I'm assuming the camels were entered into some experimental class?

Kinda like garage 56 at Le Mans...

pretty unimpressive trophies :odd:
good night everyone.
 
No SP2 podium celebration on the stream. :(

Edit: or maybe so.
 
Any diesels participating in the 24 hours?
 
That is absolutely amazing:eek:

Congrats to all the Academy guys:gtpflag:
 
Just heard all the GT Academy cars finished 1st and 3rd. Cue their social media avenues to point this out to us in the coming weeks :lol:

Well there was a D1 category with 5 cars, but more significantly the A3T class was won by the BMW 320D driven by my second favorite team in the race, the Racing Divas, who are five lovely Dutch babes. Well OK at least two of them are total babes. :drool: Now there's a team I'd like to work for, maybe as their massage therapist! :dopey:
 
Parabéns Miguel! By the way, if you see Kaz, convince him to bring portuguese circuits to GT6, like Ordonez did ;)
 
Is the Dubai 24 hours still a 24 hour drive around a carpark with speedcameras or is it an actual race now?

I didn't know a race with 77 entries wasn't actually considered a race.

Wealthy amateurs.

A race with minimum laptimes is like saying Usain Bolt runs to quick and making him start the race lying on his back.

Check the entry list. You'll find several world champions in all forms of motorsport, and multiple other professional drivers including several driving the #126 car for Nissan. Hardly filled with amateurs anymore. Next year Nissan is bringing an all out assault for overall victory with GT3 spec GT-R's. Honestly, I can't wait for next year.

minimum lap times only apply to pro-am classes. fully pro cars go as fast as they want.

I'll never understand why people deride the "wealthy amateur" motorsport. Like somehow making it a profit business is better? Racing is Racing... maybe u jelly bro?
 
Darn. I can't believe I missed it this year again :banghead::banghead::banghead:

This was my first year watching most of the race. Last year I only caught the podium. Before that missed it everytime.
 
Don't forget! Daytona 24H is in two weeks IIRC.

Nice troll posts. 👍 Did you even think of looking it up yourself before posting? Clearly not.

The Pro teams can run any time they like, no restriction. The Am teams run to a par time of 2.05.

The rules aren't posted on the official website but I thought if they went too quickly in qualifying their cars were destroyed with ballast (like Allan Simonsen's Ferrari at Bathurst last year).
 
Nice to see the Dubai 24 getting big numbers. That said, how come Salman wasn't able to participate?
