ADAC Zurich 24 Hours of Nurburgring 2016

[Tired Tyres]

I told you something would happen. It has.

 

[Savolainen83]

I see

 

[CodeRedR51]

Stop watching the pit crews! Ugh. I hate when they do that. I want to see what's happening on track.

 

[MatskiMonk]

yeah this is pretty exciting, wonder if the push start will cause them a problem

 

[Huks]

This is why I love endurance, there's always drama at the very end.

 

[Tired Tyres]

#4 leads but does he have the fuel?

 

[MatskiMonk]

1 lap Nürburgring battle!

 

[IforceV8]

Dirty divebomb move

 

[CodeRedR51]

Hmm, not sure about that dive bomb.

 

[Tired Tyres]

It was legit. They where along side each other. #4 had a right to take the corner.

Yes if you dont brake then it is possible to make a pass.💡 Just ram the car beside you and it works like a wall.

 

[Tired Tyres]

5.6 seconds at the flag. I'd say that was entertaining.

 

[Savolainen83]

So its mercs 1-4. disappointing. Hopefully next year will be better for the BMW's.

 

[20832]

Uh, HTP's team chef wasn't very pleased with the outcome

 

[MatskiMonk]

Great finish. Well done done to the #4. I said the Merc's looked strong but I didn't expect them to lock out the podium. Just looking it up, looks like it's only Merc's 2nd ever win here.

edit:

Congrats to all finishers too. This is such a great race

Le Mans pffft

 

[Nessy]

What a race! My favourite Mercedes won! Yay!!!

 

[eran0004]

That was a fantastic end to the race! Legendary stuff!

 

[Huks]

What an intense finish to the legendary 24 Hours of Nürburgring. Congratulations to AMG Team Black Falcon for their second victory.

 

[TornadoFIAGTS]

Man the AMG destroyed the competition. Excellent race. Now I can't wait for the Indy 500 later today.

 

[TDZdave]

Well, Maro Engel has finally done something noteworthy, very pleased to see Adam Chrisdowhateverhismassivenameis win after the heart break of last year,

 

[GTP Ziggy]

The pass...

The win...

The excitement...

The dissapointment...

The victory...

What a 24 hours of Nurburgring! Congrats to Mercedes-Benz and Black Falcon for the win! Let's hope to see somrthing even more exciting for the 45th running of the Nurburgring 24 hours in 2017!

 

[Vegard]

What.A.Finish!

 

[Last Daimyo]

This just goes to show, not everything goes to plan and that racing is never finished until you crossed the finish line with the checkered flag. What an amazing race!

 

[Hetare21]

Sorry to interrupt you guys, but ticker says the collision between #4 and #29 is now under investigation.

EDIT: And no further action will be taken.

 

[Bram Turismo]

I have to say, though, the AMG GT3 looks phenomenal.
I never liked the SLS GT3, but the new AMG GT3 looks spectacular!

 

[Sertsa]

Haven't slept much, but that was a great race. I'm listening to the post tech; they just announced that there would be no further investigation into the #4 and #29 pass.

Some other random thoughts.
After the highlights I still feel bad for the #100 BMW.
The WRX finished 20th overall, winning its class, which is really impressive.
An E36 finished 54th.
Did the guy person who had to wear the bear outfit lose a bet?

 

[MatskiMonk]

Pretty poor result for the M6, I don't think it was there quite on pace anyway, but some bad luck didn't help.

 

[fortbo]

Really disappointed about how the Audi's did. I guess you can't win them all...

I would imagine you heard this on RLM, but for the benefit of those that didn't:

In qualifying for the last VLN race the driver of one of the M6s was given a delta to drive to, so that the car didn't appear as fast as it really was in order that they wouldn't get BoP'd before the 24hr. Unfortunately for BMW the dash didn't match the time he was set so he ended up going much faster than BMW wanted, to the tune of around 3-4 seconds. Having been rumbled they didn't hang back in the race, won by ages and got BoP'd for the 24.

The one that was running second for the first hour was well and truly on pace, and proved it later in the race by hassling the leader after it returned to circuit, the car is absolutely fine, but! And it feels weird saying this but I don't really believe that the BMW driver line ups were quite as strong as the Mercedes line ups,
