2015 ADAC Zurich 24 Hours of Nurburgring

[RACECAR]

Internet went down so I'm steadily trying to catchup on things:

It's not every day you see a Kubelwagen pulling a Mercedes GT3 car out of the way.

So, a WWII car...pulled a modern day GT3 Race car...I cannot fathom.

Radio Le Mans: "This is a dining room. What could possibly go wrong with that!"

I suppose there's no point in asking if that's legal.

#26 having a fiery moment in the pitlane.

Barely breaking a sweat.

They are in sector 3 for more than 10 minutes now. Top 3 are already in the next lap.

Anyone else just catch Darren Cox saying you'll be able to drive the GT-R LM Nismo "very soon"?

I did - because it was my question that ended up teasing that answer out! Haha. I was the guy who asked about whether GTR-LM diecasts would be made for stop motions, and he confirmed yes, and would say that the car would be driven 'digitally' very soon. So yeah, pretty much confirming for sure that the GTR-LM will be in GT6.

If anyone is wondering what 'stop motions' means...as I imagine Darren himself is...here's an example. Call it a hobby that does me quite well.

Now showing in 9th

Looks like a crash/mechanical failure. All other cars changed to rain tires in the lap before. They would have come in after this lap..it's now 15 minutes in sector 3...

edit: just got confirmed: they had a crash in the Karussell

Mercedes losing tires, BMW burning in the box and Porsche/Bentley crashing. Seems like Audi has very good luck (and pace) again

Nooo

Aliens. Just aliens. No other explanation.

More news on Porsche #30 from a Sabine Schmitz interview on German TV confirms it was a big crash but Patrick Pilet is ok:

All of this news is coming from twitter.

Am I going blind or is there an M235i Racing F32 with an anime character on the side?

Also here is a collection of pictures of most of the participating cars.

You are voting for one of the little teams right (Kissling Motorsport isn't a little team)?

And a photo to keep the thread interesting.

Intervention vehicles on the Karoussel and shortly after it, might be the Porsche accident.

 

[Bo]

Karussell sounds like a disaster zone. Think there've been at least 2 major incidents together there.

 

[Wardy 944]

I know driver safety is paramount but I hope they don't red flag it for heavy rain and flooding

 

[psychoazubi]

They did that 2 years ago (for 8 hours) but the conditions were much worse back then.

 

[Duphman]

60 cars missing

It definitely seems like the rain is shaking things up at the moment.

Werner has binned the #19 BMW on the Doettinger. Sounds big.

Are you sure it's the #19? Reporters said it was in the box 5 mins ago

Nooooo

 

[Bo]

It wasn't clear initially, now it sounds like this was the crash that brought it in.

 

[psychoazubi]

On the other hand, it is already in the pits for a long time (5 min) and the last lap was over 14 minutes. So crash and made it to the box maybe?

 

[Wardy 944]

At this point I'm not going to bet against an Audi 1,2,3

Still long time to go... and 2 BMW and a Porsche not too far away
