So Christian Abt is out of the car, Basseng now on the #2. And Rocky replaces Basseng on the #1.

Wusst ich's doch, den Namen kennst doch auch aus dem anderen Forum, so viele kommen nicht aus GE und haben den gleichen Nickname
Denke mal Montag sehr früh los mit meinem Vater, wollten dann Arbeitskollegen, der vermutlich am Brünnchen campen wird, besuchen. Also nicht die kompletten 24h :/ Does anyone know why Abt us out of the car? |

Which race is more prestigous do you think? The 24 hours of Spa or the 24 hours of Nurburgring? I'm not really sure, what are your thoughts?

For me it has to be 24 Hours of Nuburgring, just for the sheer challenge of the track, let alone winning overall after 24 hours. Spa is a great track for sure, but the Nordschleife is on a whole other level.

They still have a solid grid but it is mostly the usual SRO suspects, lacking many top drivers that can be found at sports cars' other top events. The Nürburgring 24h basically has everything. Top notch drivers, teams, a stunning track, incredible atmosphere... Spa looks more like a national event in comparison. |

Everything but prototypes! That would be insane though.

Does anyone have experience with buying tickets at the track (Brünnchen) itself? I'm likely going, but as usually in Germany, ticket shops are useless: ADAC only has weekend tickets, eventim is charging shitloads of extra costs and the Nürburgring Shop doesn't even sell any tickets online. I'd like to know if there's a chance on Saturday that day tickets are sold out and if there will be extra costs to the tickets. Obviously I'd buy the tickets from the track, not some shady dealer, but I have no problem buying from a fan who has a ticket left over.
Thanks, hope anyone can help me! |

@ miguel: it's no problem, to get a ticket trackside for cash. it's a wristband this for a free entrance at every trackside. it could be wet - be prepared! ;-)

Faded to obscurity??? With a full grid and works entries from Audi/BMW/McLaren it holds its own against any of the endurance classics Lacking many top drivers???? Kristensen/Lotterer/Fassler in 2012..............etc., etc The Nürburgring 24 is a fantastic race and not to be missed, but so is Spa 24..............I will be at both. |

I hope the LFA does well also. Should be faster than their other LFAs Gazoo has ran.

Rain might be a bit of a challenge, but I (and the camera) also survived last year's monsoon at the Spa 24h |

Btw. "Morizo" is a nickname of Akio Toyoda. In 2009 he was the last time at the wheel of the L-FA. Another Lexus gave him an escort on track - not racing at all. http://lexusenthusiast.com/2013/05/0...24-hours-race/ |

I know he is Morizo. He raced the LFA before they made the production model. If he is doing the same here I wonder what car he is 'seasoning'. Btw the LFA has won their SP8 class in the 24 before, and in VLN. Reliability should be good, but they will need to stay clean.

Can't wait for the race, have Monday off so I can actually watch the end this time! Finishes early Monday morning here!
Any live streams announced yet? Maybe for the duration of the weekend a sticky can be made with streaming details so you don't have to troll though this thread to find them? |

Black and white is also a color combination, Okay, not much colorful, but quite elegant in this livery.

Any Brits going over or anyone else for that matter, spread the word with Save the Ring, let people know this place could be sold to Hyundai or anyone else, could mean end of Tourist laps.
It is up for sale this week, for all our sakes we must keep it in public ownership, and have this amazing event every year that you all enjoy so much Am hoping to get overt there next year, enjoy and spread the word! |

www.24h-rennen.de http://tv.sport1.de/player/player.php?id=s765428 The German sports-channel www.sport1.de make also a live-report of parts of the race. you can see the race at their homepage or at www.zattoo.com (> sport1). I think you have to use proxtube or something else "to watch from Germany." Sport 1 will show: Quote:
Sometimes you read days later in the web, what happens to a car, which quit the race. Btw. I won a ticket for the Nissan Race Camp to survive the rain. Fine. Last edited by Babapapa; 13 May 2013 at 21:15. |

I'm hoping for a radio signal of either Radio Le Mans or VLN at the back of the track, but that's probably futile.
