>that gran autismo sticker

>you will never race your shitbox with some lads and a barely trained pitcrew on the same track and the same time as million dollar operations from Audi Sport, BMW Motorsport, Porsche Motorsport, M Sport, SCG, Prodrive Racing, Gazoo Racing, NISMO, Reiter Engineering etc.

Do we have anyone on Veeky Forums willing to sacrifice their shitbox?

Livestream here:

Fuckin sweet. More old cars. Manta will hopefully be back (they did squeeze out other notable old cars along the "recent" ten years).

Oh, cool, the Glickenhaus is back. They were pretty strong.

Every half hour there is an english commentary.
Like right now.

how good are mantas? there's a few that aren't that pricey on the local used car sites and they look pretty neat

pretty good imho.

The days of dirt cheap mantas are long gone though. It's not terribly large or heavy, RWD, IRS. Engines are meh, but there's potential and bits are available. And mechanicals in general are robust.
rust protection is average 80s, so kinda shit.

imho it doesn't take much to make them look cool.

also
>good luck to the guys and their calibra, nice wheels too

Livestream at 8pm CET ->1st Qualifying for the 24h Nurburgring

Is the foxtail manta in this one?

Sweet!

forgot pic

Manta Foxtail is a classic at the 24h Burgerring
His twitter btw:

Get ready for #FLAPODYNAMICS

7 Foxtails for the whole Race

1st Qualifying just started - and it also starts to rain. HYPE

My favorite race of the year. Awesome.

can confirm:

Manta is participating
livetiming.tracktime.info/nurburgring#screen-results

search for "Manta"

Question:

Is the Vodafone live-stream viewable by you Americans or is it regionally blocked?

youtube.com/watch?v=PHO-LpY3Qqc

Do you have any other stream?

Vodafone stream will be mainly German with English updates every 30 min.

I wanna see that Calibra race

patience

Today is Top 30 Qualifying. GT3

Yeah, i already posted that one.
Quite nice, but the Onboard-Cams are a bit fucked

I live 2 hours away from the Ring.

Tickets are probably sold out though.

I think you can watch for free or for the small camping fee all around the Nordschleife public places. Tickets are for pit lane and the stands.

oh well, I'm blind, I guess.
Well, I'm happy they
a) stream for free
b) stream all 24h
c) have any onboard at all

Anywhere other than the stands and pit area is a major PITA if you stay there for the full 3 days though.

best place at Hocheichen

Depends, I have a camping chair and I know several people all around the track, one camps at Schwalbenschwanz, one at Adenauer Forst. Just hopp on the shuttle bus and drive to a different location.

Quiddelbacher Höhe I nearly crashed right at the bridge, last time I was there ...

For the Non-Germans here:

Mute the German Vodafone stream and listen to Radio Le Lans:
www.radiolemans.co

...

HAHA TIME FOR FOXTAIL

7 Foxtails
If you're lucky and find one you'll have luck forever

>AMG GT3s
my dick is ready

...

They get shorter over time, you'll probably not find one that's unscathed

Vanthoor in #1 R8 is swimming relatively slow

dick is unzipped but I don't think it's enough

I'm German but I rather listen to Radio Le Mans than the original commentary with the video. Muted that one.

Hopefully on race day there will be a stream with just sound effects and no commentary. Or with RLM overlayed on sound effects. There usually is.

I had a slot car of the 1995 dtm

CALIBRA IS ON THE TRACK

>Why didn't you enter your car into the VLN season?

I don't like getting passed by DHL vans.
youtube.com/watch?v=ugXAJCiGn7E

the moral of this story: stay away from cross polos and other crapboxes.

Anyone else here ever driven a round on the Nordschleife?

>Schrick in the STi
neat

do you know of any camps between hohe acht and schwalbenschwanz ?

and what is your favourite part section of the track ?

I'm sure I'll find someone I know at Brünnchen or Wippermann, but just because there are so many people.

