Trying to decide whether to avoid the result and watch back or to just give in and follow along whilst mountaineering in Scotland...

Put RLM on if you have enough battery and mobile signal.

Question - is it free to camp anywhere around the circuit (and are u allowed to just setup camp wherever you want)?

[LotusF1]

Only Thursday evening? Latecomers! We're on the ferry Wednesday evening, doing the trip with travel destinations as always. May see you there Stuart.

No, there's a camping fee in addition to the actual race ticket. And depending on when you arrive, many campsites may already be full.

No, we do it all off our own backs, we stay in Bonn Friday and Sunday nights and wander till we drop Saturday night.

@sonicracer: Information for campers:
http://www.nuerburgring.de/en/tours-...campsites.html

@ Lotus & stuart, Miguel..: Have a beer at our camp at the fence lefthand between A.Forest and Metzesfeld. (y)

The place will be reserved on Monday before we move in Wednesday evening.

Weather will be wonderful, just decided.

[Miguel]

I might walk up from Adenau to Adenauer Forst one evening or morning, but it'll be a busy weekend for me so might not have time. If I can still fix myself a scooter I'll definitely come by.

Here's a little interview with Moritz Oberheim, 235i and Cayman champion from the last two years, now junior driver at Manthey: http://www.gt-report.com/2017/05/21/...uiet-champion/

Is there any official word on streams for the race this year ? I've looked around but didn't find anything confirmed.

Nismo TV streamed it last year, but it doesn't look like they have an entry this year, so I guess they won't be doing it ?

[Victor_RO]

As far as I know, when RLM confirmed they'd be covering the full VLN season with their commentary on an official video stream, they said that deal includes the N24 too. They also did full commentary for the N24 quali race too.

So I would say - keep an eye on the RLM website. They linked the video streams there on all VLN races and also for the quali race, and at least in audio they'll be live for the 11th year in a row.

[Crafty_]

Fancy see you here Victor

Nothing on RLM site so far, I'll just keep an eye out I guess.

[Miguel]

I'd expect the Nürburgring to have a live stream, but don't know for sure.

In the coming days I'll be publishing a couple of interviews with former N24 winners. First one went up tonight. It's a short talk I had with Chris Haase a couple of weeks ago: http://www.gt-report.com/2017/05/22/...30-other-cars/

[Babapapa]

Good reports there, Miguel! I enjoy that a lot! (y)

Livestreams:

[Miguel]

Thanks Mikey!

Here's my press release for Matias Henkola (not a former winner and only good vibes for PR purpose But still a good read, if you ask me): http://www.gt-report.com/2017/05/23/...a-battlefield/

Live stream, boyz!

Für das ADAC Zurich 24h-Rennen schaltet die offizielle Homepage in den Livebetrieb: Das ganze Rennwochenende über ist die Adresse www.24h-rennen.de zuverlässige Quelle für die aktuellsten Informationen aus erster Hand. Hier gibt es den Vodafone-Livestream, den ausführlichen Renn-Ticker und Zeitnahmedaten auf einen Blick. Nur die WTCC-Rennen werden aus rechtlichen Gründen nicht im Bewegtbild übertragen – die FIA Tourenwagen-WM betreibt dafür ihr eigenes, kostenpflichtiges Angebot. Der 24h-Livestream wird erneut mit Hilfe von Vodafone produziert – eine Erfolgspartnerschaft, die im vergangenen Jahr erstmals zum Tragen kam. Durch aufwändige TV-Technik und das Know-How des Mobilfunkanbieters ist es möglich, auf der längsten Rennstrecke der Welt jeden Meter Rennaction zu übertragen. Dafür sind an wichtigen Streckenabschnitten TV-Kameras positioniert, andere Abschnitte können über eine Vielzahl eingesetzter Onboard-Kameras abgedeckt werden. So werden auch mehrere Kanäle möglich, die auf der Liveseite des 24h-Rennens parallel angeboten werden: Hier können die Zuschauer frei zwischen verschiedenen Onboards oder dem Zusammenschnitt der Regisseure von Nürburgring TV wechseln. Der Kommentar wird auf Deutsch und Englisch angeboten.

Excellent, so the same setup as for VLN and the quali race this year.

[nasdriv87]

so let's buy another extra pack of beer here!!!

[deggis]

Official streams are going to live here, just like last year:

https://www.youtube.com/user/vodafonedeutschland

And then embedded on the official site and elsewhere, but quickest you probably find them here. Practice and onboards for tomorrow are already listed:

And now off to the Ring, running massively behind schedule (And still won't be gone for another hour)

[GriffM3]

Jealous for those who get to attend this race. I have always wanted to go to the ring but have yet to make it. Have fun and enjoy and awesome race. Go BMW!
