Looking forward to this race! Will Schubert be running there Z4's again this year? that green livery they have on the cars last year was awesome looking, maybe the best looking cars of the entire year.

They're also running an all-girl car in the A3T class, also a BMW. http://www.24hdubai.com/ENTRY-LIST |

don't you mean 'Dick Werner (USA)' ?
Potential winning lineups in there that I can see are: #1 Black Falcon Mercedes (huge favourites, but no Sean Edwards is saddening) #4 Fach AT Porsche #7 Craft AMR Aston Martin #30 RAM Ferrari (although not a car I've seen do well in enduros) #38 All-Inkl Mercedes #76 Schubert BMW with #16 Race Alliance Ferrari as an outside shot. |

Agreed, sad to see that Markus Winkelhock returns to Audi and never comes back though. I love the Basseng/Winkelhock pair

I see that A6 has a Corvette C6R and a Ferrari GT2 as well. What about those teams? You'd think a GTE based car would be pretty strong against GT3's.

Beautiful. Love this first race of the season and was glad to have RLM accompany me at work for a few hours last year for some sessions and the race itself. Not a big fan of the circuit but gets the racing ball rolling early on.

Another questionable rule introduced by race organizers Creventic (after the ridiculous bracketed lap times, which are maintain for all bar the Pro entries btw):

And it seems to be live TV coverage on their website from thursday quali through the whole race. And an iPad/iPhone app to monitor car positions etc live on your phone. I might get deeply involved in this race

The RAM Racing cars look awesome too in chrome.

Interesting to see Paul Dalla Lana getting seat time in a Z4 before Daytona. It seems he is not the only one using this race as a warm up. Several other drivers, including hired guns as well as gentlemen, will be racing as well. There are definitely some impressive teams and lineups in A6. |

Nicky Pastorelli on pole in a 7-liter Vette ... six makes in the top seven spots, and times in the 1:57s.
Looking forward to a great race. |

Yeah I wonder how strong that all-dutch driver lineup is? Would love for that vette to be a contender. The car is obviously fast
All-Inkl SLS a bit disappointing almost two seconds behind pole. Bleekemolen quals both falcon SLS cars, wonder how they'll share him during the race. |

Looks like there is good online streaming coverage but will qualifying and the race be archived? I'm going on Radio Le Mans audio podcasts for now. What is great is that I think every major manufactruer in GT racing is represented in this race. You even have a Bentely and a Corvette in it. Gotta cheer for Mercedes though, especially Bernd's team.

no Bentley there, is there?
is the Corvette running Am or Pro class? Just wondering if it's going to have to slow down shortly after the start or not. |

Code 60 rule, which was invented by Dutch National Racing Team (DNRT), replaces the traditional full course yellow system. Typically when an incident occurs during the race, yellow flags are deployed when an accident happens at a particular point on a circuit. If this is a big incident then a full course yellow is declared and a pace car is deployed. The field file in behind it until the circuit is deemed safe, whereupon the safety car peels into the pitlane and the race resumes. With Code 6, which is implemented with a designated flag deployed at the marshal points around the circuit, cars are then required to reduce their speed to 60 km/h maximum and circulate at this speed until the Code 60 is lifted and racing resumes. During the slow down period marshals can attend to the incident/accident safely without interrupting the race. http://live.24hseries.com/Latest-24H-Series-news |
