You know where you are? You're in the suburbs, baby. You're gonna drive.

And people wonder why I like this race more than Le Mans

God drat, how many hours are left? I can watch this on WEC's site without a VPN right?

This is a VLN race, it’s got nothing to do with WEC. There aren’t any cars that are eligible for VLN that are also able to race in WEC; the top class here is GT3 not GTE.

But you can watch the entire thing on YouTube for free, legally, at the link already posted.

That move by Estre for the lead was bonkers. Two wheels off at one of the very fastest parts of the track, and if you get it wrong there you’re going into the base of the bridge, hard, and then you roll downhill for about a minute.

There are 33 classes listed on the VLN site (https://www.vln.de/en/division-into-classes/)but I don't think all of them are in this race.

You probably saw the only SPX entrant: the SCG-003, which is built to FIA GT3 spec (the SP9 class here), but they don't make enough of them for homologation so it's in SPX.

FWIW it's not a VLN race either. This is put on by ADAC, the same organization that handles the GT Masters. They are closely coupled by being on the combined nurburgring and relying on the same permitting system and attracting similar entries, but are otherwise separate.

Campell was 2 seconds from nailing that IV in the door coming out onto the track, it looks like it just came out from that barrier exit

They say they can fix it and send the Manta back out again before end of the race. If they actually achieve this, they achieve another level of legendary, imo.

they just interviewed the team. Both axles need to be replaced, plus the front welded. Five to six hours, they say. I love endurance racing.

Yep, this is EXACTLY why I love endurance racing too. The teams of engineers and drivers just put on such fantastic performances, and it simply wouldn't work any other way.

I mean, I don't mind Michael Christensen being in the lead because :denmark:, but I didn't want him to not have competition for it - and I'm damned sure he'd want no competition either, because racing drivers are nuts like that. :(

He nailed a (Supra?) in the first corner, then pitted. Damage didnt seem too visibly bad but the car has been retired because of it.

How long is a stint? The commentators are referring to drivers doing singles and doubles, I thought the standard stint for Le Mans was 4 hours?

If you change drivers every other pit stop then a stint is 15-16 laps. At Le Mans a stint is around two hours. Actually it’s a bit less if a tank of gas lasts about 50 min.

Also the track is much longer and has many more turns than other tracks so the stinting is a little different than most other tracks.
