2011 ADAC Zurich 24 Hours of Nurburgring

[Hofstee]

Yeah i've seen them flash their brights, just seems odd to have the blue light aside from an indicator for spectators..

It's probably to warn slower cars just to be a little more cautious when they are near, and I guess it could also be some medal of achievement if you want. Especially if you're a cup car with one. That would be hilarious.

What is the position of Kaz's team?

1st in class, 27th overall. 2nd place car is 3 laps behind

well thanks for the details guys, have a good one.. im heading to bed.. its really late here

Because when one of those 36 comes up on a backmarker and they see the blue light in their rear view they know they won't have a hard time getting past compared to cars without it. Also helps to know the car flashing its lights at you is a different class car and not one trying to pass you for position.

Just curious-
How difficult/easy would it be to tell that a turbo hose was broken?

 

[jedisteampunk]

Maybe just putting 2+2 together, telemetry, gut feeling, hard to tell really

That is a lot of racing tape on the #16 Audi.

You know, I really want to get one of those light up stickers now. Why can't we have light up stickers in GT5? :<

I also want that LCD rearview mirror in the Lambo, but hey... who doesn't?

white and dark chocolate

 

[jedisteampunk]

Yea that Lcd rear view in the Lambo rocks.

 

[HeroPride]

Kaz is in 28th position right now, I hope he gets into the top 20 before the race ends.

 

[Hofstee]

More racing tape on the 16 Audi? Jeeeeez...

I love how the Yellow Audi has Michelin tires while being sponsored by Falkan Tires

 

[jedisteampunk]

That mini shot past that Aston Martin Zagato then.

Maybe there's something in the regulations about using certain tires. Maybe Falken tires don't work as well for longer endurance races. Don't get me wrong, Falken tires are good, but they're still newer to the game.

Like F1 forces teams to use Pirellis. So... who knows.


Anyways, I think I'm off to bed. Getting quite early here. Almost 1:30 AM

'night.

 

[Apok]

I bet Kaz's favorite part of his car is the sun visor. 👍

 

[cbabb]

Please tell me someone got that shot of the GTR

 

[jedisteampunk]

Have a good night Hofstee.
