[QUOTE=Kempi]well, he had the best chances, being entered on both BMWs.

Well, last year he didn't win, even thought he was also entered in the #1 BMW (but didn't race it, like this year), so he had the same chances as the other drivers

I was really hoping the Porsche could do it, but those BMWs are impressive. A wonderful race, which I wish I could have followed more.

What happened to the #14 Audi that was running top 10 all day? Also, what did the skyline crash into? Also, does anybody know what happened to the Messer Motorsport #30 GT3 Cup car, why didn't it start?

[PaulCherry]

Very informative site you have there 'Dodge'. Thanks for keeping us up to date with the action (in English! lol).

It's been called that since its first appearance in touringcar racing back in... - 1832??

Oh, go Swiss Mini Team!!!!

Guardrail. Schoysmann just put the right front wheel in the mud ever so slightly, and it instantly pulled the car off to the right and into the armco. Crunch.

Well, I am on the wrong side of the ocean to know much about that, and I haven't been a DSC subsciber for very long either----I am trying to catch up, but may not catch up that many years! Besides, it is a touring car

19Dodge: A couple of questions.

A) Who was driving at the time when the #46 Porsche had their problem that dropped them out of the race. I.E. Who missed the shift that caused the damage?

B) Who was the fastest driver in the #46 Porsche line-up?

Thanks, great site btw.

T*m* B*rnh*rdt

[Truckosaurus]

I see from the DSC results page that there was a driver entered as "Bugs, Bunny", who says the Germans don't have a sense of humour?

[cybersdorf]

In fact, they've listed the name the wrong way round - it should be "Bunny, Bugs".

Speaking as one of the poor marshals sat at the Kaurussell in all weathers, could we lease order some sun for next year?

Someone must have ticked the wrong box on the order form I guess, given the world-renowned German efficiency I am sure this will not happen again next year - on Le Mans weekend...

[vs346]

i hope its not on LM weekend again, that was a disaster.

[cybersdorf]

But it was the rule rather than the exception.

Nurburgring ? Sun ?
Doubt they know that there

Still helluva job to stay out there. I was fed up just being there (in the paddock in the hospitality unit) for one of the support races.
Job well done, marshals