Favourite part for watching or driving?
>Favourite part for watching tourist laps:
Adenauer Forst because of all the tourist drivers that don't get the corner and drive straight into the gras or do a 360 or crash over the curbs
>Favourite part for watching races
wherever there are some cool people to watch the race with.
>Where you get to see a lot (long distance, lots of action):
Hatzenbach from Hocheichen, you get to see all along from entry Hatzenbach all through the several bends down Hocheichen nearly all down to Quiddelbacher Höhe
>Favourite part to drive:
Hatzenbach because I really learned to nail that combination of bends (and I love combinations of bends) even though I *nearly* crashed at Quiddelbacher Höhe right afterwards.
>Favourite part for party:
Brünnchen, of course, but it tends to get messy as people start to ignore the race just to drink and party

either drive or watch I would like to go to Nürburg someday

>Favourite part for watching tourist laps
Adenauer Forst I think is after a blind crest and a increasing radius so that confuses people ?
youtube.com/watch?v=0xwc54G2Ur8

>Where you get to see a lot
Hatzenbach from Hocheichen sounds good
and the drivers will be fresh too rather than later in the corse

>Favourite part to drive
>I really learned to nail that combination of bends (and I love combinations of bends)
that's what I like about the top left of the track after the first karussell
especially that it goes downhill looks like a lot of fun and potential for accident

crash into and kill the leading audi driver

>Why didn't you enter your car into the VLN season?
Somebody already did the previous years. Not sure if they're running this year.

>spoiler: it's a slow fucking car, with awesome camber gain (in the positive direction), and a sloppy whore gearbox. god knows why they chose this car other than the 190E connection. a 328 or 320 would run circles around it.

>drivers will bei fresh at Hatzenbach
Yeah well, that only really counts at tourist laps. In a race there's no refreshing at the end/start of a lap.

>top left of the track after the first Karussell ging downhill
Uh, I guess this is ment independent from Hatzenbach? Top left (mapwise) has no Karussell and after Karussell is uphill to Hohe Acht.
Not sure what you mean there.

Oh, I found out Bugs Bunny is the nickname of Guido Wirtz.

2nd Qualifying right now.
Audi TT Cup 1st Race right after. Come and watch the Stream!

They all have those

Just get a Ford Capri

I have to work.

What class is that V5?

>Someone has entered their Opel Calibra to race in the 24hr Nurburgring.
Wait, you can do that? You can just enter a non-shitbox car and run with the big boys?

I know there's literally zero chance of doing anything beyond MAYBE completing the race, but that still seems so fucking cool.

>Caymans
cute

Check out the entry list

There is always a few shitboxes. Thailand's Corolla is always a good one

SCG P4/5 Competizione just had a crash ... fuck

>Argentinian team presenting two cars
>Hype
>Cayman s
>Hype over

m80, I would be willing to sacrifice my life.

24h thread

How many spare part would a team like that have for a one off car?

Also, never knew Abt Sportsline forsook their Audi allegiance.

...

>tfw can't enjoy watching 24hr of Nurb with you guys because lost interest
at least I've really had a great time with you guys, this is the last year for me

>/sp/ fuck off and follow a ball
24h of Nürburgring is Veeky Forums

>American Car
>Not turning
>Crashing at burgerking ring

WHAT A SUPRISE

The real question is how do we cheat enough to be competitive?

Even better, use this stream: youtube.com/watch?v=5zspyrZ07Ok

And play both at once

Hnnnnggggg... I think i just had my second stroke of the day :(

>mustang understeers into wall
>as expected
>not a scratch on it
>wat

bilt ferd tuff

youtube.com/watch?v=5zspyrZ07Ok

oh hai

Yeah this was exactly what I was after. Good job outta you.

The other things I'll be looking for later is the ambient pit lane sounds, late at night, usually the Subaru feed, and various in-car feeds with engine noises.

Then I'll be ready.

I'll post any decent stuff I find during the race.

THANK YOU MANTA
