Great result for Falken too, good pace without errors. Is this team affected by the TUSCC withdrawal decision?

No, it's independent. I guess that doesn't preclude the sponsorship being suspended separately but there is no reason to expect it. Falken's been a sponsor at the N24 since well before they had any other sportscar involvement, backing the Nissan GTR that inhabited the Ring for many years before the Porsche. Falken is a race sponsor too, hence the branding on everyone's wheel arches. The #44 Porsche had a good run too, did them proud this year.
Audi was the class of the field, the BMW really seemed like it had the pace over 1 lap but the Audi was the best race car and that was pretty clear by half distance. If the Phoenix Audis hadn't been thrown at the scenery I think they would've had a crack at locking out the podium. A deserved win.
Have there been so many flash fuel fires in years past? I can't remember them, but living in the same time zone now I was able to watch much more of the daylight broadcast than normal.
