Reliability is a huge thing in endurance racing. Don't check your Whatapp please, and if you do, please know that I"m drinking a lot since Augsburg win this morning. I didn't say MAX, but I could cruise my VW in there, using my blinker and jamming to some music while going around and around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - the inside shots of these cars looks like a night club, and there appears to be almost no lights on the course so I'm not shocked that it gets wonky at night.

Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted September 20, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted September 20, 2020 This was a great race, even if we were missing quite a few participants and the fans due to the circumstances worldwide, but the drama alone was worth it. Gutted with Porsche being so poor this year. Toyota win was expected, but the Rebellions did well, and GTE Am and LMP2 classes truly delivered in terms of excitement. Missed 4 hours as had to have some sleep early in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can watch it live with English commentary on their official youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKgMzHVA7nsDsDEKKMc9bKA It's pretty much a GT3 race, so no LMP1/LMP2 prototypes like in Le Mans. I love it, as I don't really like prototypes anyway, and GT racing is the most fun for me. Also, the circuit is the best of the crop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eco 3,008 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 How much does quali matter in races that last 24 hours? I'd imagine with longevity being so important, that you'd not want to run your car too hard during quali in prep for the big race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as much, but as in any other race, you'd rather have a good starting position to be in front and have clean air for as long as possible, so it still matters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess i makes sense that some of my favorite races are in cities that aren't too populated. Le Mans, Monza, SPA, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco 3,008 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I mostly watched Le Mans at night, but this course looks like one of the most stunning courses I have ever seen. But it looks rather narrow so I'm not sure how much passing could take place if F1 were on this track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
