I like the look of the DTM cars, but SuperGT more so. I'm not sure if the new regs will make them more appealing visually, but hopefully they will. I wonder if they'll try to run it at the 'Ring? Who knows.

I was amazed to see that there was a heavy turnout of Porsche top brass:
Wolfgang Porsche -Chairman of the Supervisory Board at Porsche AG Matthias Müller - CEO of the Executive Board at Porsche AG Wolfgang Hatz - Board Member for Research and Development at Porsche AG Hartmut Kristen-Head of Porsche Motorsport (this one was expected) |

Because DTM officials are too proud in regards to their series. They think that they are the top dog in touring cars, and that other series have to implement THEIR regulations, instead of DTM implementing other series regs. For example, they even tried (briefly) to make V8 Supercars implement DTM regulations, to which the Aussies simply said, "No thanks."

Can someone fill me in on the modifications made to the Hankook- Farnbacher F458 to let it race in the SP8 or SP7 class that it ran in.

Still probably the best most traffic on board of the 24 hours of Nurburgring, and may be my favorite on board ever.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdbVshCCtrk It's Timo Bernhard chasing who I think is Uwe Alzen. |

Watching from the outside is the small part of the equation. How do they do it?

It looked like Turn one of the GP circuit and I thought they ran the combined GP and Nordschliefe to spread out the cars. And yet it still makes the ALMS/LM competitors complaints about traffic seem weak at best.

One of the various layouts.
In this case Haug-Hook, shortcut and Veedol-S |

I think this is one of the VLN races not the Nurburgring 24.

For example: - You don't need full factory teams: See NASCAR. Hendrick, Childress and Earnhardt-Ganassi have all backing from Chevrolet but on track they race against each other. Same in V8 Supercars. Also professional privateers are a positive addition to the grid. - V8 Supercars is a good example of the fact you don't need high tech cars. Quote:
