Sadly the hybrid Porsche just stopped with a technical defect. BMW now leading with the nr. 25 Alzen/Lamy/Farfus/Muller M3 GT2.

this is so sad - I was watching an overhead helio and it kept focusing on a specific car and I had a bad feeling it was this one - well...they outlasted the highly rated Audis and Ferrari now in second...I'm quite happy with that...go Farnbacher..

If BMW clinches this one with their new M3 GT2,they'll be sending a nice salute to all GT2 contenders entered for Le Mans in a month...

I am a bit disappointed ; the technological risk is not rewarded today. The Porsche #9 is brought back on a lorry...

The performance of BMW bodes well for Le Mans though.

And Lamy could tie Tiemann's record, right on the eve of the 24 with the Pug.

News coming via Sport1 that the Bimmer needs a gearbox change. So the story has more chapters to come.

For finally getting the chance to follow the N24 from start to finish (for the first time) I must say this is what make endurance/sports car racing what it's all about! Unfortunate for those teams that worked so hard to see them run into trouble, but I mean the drama is incomparable!

It's been a fantastic race to watch and I can't wait for this last hour, especially hearing the Bimmer might be in trouble! I was hoping for the Audi's at the start, specifically with Stucky driving, but now I fancy the Bimmer and suddenly Ferrari's debut with Farnbacher may still have a word! What a race!

I hope this result of Farnbacher opens the eyes at Maranello so they enter (semi) factory entries in the future.

Nary a Porsche to be seen until 6th place, and a Ferrari in 2nd, and it's not even 2012 yet!

40 minutes to go & the final chapter is still being written - BMW smoking in the pits, Ferrari to win on their debut?

This is outstanding

Wow this is so disappointening for the Hybrid . Also a very, very bad day for Manthey and Porsche in general. But the Hybrid certainly showed its potential! It could well be the racecar of the future! New chance next month I guess?

I would say the hybrid technology proved itself - the problem was nothing to do with that.

Manthey & Porsche need to just forget this weekend.

BMW & Ferrari completely defied the odds, but the real winners are anyone who has followed the race throughout the whole 24 hours - this has been a classic.

So BMW holds on for the win and Ferrari 2nd in their first Nurburgring 24. Once again Porsche has had a major failure in a 24 hour race. This is becoming a habit. At least Audi managed a podium finish for all their problems.
