Do tell me more? From what I have read, I suspect that they will make it a tuned engine to offer to their road going clients (once the engine has been race developed).

Entry list for Saturday: http://bit.ly/17WMShv
Haribo Racing is back! Also, GT Corse with a 458 GT3. Isn't that the first time for a 458 GT3 in VLN? Anyone here going? |

I believe I read somewhere that GT Corse modified this car for the Ring on their own, but I might very well be wrong.
Gonna be interesting to see what it is capable off. Too bad rain is in the forecast for Saturday so we might not even know until next year how good it really is. |

Any chance of seeing the new Viper GT3 at the N24 next year? That'd be awesome

Wasn't that bad from where I was watching, but from what I've heard there was "some" trouble down hill. Lost track of the leaders after that first scramble in the rain. Saw the second placed Twin Busch Audi pass by later on the back of a truck, missing the left rear wheel.
When was the last time a non-GT3 car won the race? Also, mad props for the McLaren, for lasting more than two laps and even finishing the race! |

Doesn't seem like the McLaren likes the Ring currently...quite a shame.

I would say that the McLaren GT3 isn´t a very consistent car, with continuous reliability and race incidents.

Was planning on going to DTM in Zandvoort this weekend, until I was told I can't park my car nearby at the track. Now I'm reading Marc VDS is racing VLN at the same day. So it'll be the Nürburgring for me again this weekend. |

Some **** went down in the last lap resulting in some front runners retiring, and Brünnchen was scattered with broken GTs, so although the third place is a well deserved result for Dörr, it might not represent their true form at the moment. Still, second race in a row without any major problems for the McLaren, that's great for the team. I hope they can build upon that.
