About..Damn..time. Every single time one of these massive races come around, I'm always rooting for the Z4s and they never win. My heart just sank when the 45 had its problem while leading and I just thought "Dammit, there it goes again" only to see the sister 46 car take the lead and keep it for the rest of the race. Awesome race, hate that I didn't post more in hear like I usually would've but R3E sort've took a lot of my time with the free drive weekend. Anyhow, great to finally see the Z4 win one of these for once and for Marc VDS to finally get a victory here after trying many times.
 
I'm pleased with the result, congrats to MarcVDS on the win, a bit gutted that the other car retired, and definately gutted for the Roal Z4.

I like Spa too, beautiful circuit, and a good event. That's now the last 24 hour race of the year for me, Silverstone, Nürburgring, le Mans, and finally Spa.. each have their merits but Spa is a good all rounder.
 


Interesting crash from Satuday's Trofeo Abarth support race (had no idea such a silly thing exists).

It's in the Motorsport OMG/WTF Moments thread. And I don't know what makes European one-make touring car racing silly.

I see, didn't know that. But it was part of the race weekend so I figured it would fit in somehow.

And I just think it's silly they bother to race such a grocery-getter. Looking in to it further, I realize now they've been racing them for decades, but I'm still not convinced it's really an awesome racing platform.

Google what a touring car is.

It's called cost-effective, close racing. There's nothing wrong with the platform.
 
I like touring cars too, very competitive and like a giant fist fight at times (to an extent) lol. GT racing and Touring Cars are both fun to watch. I wish CBS or NBC would get the rights to the BTCC and Super GT.
 
Not quite as silly as this.

The Micra Cup is one of the best novice motorsport programmes ever created. The costs are ridiculously low, it's a true production touring car, and the calendar is very well put together.

Hey, all congratulations to BMW on their triumph at the 2015 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps. I've always liked the Z4 GT, even when I barely won races with it in Gran Turismo 6's GT3 series. Here's something I know will make a lot of you happy- German manufacturers winning major sportscar races NOT named Audi. We already saw Porsche win Le Mans back in June. Now, BMW being atop the standings at the 2015 Spa 24h. Great stuff.
