    24h N?rburgring Nordschleife

    This weekend the Nordschleife was packed with cars for the ADAC Zurich 24h-Rennen. Around 200 cars in lots of different classes.

    Overall winners were Timo Bernhard, Marc Lieb, Romain Dumas and Marcel Tiemann in a Porsche 911 GT3 RSR and they managed 148 laps.

    Here's a video of practice highlights.



    I really need to watch this race live some day!

    The flying Aston Martin is AWESOME.

    My coach crashed in his black Alfa after five minutes of his race.

    Only 23:55 to go!

    Anyway, it must be a complete pain in the *** to drive one of the faster cars with this much traffic on track as it is during the 24h. I found this clip of Richard G?ransson preparing the BMW Z4 for the 24h at the VLN 4 hours... just look at all the annoying traffic!

    That flag was clearly visible, I'm very surprised that he missed it.

    That said I one time missed the meat-ball flag for like 4 consecutive laps.

    Ryan,

    Careful now .. I'm watching

    Remember that the video camera is further back, with a wider FOV and is more central than me. The 2 cars I let by had blocked my view as I approached the corner and when the flag gets visible on the video I am already looking into the corner (bit quick there )

    Wouldn't have been so bad in a 20 minute sprint but we still had 22.5hrs to go so still feel pretty bad about it but as everyone keeps telling me (and I keep telling my bank manager/wife) "That's Racing!"

    I also noticed that the original crash video didn't get the YouTube HQ treatment so have reposted in a suitable format : http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=I94E-nAlbIk
