The SP9-LG class, is that like "legacy" GT3? If that's the case I understand the Z4, but is the Bentley considered old now?

GO GO GO!!!

Love the fact that they're using a mix of on-board and helicopter chase cams for the broadcast.

Now I can't help but think of Johnny O' Connell's "Nurburgring 24 is the UFC of racing" quote he said when he was guesting in the radio booth at the Rolex 24.

 

[Savolainen83]

Big accident!

Two car crash involving the #79 Porsche and a Mercedes

Interesting to see a blue traffic advisor on those intervention vehicles. Vice versa compared to the real life where the lightbar is blue(/red) and the traffic advisor is amber.

Smart people: I know Dominik Farnbacher is listed in a car for the N24, but is Mario also meant to be racing?

Interested to know as they're also doing I'ntl GT Open this weekend...

 

[Silver Arrows]

[Slider47]

Flaming Lambo

[Silver Arrows]

#250 M235i Racing is done, tires all screwy and brakes possibly on fire.

 

[Tired Tyres]

The Viper lives.

#704 back in pits. No race win for it.

 

[Savolainen83]

Manta has spun! Rear damaged.

 

[Slider47]

that looks like a big hit on the back of the Manta

 

[Tired Tyres]

Manta has spun!

No. Manta has gone into the barrier.

 

[Silver Arrows]

SCG #704 LIVES!

 

[Tired Tyres]

Is there anything a TCR can't race in?

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Isn't there also a 24H Series race here and a Blancpain Endurance race? This isn't the only 24 Hour race at the Nurburgring all year, right?

Le Mans?

RTL is doing some serious effort here for the broadcast. Nordschleife legend dirk adorf commentated the first hour and is now driving the m4 gt4 while commentating his whole lap on tv.

Isn't there also a 24H Series race here and a Blancpain Endurance race? This isn't the only 24 Hour race at the Nurburgring all year, right?

It is. Blancpain is only driving gp track and not 24h

No 24H Series event as far as I know. Blancpain runs its only 24 hour race at Spa.

It is the only 24 hour race here.

No race here

Blancpain uses the GP track. and it's either 3 hours or 1000km depending.

Edit. I'm too slow....

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Ah nice, so this is "The" 24 Hours of Nurburgring.

 

[Savolainen83]

Ah nice, so this is "The" 24 Hours of Nurburgring.

The one and only. Welcome aboard.

 

[Nielsen]

How do you fix a Manta? Beat it with a hammer.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

The one and only. Welcome aboard.

So what series is this and is this really just a race for bragging rights?
