Yes, i will watch it. Hope one of the Audis will win, for the first time. Audi haven't won any Nurburgring 24H race yet correct? Here is the time.

Also, if you want to hear it in English (as my German is not the greatest) go to radiolemans.com for audio. :cheers:

NO DOUBT!!! The R8s are doing well and the TTRSs had a FANTASTIC start! The announcers were commenting on the 5+ second lead they had by the end of the GP circuit (first lap!)!!!

Not sure if being 14., 15., 16. and 17. could be considered ''not bad''...

Sorry, my post was based on 8:45am my time, not the time I posted at 9:46 as I was in the office for awhile. At the time they were in the top 10 overall. Stippler is now showing 11th, so still not bad. The biggest problem was with the number 17 R8 when it just stopped on track. :(

Where are the TTRSs in their class?
Benman

Stippler back into the top 10. :thumb:

Benman

The number #14, #15, #16, are running 6th, 10th 7th respectively! :cheers: The Playstation (#17) is way back in 31, 2 laps down :(

BTW, were you referring to their car numbers in your post? Trying to find out the TTRS driver. I am finding there is not much love for the 24HR NUR. :(

BTW, the Golf 24 (#235) is 25th overall!!! Outstanding!

Stippler is up to 5th!!! :thumb:

Mercedes SLS is still leading the GT3 class.

One Porsche I would like to see do well is the No 9 car, the hybrid. It was actually in the top 3 up until just an hour or so ago when it pulled into the garage after a small collision a half hour earlier. At the time, it appeared like no damage occurred and stayed out, but obviously something went wrong. It is now all the way back in 23rd...

And the Playstation R8 has had problems, AGAIN.
Benman

Audi up to 4th and 6th! :thumb:

Bad news coming in on the #135 Golf that was WAY out in front of its class! Sitting in front of pitlane. :(
Benman
June 25th, 2011, 21:48
Correction, I was thinking of #235 Golf 24... it is still WAY out in front and now up to 23rd overall!

20th overall for the top placed Lexus LFA!
Benman
June 26th, 2011, 02:10
Porsche and Mercedes in 1st, 2nd then it is Audi 3, 4, 5!!! :thumb!
Benman
June 26th, 2011, 02:14
Also, Frank Biela and gang are up to 17th overall in their lower classed (SP 4T) Audi, 4 full laps ahead of 2nd place!!!

just got up. had to register for radiolemans. since i can't understand der deutsch i dont know the placings so far with 1 hr left. looks like one R8 is pretty close.
Benman
June 26th, 2011, 13:20
RXBG, you don't need to register for radiolemans. You only need to click on "listen live" just above the log in area.

The R8s are close (4th, 5th, 6th) but need something to happen to the front runners to have a shot. Meanwhile, Frank Biela and crew are up to 14th now overall (class SP 4T)! Only a little over an hour and a half left.

Something is up with the #32 Mercedes and it had to pit... #14 R8 LMS just went past! The R8s now hold 1st, 2nd AND will hold 3rd for the GT3 class if the #32 doesn't get back out soon!!! Under 40 minutes to go! :cheers:

^ I'm at work. What's the overall standings? Don't look at the classes only.. Thanks
Benman
June 26th, 2011, 14:28
Overall:

Porsche 1st
BMW 2nd
Audi 3rd

NOOOOOO!!! #15 Audi just suffered a puncture and is limping back to the pits. This might prevent a class podium sweep!

***edit*** #15 back out and in action!
Benman
June 26th, 2011, 14:57
Porsche wins!
BMW and Audi complete the podium. The R8 LMSs take all three podium spots in their GT3 class! Biela in the top #125 TT RS win their class by EIGHT LAPS and place 14th overall, even beating out the higher classed Gallardo #34 with Hans Stuuck.

Good!
What are the class differences? Those two in front, what are their classes? Thought they were GT3 as well...
Benman
June 26th, 2011, 16:29
The differences are more down to technicalities, the first two were GT but not "GT3". I wish the class distinctions were more clear like Le Mans used to be. Now we GT, GTa, GTB, GTS, GTX,Y,Z... Ok, I exaggerate but you get the idea.

In the end, the R8 LMS was competitive but since they were technically in a different class they are able to post class wins. Hell, a class SWEEP!

Still amazed at how well the TTRS driven by former mutiple Le Mans winner Biela did!

Any other thoughts as to what they liked (or disliked) most about this years 24HR NUR?

My one complaint: Crappy coverage of the nighttime racing... One can only watch pit lane and the front straight for so long. ;)
