Its the first practise of the Nurburgring 24 h. But before that, a demonstration run of a special car, this one being the 2002 Winner of the DTM series, the ABT Audi TT-R.
Halfway through the Lap, It's raining heavily. but the TT-r Is on slicks! It crashes, and causes a delay in the proceedings.
Half an hour Later Practise one starts in the heavy rain.
Quickest in the practise was the Esso Ultraflo Supra- 6'52.672, followed by the Arta ASL Gaiyara with a 6'59.398
On the Final lap, the Arta Gaiyara suddenly slows down. No one knows what's going on.
Qualifying started in the usual manner, with all the cars working fine.
The Problem in The ASL had been fixed as far as they could tell, but there seemed to be something different about this car.....
The First lap, the GT3 Class ASL set the fastest time of 6'58.792.
Due to an engine failure, the Esso Ultraflo Supra did not partake in the session, relegating it to the back of the GT2 grid.
Halfway through the second lap, Horror struck the ASL. It had crashed into the AU Cerumo Supra, and bounced across the Track, Hitting the D2 Mercedes.
That would be the end of the race for the ASL, as the Damage was unrepairable to start the race.
Qualifying would take place 3 hours after the crash.
Very nice set of pics with excellent colour ballances.. But the first three pics all seem to be doing the same thing, which while they all exude a sense of speed, all have a "doesn't this look familiar?" touch. . Still cartloads better than what I do, though.👍
Probably the last update before I Stop Submitting to this Gallery... I probably will submit some more images in the Photomode comps, but as the time draws near.... Well we'll see what happens
I Most likely wont get GT5 straight away, but you never know.. The worst case is that I get it 6 months later, but since i got a part time Job, Money really hasn't been a problem.
One.... Last.... Time....
