Awake

Not Sober..

This is my favourite 24hour race each year. Somedsy I'll have to go to the event live. It's on the bucket list.

Do it, but don't leave it that late. It's not expensive and it IS better than anything else you will go to!

 

[McKiernan]

I just gotta try and rope one or two mates into comin along. They might come for the party but sadly they just ain't as interested in the racing as me.

#48 Merc losing its rear tyre when coming out of the pits!

And now crew members running across a live track with equipment.

 

[-Fred-]

Is this for real? Pit crew walking down a live track to fix the car?!?

Sets an interesting precedent if they let it fly.

That marshal didn't look too pleased

How many of you in here are planning stay awake for the whole race? only 16 hours and 15 minutes to go.

Also, anyone have a link to a live ticker which would feature gps tracking with track map?

I've totally failed trying to do that. I woke up this morning, had the laptop connected to the tv, watched the first hour, fell asleep for 2 hours, and I just woke up from another 2 and a half hour nap.

Leader in the wall. Think I'll have another brew

 

[Savolainen83]

#98 is seventh. Go BMW Go!

 

[Jezza819]

The #911 would have to serve a 3:30 penalty for Code 60 violation. Unfortunately that's not necessary now.

 

[McKiernan]

I'm kinda hoping the Aston can do well

 

[Jezza819]

Nice job for the Aston get up there and get involved in the Audi/Mercedes battle.

Time for a rain dance?

 

[BallPtPenTheif]

So a porsche had to take surface roads to get back to the pit?

 

[Savolainen83]

Time for a rain dance?

Nürburgring. At night. With rain.

 

[Bram Turismo]

What a stunning view: Thunderstorms at night on the Nordschleife!

 

[McKiernan]

Lightning getting worse. There may be trouble ahead.

 

[Jezza819]

Raining on the GP track.

 

[BallPtPenTheif]

I just learned the origin of the word, bunghole. This broadcast is both entertaining and educational.

 

[Savolainen83]

We have rain now.

 

[Spacegoat]

Disappointing that the #911 is out.

Rain should makes things interesting.

 

[Sentry87]

Lead change and commentators not notice?

 

[Savolainen83]

Might be a stupid question but does the N24h apply any kind of BoP to the SP9 class cars? Since its so depressing to see the BMW's being so far behind in pace compared to the others in class.
