Doesn't seem to be because of an accident...
Are there any form of guarantee that Manthey can use to get a new one? (did they have an insurance on it?)

I think so. There's a lot of white powder on the track.

Good battle for P2 right now, less than a second between Haase and Biela.

VLN 10 entry list looks superb. VDS is back with Maxime and Palttala, and Schubert are bringing their BMWs as well. Westy and Bergmeister are back. New British GT squad Cyber Racing are bringing their GT3 Vantage to the party as well. http://vln.de/includes/download.php?...012-10-27s.pdf

Just watched a documentary on German TV about the Nurburgring 2009 project. What a mess and corruption.

Press release from Opel today:
Quote:
Circuit: “Astra OPC Cup” part of the VLN endurance championships

The automotive element of Opel’s involvement on the circuit is the new Astra OPC. It is being made available from the 2013 season onwards as a racing version for customer sports. The Cup cars are engineered to match the "VLN Endurance Championship" standards which are the most popular grass roots racing series in Europe. The cars will also compete in a brand trophy in their own class ("Astra OPC Cup"). The highlight of the season is expected to be a 24-hour race on the Nuerburgring race track.

An especially attractive benefits package is being offered for private competitors, which is not limited to top performance and affordable cutting edge racing technology. In addition to the rally project, there is a pot of money with attractive cash prizes. Additionally, customers benefit from competitively priced spare parts as well as technical and organisational support on and off the race track.

Great to see Opel getting involved in motorsports again. Now if only they'd get back into DTM..

Rather than a one-make cup, I'd prefer the Astra to race agains the Golf / Scirocco, Focus, A-Class, 1er and A3.

Have that in the WTCC and a Vauxhall NGTC verison for the BTCC and I'll be happy!

Still, the VLN has some of the nicest looking cars in the world.

The Astra is a SP3T class car so it races against other brands in VLN and N24.

It's way under-spec'ed for SP3T, though...60-80bhp short vs the top contenders in the class and also with a much more subdued aero.
