Nurburgring 24 Hour Event

[boxedin]

Great race, and great streaming coverage this year, the night coverage being much improved.

Radio Le Mans as usual are on great form.

Looks like we're on for a win though, as the Cotswold BMW Diesel #111 is still leading in the AT class :-)

Fantastic race this year so far. It's staggering that this race is so reflectively unknown. - the 6 pages here against the 50-100 for each F1 race says it all.

All night coverage has been a great surprise this year! Although has made me very tired today!

Snatched a bit of sleep around dawn...

Watching two Mercs duelling after 21 hrs is great - greater still is seeing the E34 still going! Not seen the Manta, timing says pits so still running? Questionable move by the 88 car leaving the yellow flag zone, but somehow #9 is back in front for now.

Slowest overtake ?

Looks like it could be a photo finish after 24hrs! Brilliant.

Manta hasn't been seen since the restart.

Oh my fking god this finish!!!!

[RenesisEvo]

Incredible last few laps, it was brewing but wow, that really was close! Hope the #4 doesn't get a penalty, a bit too aggressive for my liking. 0.7 second gap over the line for the last lap, MOV of just 5.7 seconds after 24 hours. And breathe...!

[EnglishTony]

Excellent entertainment.

[Truckosaurus]

Excellent Finish. I really like the variety of the N24.

[Allyc85]

Sounds like an incredible race, will there be any tv highlights?

Clutch broke I was told.

No. 4 move on final lap was protested, but was thrown out, result stands.

Apparently a couple of the #29 drivers left their trophies on the podium.

Great race, sad to see less variety but still having from an Opel Manta all the way to an AMG GT is special to watch.

I'll always wonder how people can love F1 so much when races like this take place. I mean seriously a car you can actually buy is racing around the most exciting race track in the world for 24 hours against GT3's and you still get more excited about F1....Goes the same for Le Mans Mans...

I quite agree. But then again, all most people know regards to Motorsport is F1; it's the only series getting mainstream coverage, and most aren't prepared to look for better/ more interesting events.

The N24 was endurance racing at its finest - 24 hours ( well 20 actually) and it comes down to the last 2 laps, and a winning margin of 5 secs. Fantastic!! The coverage was even better this year, and is in my opinion the best motor race of the whole year.

We did it! Some mates and I walked the track, I might need replacement legs at the moment but after a bit of rest and some time to sort through nearly a thousand photos I'll have a story to share.

I'd be keen to hear all about it. The coverage online was ace.
