2011 ADAC Zurich 24 Hours of Nurburgring

[Wardy 944]

KAZ, Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[W3H5]

Kaz is down to 26th. CRAP!

 

[jedisteampunk]

Sounds like Kaz's 71 car is in trouble.

 

[Mic_Col]

Kaz limping to pits according to commentary

 

[RACECAR]

Just heard that myself, thats not good.


Also, I'm lost on the timing and scoring. Which cars are the Audis?. I only know the 15, but thats it.

 

[W3H5]

#8 is in for a stop. (From 7th)

 

[Hofstee]

According to the official timing, Kaz's team is in 26th and in 27th. At the same time. And the next car is 28th and 29th. What?

The R8's that were chasing each other in the beginning are the 16 and the 14.

 

[Hofstee]

And now 26th place doesn't exist.

Aston Martin says they're going to try to rejoin the race.

HELICOPTER IS BACK!

I think it's the Aston Martin #3 car, but I can't see the number that well.

Jeez, Audi cam just passed over the 4.5 hour yellow zone. It looked like someone peeled away the barrier as if it were a banana peel.

14,15,16,17 👍

So it can then be ruled out that despite the Audi drivers Luhr and Duma, that 18 is not an Audi.

I'm using this pdf for the teams http://sportauto.ams-car.de/download/24h-Rennen_Starterliste_2011.pdf

 

[W3H5]

I'm reading 27th for Kaz. #12 is pitting.

 

[JeronimoM]

I can see the race!

I think it's a Porsche. Could be wrong.

same here, some drivers are listed in more than one car so they can consentrate on the leading one and retire the other

 

[jedisteampunk]

Yea looking like more cameras on the live stream, and as I say that they cut back to an interview in the pits.

 

[Mic_Col]

Finally seeing shots from around the track.

I liked how the 'One shot' we had all night, end of the main straight, sort of slowly came to life. It was jiggling about first then started to move around and was out of focus at times. Before finally waking up properly and tracking the cars well.

 

[Hofstee]

Chance of rain in the next couple hours looks promising! 💡

#18 is the Manthey 911

 

[W3H5]

Oh, to be on the track side! That's going on my list of things to do before I die!

In a race or just drive it?

Yep, its the Porsche. I'm guessing that makes them shared factory drivers then.

Audi channel back live

 

[jedisteampunk]

Starting to see some damp patches now, and it looks a bit misty from the helicopter.

 

[Hofstee]

Helicopter shots are amazing.

Racing it is well out of my reach. Being there is something I can actually do.
GT is the closest I'll ever come to the 'Ring 24 in the race car!

Some good racing now with the porsche and the BMW. Could be a close lap!

Edit: BMW has dropped well back. (Gone into the pits)

 

[Wardy 944]

So after 15hours racing 1st and 2nd are seperated by 1 tenth

Looks to be two great close endurance races this year

BMW out of pits, Porsche in.
