alzen Teams.
And all BMW E46 325i

Its all NASCAR's fault!

 

[Kutscher80]

Yes, NASCAR is the guilty for everything

" Earth
Wow, even in Germany they have spotty coverage."

Yes, I am complaining about that for years... But they still let the same ****** TV Channel show that Race...
This is why it is better to be live there at the Track
But this year I can´t be there...

ON TV they show at the moment Table Tennis...

 

[Stevisiov]

Manthey, Sabine Schmitz and both the teams running Merc E190s

I didn't realise there were 190E's running, although it shouldn't surprise me.

Have I mentioned already that I am supporting the Scirocco's?

[edit]Only one left in the top 30 currently.

there are now three in the top 30

Also, the sky is looking distinctly gloomy, perhaps some rain would shake up the order a bit.

 

[Wardy 944]

That's brilliant


Are the R8's still AWD, or has it all been stripped out, if it rains this will be a big advantage.

any video stream? all i got is audio. I was running a few laps in the 2005zakspeed viper (ingame) while listening
