Well when you're at a race that's heavily sponsored by Gran Turismo, and you're talking to a member of a team whose drivers include the CEO of the company that came up with Gran Turismo, it's only natural that it'll get mentioned at some point, especially with the line between virtual and actual racing being blurred quite a bit by the GT Academy.
 
This interview has a hiiden agenda orchestrated by Gran Turismo's sponsorship.
Not really. Radio Le Mans is sponsored by Nissan and John Hindhaugh (from Sunderland - where Nissan UK are based) is sponsored by Nissan and covers GT Academy events for Nissan.

Also Michael Krumm is driving for GT Academy and Nissan at Le Mans with GT Academy drivers Lucas and Jann - and was one of the people involved in the launch of the very rare GT4 Online Test Edition. And is driving with Kazunori in this race.

It's not particularly hidden - they announce the Nissan sponsorship every half hour and I bet John's wearing his RLM/SimRaceWay/Nissan shirt right now - and it's not really anything to do with GT's sponsorship of the race.
 
So I just want to get this straight: Is Kaz indeed racing? I was under the impression he wasn't this year as I couldn't find any announcements he was, and I was thinking that the 15th Anniversary party thing was gonna keep him too busy to prepare.
 
Anyone fancy giving me a quick update on how things are going? I'm at college so I haven't had a chance to listen to the coverage since about 8 this morning.
 
^ What happened exactly? I missed it.

The Audi/Clio incident? An Audi dived up the inside of a Clio into the GP Track's hairpin, and there was clearly not enough room to do so, so it just swiped into the side of the Clio, both spun out, and they got the Audi back on track first, when (in my opinion anyway) they should've got the Clio back on first, as it was the victim.
 
Any ideas on what's up with the Manthey #18 RSR? On the GPS it keeps slowing down and it's currently saying it's stopped at Ex-Muhle :S .

Thanks for the info. 👍

My comment was above all sarcastic.
 
Nothing special, lots of crashes few battles.

Total rubbish. :dunce:

It is the driver of the faster car who is responsible for safely passing slower cars.

You are rubbish. Clio should give place, and not cut in his way treacherously. And Audi was pushed first because was the victim and had much more to loose. Blue flag is a blue flag.

Well, I know what I'm gonna do later on rFactor today.



Oh and hi everyone :D
 
It's moving again now, it might be patchy on the GPS, who knows, waiting for it come on screen. Romain Dumas on RLM doesn't seem too happy but I don't thing he's said the car is in mechanical trouble.
 
Oh, the 123 in 153rd place. Not the most winning pace, but better then what seemed like an eternity in the 160s.
 
You have the VLN mod? :lol:

Well not quite, but I finally have an somewhat up-to-date Nurburgring and a 2012 VLN skinpack for the Blancpain Endurance Series mod. So close enough :D
 
You are rubbish.
Do not address another member like that again.

He did give way and he didn't cut anything. He stayed on the outside line of the hairpin the entire time. The Audi steamed into the corner too fast and understeered straight into him.
 
Wasn't it Marc Gene who had to do that? ^

It's the responsibilty of the faster car to fascilitate a safe pass, the slow car should just stick to it's line.
