Fantastic to see the winner of Cup2 secure the win by pushing the car across the line. Marginal on fuel?

20 minute high lights show on Saturday afternoon, usually uploaded to YouTube via the official channel the next Wednesday. So you're gonna have to wait for a bit, but I'm sure it'll be well worth it! Until then, enough onboards and fan videos to enjoy

Nice everytime, Miguel!
Do you get wet at the circuit? Additional the Balance of Performance of the second VLN-race: http://www.vln.de/includes/download....erformance.pdf Interesting what the will make with the 2015-R8. The car seems to be superior in this series. |

Thanks for that. The restrictor size for the Audi's are a bit bigger than the others (aside from the GTR). Wonder if that will change? The Bentley seems quick too, but not like the SLS and new R8.

It's the same reason why some of the other SP's are making their way into the top 10 now. That, and rain has always been a big equalizer for the Carrera Cups, of course.

I already told my editor that I would NOT be shooting grid girls (with anything other than..oh well, you know the joke ). At least young girls will have Sabine Schmitz as a role model, I guess? And then no one else.
„Die vom DMSB erzwungene Einbremsung der GT3 Boliden führt nicht zwingend zu mehr Sicherheit an und auf der Nordschleife. Da nun der Topspeed nicht mehr so entscheidend ist, werden die Flügel auf noch mehr Downforce gestellt und die Kurvengeschwindigkeiten nehmen zu. Aber gerade der tragische Unfall vom ersten VLN Renntag ist dem Abriss dieses Anpressdruckes maßgeblich zuzuschreiben. Außerdem darf nicht vergessen werden, dass jeder Fahrer selbst eine große Mitverantwortung für das Verhalten seines Autos trägt und den Respekt vor der Nordschleife nie verlieren darf.“ https://www.facebook.com/permalink.p...47031878692020 Thought this was pretty interesting and spot on from Kremer Racing: the speed limits only cause cars to increase downforce, which was the main culprit in the Nissan crash. They will race the N24, though. |

I'm not too impressed by her racing skills. But I haven't had a close look at her lap times in VLN yet, so I might be wrong.

After the accident speed limits (200 km/h, 250 km/h on Höhe) were imposed, it is monitored by GPS but do the cars have like a secondary speed limiter for this purpose? Are ECUs that flexible?

One week before the race-weekend they announce the new BoP:

How does the Lexus LFA's BoP compare to 2014?
Also, I haven't actually bothered folowing VLN, and the "qualifying race" format was confusing, so could someone tell me if the Glickenhaus cars actually have any chance against GT3s... or is it like P4/5 fighting for "the rest" positions with Lexus and co again |

I seem to have overly many N24 related questions today, for WTCC as well, but are the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland races still streamed live somewhere? You know for the saturday morning support slot before WTCC and N24.
Also I don't see it being mentioned on RLM broadcast page but they don't always have everything there anyway. Just saying as sometimes they've covered the Porkie races at Ring |
