I don't think the 4 will pit, but do think the 912 will.

I was completely wrong. Not sure why the 4 slowed down really.

Not the 911 I was hoping for, but congratulations to the #912 for a fantastic N24 victory.

That was good stuff! After watching off and on for the first 14 hours, I missed the start of the downpours and red flags but followed the last 2 hours. What a fun, unique race as always.

Great race as always! Shame I couldn't follow the middle half that much. Congrats to Manthey for the win!

The Nürburgring always serves a great race, so no surprises, those who get to see it live are so lucky. Manthay do it again

I quite like the idea of a 1 stop dash for the cash to culminate an endurance race, not pure I know but maybe someone like Creventic should experiment with that format

 Just about recovered from my first N24. What a stunning place it is. I knew the circuit was special but wow. Just magic to be trackside on the Nordschleife. I got sunburnt, soaked and a red flag for fog so I think that is an authentic N24 experience. Will have some photos up in the next day or so. Thanks to Rodger Davies for showing me around! |

I guess once you go, you can't wait to go back. I don't think you'll ever hear a bad word said against the circuit. It's certainly a big difference from other motorsport events. Just remember to bring all weather gear, as it can be very fickle! I would love to go one day, who knows?

I didn't watch the whole race or even most of it. I did see a lot of code 60's and slow zones when I tuned in though. I think that was a shame because it really hurts and helps some competitors. That's all part of the race I guess with having so many classes and different speed levels. I'd really like to see some more variety at the top of the field though. Seemed like it was a German manufacturer washout. The only different cars were the lone Aston Martin and the Glickenhaus. Maybe next year!

I didn't catch the beginning or much of the event until about midway, but wow. What a race! It certainly didn't disappoint. What those drivers were doing in the periods of heavy rain and fog is the absolute definition of bonkers. Following along with the in-car cameras as they made their way through the mountains was a real highlight. Absolutely fantastic.

Obviously Nurburgring didn’t disappoint. It’s rare you find people complimenting on every accept of a race weekend. Greatest race circuit ever

First time at the N24 - having had a couple of practice runs at the VLN which is the same, but totally different !
Walked the track Saturday - well got to Adenau and decided it was nearly as short to keep going (the completist in me !). it's a long way and very hilly :-) Well worth it too. Watched the start just after Bergwerk where they are all coming through flat out - brilliant. Back Sunday morning to Brunnchen and walked down as far as Schwalbenschwantz before the red flag flew. Then back to the start for the finish - eventually finding an open car park as far way as possible from the track (A1). Superb view of part two from the Mecrcedes Tribune with a real appreciation of the changing / lack of visibiity. Link to some photos will follow soon. Congrats to Manthey ! |

Looks like I have to save up to go. Just hearing all this makes me realise what I am missing. One day

Here are some shots I took from the race if anyone is interested. A cool place for photography. You'd need a few years to get to everywhere.
