24h Nürburgring/VLN

[Atle Gulbrandsen]

Hi

I'm new to this forum, and wonders if there are some VLN/24h Nürburgring forum or news-sites in English.

All I can find is in German, but maybe this can be a place to post news/rumours in English?

I'm going to drive my sixth (partial) season in the VLN and the 24 hour race this season. I drive an Audi TT 2,0 TFSI in the SP3T-class for the Norwegian Audi Dealer Team "Møller Bil Motorsport". Check out www.mollerbil-motorsport.no



There are a lot of interesting news before this season as:
-Factory BMW M3
-New GT3 BMW Z4
-Alpina GT3 (so three different BMWs will fight for victory?)
-The Audi R8's are going for victory
-Porsche will be strong as always
-Vipers, Corvettes and Ford GT will be there I guess
-The Lexus LFA from Japan, maybe?
-Falken Nissan
-Some old DTM-cars?
-What about other GT3 cars as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Jaguar etc.?
-Mercedes?
-Will the Sciroccos return in SP3T (our class)?

Are there some other news before this season?

For me the VLN and the 24 hour race at the Nürburgring is one of the most interesting championships in the world. The circuit is the greatest in the world, there are almost as many spectators as Le Mans, the mix of cars is unique and the race is BIG in Germany.

But it's unfortunately not so big outside Germany, but it's getting bigger. I hope the race will become more international in the future, and I think the focus on the GT3-cars is the right way to go.

Let's post some VLN-news here!
