If you listen to what was being said, no car is exempt from this sort of thing. They all have things that can go wrong that will take ages to replace.

100. Surprised there are any BMW's left.

Well, there is the #33 at 16th position.

Of course but a headlight should be one of those things that you can change ASAP as they are more prone to damage than most. Especially on a car that height.

STI up to 36th
Supra 2nd in class

I mean, don't know if one can call that "racing" from the AMG. More like driving in the mirrors. There's about 13 hours to go. It won't survive the next corner driving like that.

True. But the entertainment value is through the roof. I'm sitting here, eating a T-Bone with a cold beer, watching Rast chase Van der Zande, and thinking to myself.... this is amazing... this is the only place I want to be. Call me dramatic, slightly intoxicated, or a complete moron. I'm zen as 🤬 right now.

How has Nurburgring figured out how to use slow zones without safety cars but LeMans can't?

Great question. Maybe just the nature of the track, and the headspace drivers have knowing what they are getting themselves into? Or maybe the FIA is just too far up their own as$ to figure it out.

 

[Morgoth_666]

well that's once around the clock. Porsche still going strong.

#89 Golf still hasn't given up since pitting after 4 laps. Engine has been completely removed and is mostly back in now 12 hours later.

 

[Savolainen83]

#33 has crawled up to 11th place overall.

 

[Morgoth_666]

Whoa the track is green. Wonder how long it will last this time?

 

[05XR8]

Supra up to 57th

 

[Savolainen83]

GREAT NEWS! THE MANTA HAS BEEN FIXED!!!!

LET THE FLAPPING CONTINUE!!

 

[Vinylshark]

Manta back in the race.

 

[sgohsixthree]

DRINK!!!! THE FOXTAIL LIVES!!!

Hi all. I had a disaster call followed by a minor league baseball game, so I missed the overnight hours in the race. Anything as wildly dramatic as the Manta sadness?

Time Code?

Sorry, I just got back.

The pole sitting #2 Merc clobbered the Supra, the Supra made it out, the Merc not so much. Another BMW went down, so only the #33 Falken remains. Glickenhaus was up to 2nd, then headlight issues forced it way back, but still fairly strong, despite a recent spin on the GP...probably more.

More importantly.

#89 all female Golf makes a return aswell.

Spiffy. Thanks! And go Manta! I had to leave shortly after its mishap.

The 89 "Girl" Golf has returned.

Opel Manta's back in the pits. Last lap: 8:58:17.419

And something appears to have expired it's engine... 94 SP3T Astra.


Edit: The 89 Golf taped down their hood and have their own undead lap now: 13:52.10.040

 

[Savolainen83]

Heeyy, #33 has risen to 10th position. 👍

 

[Savolainen83]

Apparently there is a BMW stopped in the middle of the track at Hatzenbach corners.

You could have picked any corner name and there probably would have been a BMW stopped there

 

[sgohsixthree]

Still great battle for 2nd! I love seeing the Yellow Calibra still putting around, minding its own business too.

 

[Savolainen83]

#48 having a small moment with the Viper CC.

 

[Morgoth_666]

Whatd'ya know, the 150 BMW went as far off as you can possibly go in Turn 1.

 

[Savolainen83]

BMW off at the first corner...

 

[Morgoth_666]

At least they brought lots of them
