Nurburgring 24hr 27-28th May

[Crafty_]

Busy weekend next weekend, Monaco GP + support series, Indy 500 with some Spanish guy racing in it, NASCAR run their longest race of the year, the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Speedway.

To add to that the Nurburgring 24 hour takes place over Saturday & Sunday. You might remember last year's race, when this happened not long after the start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWfk3QEbeKQ

I'm sure the teams will be hoping to avoid the chaos that ensued! Here's some highlights of the entire race https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djZToFEFw_0

This years entry list looks very busy, with a fair few brits entered, including Alex Lynn, who wrote a brief preview here: http://www.dailysportscar.com/2017/05/02/alex-lynn...
I think someone's having him on about it normally being dry !

Last year the race was streamed on you tube (with english commentary) and apparently this years race will be as well. Here's the official channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/ADACZurich24hRennen

Last year the NISMO channel streamed it too: https://www.youtube.com/user/nismotv2013 the entire race form last year is on their, but I guess they won't be doing it this year as they are not on the entry list, which is a little odd. Hopefully they are a late entry and will stream it.

Radio Lemans also provided commentary and I believe will also be doing so this year.

I'll add more links and info as I can find it.

Thanks for the links Crafty. Last year was awesome. I hope there is a way to watch and get the Radio LM commentary again.

[Stuart Thompson]

RLM are covering the whole VLN season in sound and vision this year.

Audi don't look pleased

Westphal made that happen, the other car was 8 seconds off.

I might well check some of the coverage online this weekend. It's one race I really need to bother with a lot more then just reading the odd report here and there.

It's incredible.

I just counted 50 sports channels on Sky Q, how is not one of them showing this? WTC just had their last race so cameras are in position, big brands, the site looks full, can't understand why at least motors tv aren't covering it.

[Crafty_]

They probably don't want to tie up a channel for 24 hours I suppose.

For the most part if its not F1 motorsport is invisible to the average punter. There's a hell of a lot of GT racing that goes on we don't see. This race actually has a bunch of support races too, they don't even stream those.
