  1. By the way, @Eco - Porsche recently started publishing nice video series on their youtube channel about their Le Mans history. Each episode features one legendary Porsche racing car and its drivers and engineers, presented by Timo Bernhard. 4 episodes already out, 2 more to be released. A great format, and perfect for any Porsche fan.
  2. Yeah, no injuries to anyone, as much as I remember. Spa and Nürburgring; you can always expect some proper shit weather Love it.
  3. Spa usually delivers in this aspect Hopefully, not too much of rain though, as I don't want to see it red-flagged prematurely again 2016 was just plain crazy. Watch this short video:
  4. The best drivers would be more correct, as the cars are all as equal as possible:) Also it's important to note that some teams in lower classes might simply choose to have a three driver lineup even if they are allowed 4!
  5. The asterisks indicate that the team takes part in the full season of Intercontinental GT Challenge, the rest are there just for this race only. As for number of drivers, there are different regulations for different classes within the race. Important - the classes are defined solely by driver categorisation while the cars are equal in terms of capability. Pro teams are allowed 3 drivers (no additional rules on categorisation), Silver teams are allowed up to 4 drivers (all Silver), in Pro-Am you can have a maximum of 2 Platinum and 2 Bronze drivers, and finally in Am you're allowed 4 drivers, with a maximum of 1 Silver driver - so either 4 Bronze, or 3 Bronze + 1 Silver. My favourite Pro driver is Kevin Estre, so I'll be rooting for car #21 (Rutronik Racing) to get the overall win. In Pro-Am, I'm always cheering for Herberth Motorsport (car #911) as I got to meet the Renauer brothers a long time ago, love the familial atmosphere in the team and have been following them ever since.
  6. For me, it's easy - I always support Porsche, and then have my favourite drivers (or in some series, also specific Porsche-backed teams), so I simply root for them.
  7. Jack Aitken is taking part, too Most of the best GT3 drivers are there!
  8. It's a bit more complicated, haha - it's actually a part of the calendar of Intercontinental GT Challenge racing series and also of GT World Challenge Europe series , but just like Nürburgring or Le Mans, it's also a solo race in a sense that it attracts a lot of teams and drivers that are not participating in the full season of the racing series.
  9. Yeah, that looks class... I booked my dad a drive with Ferrari 430 Spider on a racing track as his birthday present a few years ago. Only 20 minutes (4 laps), but we had a lot of fun...
  10. Yeah this weekend is going to be clogged with things to watch again... Football, F1, F3, Spa 24h... I use this to keep up, mostly: https://raceday.watch/ It even converts it to your local time automatically.
  11. Quali is later tonight, then super pole tomorrow evening. The race starts Saturday at 16:30 CEST!
  12. Both Roscosmos and NASA streams are live now. About 45 minutes until docking.

    He doesn't even know what KöPi is
  14. Been very lucky in that aspect so far *knocks on wood* Had a lot of scrapes, cuts, twists, bruises, etc., some of them were pretty painful and whatnot, but in the end, none were really serious. My worst injury was torn ankle ligaments/partial ankle fracture while playing basketball. Other than that, had a very bad food poisoning once.
  15. The good news is that the rest of the rainforest across the Amazonian Basin still absorbs more carbon than it releases, and it is still able to offset the negative trend in Brazil. The bad news is, with deforestation, illegal logging, biomass burning, land grabbing, cattle ranching, dam-building and other similar activities continuing in combination with droughts, and drying soil, it's just a question of time when it turns into a savannah.
  16. Apollo 11 and also Mission Control: The Unsung Heroes of Apollo are both on Netflix now, with a lot of archival footage and new interviews. Well worth a watch.
  17. Got this as my next non-fiction read. I must admit I know VERY little of Taiping rebellion and the civil war, so I'm really eager to read this book.
  18. Molde have just announced their new signing who is touted as a replacement for Aursnes, so hopefully that means he'll be allowed to join us now once the transfer window in Norway opens on Sunday!
  19. You're attaching the pics, not embedding them, right? Because embedding doesn't work at all.
  20. Impossible! Are you quoting someone when trying to post a pic, by any chance? If yes, does the quoted post have any smileys? If yes, remove them. If not, are there other things in your post that might be the reason it doesn't go through?
