That was a 3 car mess right?

Audi TT 125 smoking into pits...
 
Never mind, just 2. 3rd barely escaped it.

One of the cars is upside down... This doesn't look good... :nervous:
 
Porsche got tapped on the rear quarter and lost footing.

R.I.P Nurburgring rabbit.
 
that looks nasty, good to see the driver stood by the wreakage
 
Strange that the Armco is acting as a takeoff ramp.
 
Front end totally ripped off that 77 BMW. Cockpit looks fine though.
 
Car #77... What was that one?

Oh hey, blue light still going.
 
Driver is ok, Blue flashing light survived too. All is well
 
At least the GT logo and slogan are getting lots of publicity. Mess of a car though.

It's not a noob question :sly:

Honestly though, I have no idea either. I see them on GT cars but I don't think they were on the LMPs...

The top 36 cars have them, it's helps the slower cars spot the faster ones
 
The top 36 qualifying cars have flashing blue lights.

Ok cool, but why? Any reason aside from making it easy on spectators / telling other drivers to move out of the way?
 
What is the position of Kaz's team?
 
Because they're the fastest 36 cars on track.
 
It's just so the back markers know to move when they come up behind.

They use flashing headlights to tell drivers that they are overtaking, and usually that means "hold your line" otherwise a crash can happen if they try to move out of the way for the faster car.
 
I just think that its to alert the slower cars. But I'm probably wrong.

It's on all the cars, part of a marketing plan me thinks. It's been the same for a few years.

#15 Audi R8 is in to pit from 3rd.

It's on a lot of tracks too. ........ Why is my official stream playing backwards?

Yeah i've seen them flash their brights, just seems odd to have the blue light aside from an indicator for spectators..

They're in 27th and have been from a while. They were higher up but had a small issue which dropped them down. #71 car.

Going to teach a class now. I'm counting on this thread for an update when I get back. Keep it posted!
