24H Nurburgring 2018 Thread

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.

Yes, in between sessions, and before the race. Only the audi's gained an advantage in pre race bop, a weight reduction because they were so of pace in qualifying

Then how come the Mercs and Porsches are flying away from the rest of the field. I don't remember the BMW's having any major problems aside from the #99. Even a freaking last gen Aston is faster.

Might aswell go make few cheap cheeseburgers.

Because the BMW in general isn't that great of a car in that form. Which is why it's even better to hope the M8 replaces it soon enough.

I agree in that the M8 hopefully succeeds better but at the same time I fear they do the same to the M8 what they did with the M6, as in change to completely different model right when the M8 is nearing its full potential.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

M8 was done more to have a Le Mans legal race car anyways.

EDIT: added a "few" more pictures to this thread: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/how-to-drive-tokyo-r246-in-real-life.375924/

Yes they do. This is the most important race of them all to the German teams. That means loads and loads of sandbags. They have to try and not get fooled by that and apply proper Bop. Sometimes they get it right and sometimes they get it wrong....

Feels like BMW forgot to remove any and all sandbags before or during the race.

#98 stopped on the trackside...

And is getting towed behind the barriers...

Anyone have a link to a better timing screen then this: https://livetiming.azurewebsites.net/events/20/results?

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

[Savolainen83]

#7 back in pits after just three laps.

 

[Savolainen83]

Nothings happening in this thread.

 

[Tired Tyres]

That's because we are watching the race. The #7 has gone onto slicks..

 

[Savolainen83]

Audi #1 is having a small pause...

And now he's backing up, maybe he missed something.

Back on track and in the right direction.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Took a while to get that going.

 

[Tired Tyres]

#912 Porsche has a 3:32 penalty.

11AM that weather, rain, fog. Welcome to the Green Hell!
Love it and in between try to improve my own time at this track in PCars2 with a GT3

 

[Tired Tyres]

I don't think we are far away from a red flag for fog.

 

[George Jakob]

I don't think we are far away from a red flag for fog.

True but i hope not.

It doesn't look that foggy everywhere. Fuchsröhre has good visibility.

Red flags are out.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Red flags out.

 

[George Jakob]

Fair point but you called it just before it happend so i blame your mistical powers

 

[Savolainen83]

Had to do some household chores and wasn't near to feed, so have they announced when the race will continue? Any specific time or just once the fog has dissappeared?
