ADAC Zurich 24 Hours of Nurburgring 2016

[Aloha62_2]

Can't have an hour delay for weather that might happen, might as well call the race off with how weather is around those parts.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Not the usual kind of traffic.

 

[Aloha62_2]

Ugh, its delays like this and the multiple hours delays at lemans which really damage endurance racing.

 

[Nielsen]

Are they repairing the track or something? The weather looks absolutely fine now.

Is it true that people bring mobile phones with them during the race in order to let their team know?

Yes, because sometimes and given the area the reception for their team radio isn't always the best, and so they're able to contact the team whether or not everything is okay and let them know if they crashed. Not sure if that's necessarely the case for the 24h, but that's the case for VLN and RCN, and probably for all of the participating amateur teams.

Have to presume so, no other reason unless the race director is paid by the hour and prefers an easy life.

Be careful out on that dry clean track guys, you might get swept away...

I thought they were (slowly) working on getting the cars back on the track in time for the restart. Takes a while with 150 cars.

 

[girabyt3]

Looks like cars are returning now!

It's supposed to rain again at the time of the restart.

 

[Aloha62_2]

It's supposed to rain again at the time of the restart.

Which is why they should have been doing this an hour ago, the field would have spread, the tyres would be warm and the drivers will have set a line. Rather then starting in a clump with cold tyres and changing conditions.

But an hour ago, the barrier was not fixed yet.

But an hour ago, the barrier was not fixed yet.

They have used slow zones and SC's in the past for barrier repairs.

Rain, Hail, Crash, slide, skid, red flag, prepare for restart, less rain, expecting more rain.

Science class with RLM! How paper is made.




Edit:

 

[girabyt3]

We know that lol

 

[Aloha62_2]

'Who cares if it starts later?'

Uhm... everyone who is watching thanks!

Shame they didn't include this into the GTSport.

If we have the R8 LMS, probably we could have the new R8 as well

BUT does it have the lightbar or not?

Green flag.

 

[girabyt3]

Green flag.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

#23 BMW M6 has problems on the grid.

 

[Savolainen83]

Poor #23, don't quit yet!

 

[Ameer67]

Nurburgring. Never gets old.

 

[Bo]

Sitting on the grid. Getting a bit wet.

It appears like the Manta Foxtail twitter account isn't tweeting this year.
