Cerastes 204 Report post Posted May 9, 2018 For those of you interested; this weekend is the Nurburgring 24hrs. Last year I watched it online and even though it was 24hrs I thought there would be some big gaps between cars, but if I remember correctly it rained in the last hour or so and some cars came out of nowhere to almost win it. Others spinning off on slicks and that was all in the daylight. Wait until night. Here's an on board video just to wet your appetite. On another note, tickets aren't that expensive for lots of track action. Maybe an idea for a nice little club event . Camp at one of the corners, chat, eat, drink (I know a lot of you like to do that) and watch some racing too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The N24 is by far my favourite race of the year and in fact I'm just booking to go and watch the August VLN round 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerastes 204 Report post Posted May 9, 2018 @Deacon VLN? I do like endurance racing, it always seems to be closer than I think. I think a few months ago I watched a 6hr event and the gaps were still 10secs or so. Which I think is remarkable considering F1 gaps are sometimes longer and that's just about 1hr 30mins of racing. Also if I remember correctly there were some gt86's in nurburgring 24hrs last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deacon 1357 Report post Posted May 9, 2018 Yeah totally agreed the racing is so good and so close. Info on the VLN series is below:- http://www.nuerburgring.de/en/events-tickets/automobile/vln.html There's usually quite a few 86/BRZ's that take part including Tim Shricks Roots Racing BRZ which I'm looking forwards to seeing in person. I'm going to the August round which is the fifth round and a 6 hour race on the calendar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
