The International Livestream on YouTube seems pretty good too. English commentary and no adverts so far.

The Glickenhaus cars really look great don't they.

Falken Porsche looks fairly determined to stick with him too

Does anyone have a link to the live timing? was hoping to see how some friends are getting on in class V5

Streams and timing links etc on (my website) http://www.nurburgring.org.uk/n24.php

st, leading #704 Glickenhaus wheeled into the garage for work.

Your friends in the E36 M3 by any chance? :-)

Seems the#3 Merc hit the rear of the #704 Glickenhaus.

Thanks for the link

Thats the one, very jealous not to be out there, I think some VLN needs to happen next year

I went one year with a UK team running an Astra Mk II (yes, it was that long ago). In the small hours fog descended and the race was halted for several hours; within seconds all the timing monitors in the pit garages had been retuned to porn channels...!

1. 10 Audi out after collision with the same clio that hit the porsche at the start. #10 with puncture and broken steering was very lucky to avoid one of the Gickenhaus as it slewed across the track.

1. 44 Falken Porsche is back in the pits and being worked on.

It was a Cayman that it was close to hitting. Very close!

Why does the #8 AMG have a big phallic-looking tow bar on the back?

Well spotted, stupidly I just believed Martin Haven they need a shift change to get rid of him I think!

Was a bit scary when the audi slew across the track.

Great thinking for the #5 car, sending a new tyre out so it could get back.

Falken #44 is done it seems

Stroke of genius to use a treaded wet weather tyre on the grounds that it wouldn't matter if it picked up damage from bodywork.

What happened with the R8 contingent during the night?
They're decimated...

Audi rollover was a bit scary.

That Manta is indestructible I think! their twitter:

A little dazed, did anyone get the number of that Ferrari?

That'll be the only Ferrari in the race

Manta retired radiator got holed in that incident and cooked the engine apparently.

Alex Lynn's car (#43 BMW) has at best gone missing, likely retired.

Waiting to see on the Glickenhaus, damage looked fairly extensive.

[MitchT]

That's a shame - it was great to see an old Manta circulating. Nice to see an E36 too

[Riley Blue]

Loved their tool kit, a selection of lump hammers...
