although there are additional cars like the glickenhaus-ferrari, the lexus lf-a, gazoo racing with the toyota GT86 and a few aston martin and ginettas to view. there are not GT3, but make some noise also. very good decision btw. to travel to that race. you are invited to have some beers at our tents. please hide the gp-circuit and take your place at the nordschleife. there you will get the experience of the magic of the green hell! better will be arriving on wednesday (thursday is everytime a holiday in germany) to take your first drinks and at the first days, get calm in the evening on friday to get enough power for the hole race. it's a shame to fall asleep or get too tired during the night of the race. |

i may well take you up on that invitation, if I can find you amongst the other 250000! Unfortunately, my days off work are limited, so I will only arrive at the circuit on Friday night - one thing I do at most circuits I visit is walk an entire lap (I've even done it at LM when you can't see the track) so the aim is to bring my boots, start early and complete a lap of hiking by the end!
Would love to see the Lexus' if there's a chance of the LF-A showing up again, but I assumed they have done the VLN in previous years so was unsure about their participation. |

Just saw the 7 Audi lineups for the N24 over at E-I and wow, there are 5 potential race-winners there. Very excited for this year's edition, just wish we had a ringer like Farnbacher's prancing horse to break up the usual Germanic hordes.

Thanks for the picture! Nice little Lexus. Are they entering the LFA this year in the 24? I have not had the chance to see the entry list.

but on friday night you can have a walk on the track, because on friday the race action stops earlier and the racetrack had to be painted. between klostertalkurve and schwalbenschwanz every part of the track can be seen and this part of the track is very interesting. if you want, we reserve a place for your car and tent. on friday it will be very crowdy and so can camp nearby the trackside (and so wake early on saturday with the first race action

hmm, i'm going to get back to you about that, I will most likely take you up on that very kind offer thank you!
Anyone know what sort of Nissan the GTR that Lucas Ordonez will be driving is? Guessing it's the same car as last year, but until it's confirmed I'm going to hope it's a GT3! |

I'm betting its the GT3. Hopefully they enter one in SP9 and challenge for the overall win.

He's not as slow as you make him out to be. In his other stints with teams there, he's been only a few seconds slower. If he only does a couple of stints and leave the other drivers to handle the main duty, they could do well!

meh, they're not GT3s anyway, production spec machines similar to last year apparently - still, they'll sound nice enough and at least they're not a 3-series!

Yeah, if it's not a GT3, it doesn't matter much IMO. They're still something different being a GTR.

No - I don't like the BoP part of it (and I believe it was getting out of hand), but the track along with the cars and the teams make it an outstanding series.

But N24 is still gonna be as fabulous as ever, as said before the level of quality in teams is fabulous, atmosphere is on par with Le Mans and the track itself loses to no-one. I can always ignore SP9/GT3 freak show from my mind and concentrate on other classes. |
