I thought it wasn't until June? The spotter guide is excellent 👍

A few cars I'll be following throughout the race

#47 CC Car Collection Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (SP7) co driven by GTP's Christhedude

#50 – Manthey-Racing Porsche 911 GT3 R (SP9) for overall win

#123 – Schulze Motorsport Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 (SP9) Kazunori 👍

#132 – Intax Motorsport Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16 AMG (SP4) Old school cool

#140 – Kissling Motorsport Opel Manta (SP3) see above

 

[Azure Flare]

"Sex Bomb", what a great name for a race team.

 

[Eager Snake]

Ok then, rescheduling the race in GT5.
My father in law, a cousin, a friend and I will be playing the event in Gran Turismo, along with real one.

thanks for following me

Also follow me in the Porsche Carrera cup race

Going to be one hell of an exhausting race weekend for me ... racing 2 major races in one weekend

 

[Mac K]

I still think having the race go into Monday is a silly idea, I can just see it effecting spectator numbers both at the track and at home.. It's because of DTM right?

Will do 👍, Good luck staying awake

Monday's a bank holiday in Germany so the numbers at the track will be OK, but as you say the global audience will be a fraction of previous years.

 

[Mac K]

Monday is a holiday here in Canada, but I honestly don't think that'll matter as I can't see to many Canadians wathching this anyways sadly.. I'm gonna try and watch as much as I can, 24 hour races are awesome.

"Sex Bomb", what a great name for a race team.

This is why I love this race.

The livery of #107 is another reason to love it

 

[TopGearFTW]

I always have the thought to watch this, and the Le Mans 24h as well, and then never get round to it. I might have to look in to it this time. I'd prefer if I could watch it on actual TV rather than a live stream but I'll take what I can get

 

[Tommi]

I can't wait. There's going to be some great competition this year. 👍 Sadly I won't be able to follow the thread like I have for the past couple of years though.


Because i'll be there.

We should get some pics.

 

[Mac K]

Predictions for an overall win?

 

[Jav]

Predictions for an overall win?

I'm going for the #1 Phoenix Racing Audi team!

 

[Mac K]

Nah, Manthey Porsche thank you very much

 

[Jav]

Yes Manthey is definitely going to be very very strong as well as Team Schubert BMW and Mark VDS. So many good teams and so many great cars... God I LOVE this race!!!

I really love this race

 

[MarcoM]

Going there as well, from Saturday till Monday. And in my mind I am already there

 

[Mac K]

Any chance of time conversions for the start for various time zones in the OP?

 

[Jav]

Very good idea! Please?

Pretty cool vid from last year's race from the WRT Audi team:



And Team Schubert BMW:

Race starts at 1700 Sunday in Germany.

That is 1100 New York time.

Ontario should be 1100 as well, if my mind serves me well.

 

[Mac K]

I meant more for others, I know the conversion. Jav, those videos are great, do you know where the full movie is for the BMW one?

No clue, if it isn't on BMW's Youtube maybe iTunes??

I've added a time zone converter to the OP 👍



Also, I've just noticed Kazunori's GTR is in class SP9, so it'll be a full fat FIA GT3 2WD spec monster going for overall win

 

[livemusic]

I'll be out go karting on Sunday but I plan on watching at least part of it once I get back home.

 

[Pilitev]

Weather forecast looks promising

A friend who's hobby is Delta flying recommends this site. He needs pretty accurate forecastst.

Not too bad Poolhaas.
