2013 Nurburgring 24hours 19th-20th May

So because Of this will they push the end of the race back?

 

[Flaco13]

you can easily get back to bed, its not going to start till at least 2 more hours

So because Of this will they push the end of the race back?

No, it´ll end at 17:00 local time (5pm)

 

[Savolainen83]

They just continue from where they left, the race clock has ticked the whole time.

 

[jjjkr20]

Ohh now I know. Thanks.

 

[Flaco13]

Would actually be cool to add that to GT too! ha ha, weather on 100% you can go to sleep and when you wake up race 2 more laps and gold the 24h Nürburgring event!

 

[Sixflags48]

Really is too bad that this grand endurance race will just become two smaller ones.

 

[Flaco13]

If it had started saturday, as it usually does, there wouldn´t have been any stoping, because weather was fine sat. to sunday

Are those RC-boats? On Asphalt??

EDIT: or someone just referencing the race to a boat race?

Looks like Eschback to me

And to nascer49 - They can let the drivers and a few techs sleep during this time.

 

[Flaco13]

A german expression fits the situation:

"Das Rennen fiel ins Wasser" literally "The race fell into the water" meaning race is going to pot

Just references. Making jokes

Since it red flag, started doing a few laps on gt5 using R8lms. Races hards are to fast at stock setup. Gonna try sport soft to try to match audis time at comfy pace

Edit. Sport softy a bit to fast as well

👍

It kind messes up everyone's start of the week too. Mildly annoying that it carries on in to Monday morning. This weekend would have been even better to me if it finished today.

 

[Norante]

Shame...

not sure if true

Just sharing

Edit

 

[Pilitev]

It won't be dry when the broadcasting restarts at 7:00

 

[Sixflags48]

It just has to be dry enough.

 

[Pilitev]

Yeah but at 7:00 it's probably still raining, from this point there's hours of rain to come.

 

[terminator363]

Ok this is ridiculous, I guess everyone just went to bed

 

[Savolainen83]

I didn't, still listening RML and playing the official feed on the background.

 

[jjjkr20]

Well looks like I'll have to watch the end tomorrow in my German class

 

[RACECAR]

Sunrise looks like its finally happening.

 

[Whodoyouthink]

The FB page seems to be saying a 7:30AM restart time...this kinda sucks. Really takes away from the 24hr vibe.

Hope Le Mans this year isn't like this. I know it gets a lot of full course cations and stuff, but at least they only last a few hours.

Bet the Spa 24 is gonna be like this as well. Has horrible rain when it does rain, and they commonly stop the race for too much rain from I've heard.

 

[Sixflags48]

Still rockin' the ring with 100% rain, no problems there.

Oh look at those headlights in the distance, wish they belonged to the GT3 cars

 

[Savolainen83]

Intervention vehicles going around the GP circuit on their way to the north loop.

Ahh, ok, that makes sense now, thank you

 

[Sixflags48]

Official live timing positions are back up!

 

[Tired Tyres]

It's getting light as well.
