2013 Nurburgring 24hours 19th-20th May

[Downhill Dino]

I didn't realize they had engine problems. Hope they get back on track sooner then later!

The #50 Manthey Porsche should have the advantage over the #18 Manthey Porsche now right? The #50 is a GT3 car, so it has traction control where as the #18 is a GTE car and lacks traction control, correct?

Hi Leute,
bittere Enttäuschung für uns! Nach Kühlwasserverlust, Motorschaden! Wir sind grad dabei den Motor zu wechseln und hoffen, dass wir in den nächsten Stunden wieder am Rennen teilnehmen können....

So no hope for a win:/

Yeh, I joined the stream late, thought they had retired since they had just been in the pits for so long but looked back on the news feed and saw they were changing the whole engine etc. Shame, but anything can happen in this race, hope they can gain back some lost time later on.

Nurburgring, night & rain

PS
Nice to see Audi R8 LMS premium in GT6, I hope there are other liveries available 👍

 

[Flaco13]

Kaz, if you think about adding engine damage, don´t let the changing of an engine take as long as it really does!

back on topic, hope they will have it done soon and go back on track.

Manta now heading back on top, 3rd in class SP3, have temporarly been 6th.

 

[Pilitev]

Well, only static camera's from now on..

 

[Savolainen83]

It seems its that time of the day when we can say goodbye to proper coverage and welcome the static pit-exit cam.

 

[20832]

AM is 23 Seconds in front of Audi. Awesome!

 

[Nielsen]

Now we're into the static pit camera phase, at least an excuse to to catch sleep.

 

[20832]

Any info on the place of the Schultze GT-R?

The two Manthey Racing are Porsches not Audis

 

[Downhill Dino]

21 laps behind that GT-R is. And ever so larger that number will grow. Tough race for them it must have been for them so far.

Pff stupid static cam... Ohwell.. Now we can bootup GT5 while listening to radio le mans

 

[Whodoyouthink]

Well what about us in North America/USA who still have a long day ahead of us? Only about 3:35PM over here on the East Coast!

I am working on the Nurburgring 24 in GT5 though, so maybe I'll do some more stints. I think I'm 15-16hrs in. Been chasing down 1st for HOURS! At one point I was about 3.5mins behind .

Do they do get back to proper coverage nice and early at least? Or do they take shorts breaks and do fairly intermittent coverage through the night?

True, the first Audi is 1:22.xxx behind the Aston

 

[Snake1405]

Nice!

/\ This, I play Halo all night and jump to the keyboard if something happens

 

[R0ssingt0n]

I'm guessing the stream will be staying with the current fixed angle at the end of the start/finish straight for most of the night now?

 

[Eryk03]

Nice!

What's nice?

If I recall, they should get back to coverage in about 2,5 hrs (midnight local time) and then again at 5 am local time... but I´m not sure

It should end around... 5 AM (their time) I believe. Can't remember how it went for them last year.

Usually comes back to life around 8am.

My bad, sorry
Too bad about the GT-R, but yeah the night could work for their favours.

 

[Pilitev]

Pff, it's a swimming pool there, seeing all that spray on the start/finish. Imagine how it on the rest of the track with all those hills

 

[Tired Tyres]

The Aston Martin is doing 8 laps per stint but the Manthey 911's and the fastest Audi's are doing 9 laps per stint. So they will get a free stop over the Aston Martin after 9 pitstops.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Usually comes back to life around 8am.

I was close. Admittedly 4 hours off, but close!

On the race:
I must say, I really didn't expect an Aston to be leading the race. What a change this year.

 

[Eryk03]

Porsches catching up the Aston

 

[Savolainen83]

nevermind

 

[Snake1405]

What's nice?
