By fitting a 6.0l W12 engine

Overall Top 25 should be possible, in our class we are aiming for a Top 3, perhaps even win.

But hey, its a 24h race at the Ring... anything can happen

Chris

Good luck and have loads of fun Chris! Oh and BTW when you finish your stint drop by the Schulze garage and hit Kaz in the head with a BFH! Lol!

 

[Vince_Fiero]

I'm there, maybe I'll get around to it

@ Grenade: the weather around here changes so much they can't even predict 2 days ahead, and I'm guessing it will be even lesser predictable at Nurburg so I wouldn't worry yet... A bit of rain might be nice

Indeed, he might get a Visit from Poolhaas, MarcoM and Vince_Fiero.
Anyway always go passed the stands of GT5 related racers when I know.

I recommend this as reference on weather:

at this moment quite a high chance on rain during the race.

 

[Christhedude]

thanks guys!

Like I said, if anyone here happens to be at the Ring for the 24h race, keep an eye out for people with Car Collection Motorsport shirts or sweaters, then just ask them for Chris and come to our pit.

Infact I was planning on taking my cockit + ps3 and gt5 with me, cause we got a huge 40 or 50" TV in our truck, but considering everything, it might get a little crapped there.

If I do happen to see KY again! ill ask him and demand a physics update for GT5 immediately

 

[MarcoM]

And Spa for GTpsp when you get the chance.

And yes I hope we can see you in action Chris.

Last year I remember watching the race from a German broadcast channel but I was listening to the race updates and live feed on a British radio channel. Will there be something like this this year?

Edit: Sorry never mind, OP covered everything.

Lol! Good stuff Chris!
You know bringing your own cockpit sounds like a great idea, but it isn't such a good idea!
I'll be keepig an eye out for your team on the Audi feed!

And so it begins, tents starting to appear

That's awesome! Just like Sebring, only 100x bigger!

 

[Wardy 944]

That's awesome! Just like Sebring, only 100x better!

Fixed it for you

Good to see that they are still preparing the asphalt. Woohow

[poolhaas]

Cool, thanks 👍
I'm only there on sunday so it's nice to get some follow up when the race is started. GPS tracking looks great.

 

[Wardy 944]

Yeah the GPS is cool, gives you something to look at night when they turn the camera feeds off.

 

[MarcoM]

What do I see there. Frikadelli Racing Team. My favourite snack

 

[terminator363]

The track is under last minute construction! What do you guys think?

Edit: My race setup will be the live feed and it's audio in the background covered up by radio le mans, and the gps feed in the corner. Just like last year, Woo! I can't wait!

 

[Jav]

That little truck won't stop them! They'll just leave a poor soul there waving a little yellow flag! Lol!

 

[terminator363]

Yeah! Let's add a massive bump on the track and park a truck/lorry on the road for the drivers to avoid! Such fun!

 

[Prince.M5]

One thing that I hope they will address is possibilities to have a track TV coverage at night time. I'd love to see the cars driving around in the dark Nordschleife...

Also, good luck to our boy Chris. We will all be right behind you

 

[Jav]

Oh yeah! I wanna see that!!!

No, but this lot might.
