Frikadelli Racing with the BMW M6 GT3 in the VLN 6h because the Porsche's engine is too badly damaged to be fixed in time for the weekend. |

Akira Iida will join the Farnbacher Lexus team for this round. The other Lexus (Emil Frey) is out with damage and limited parts.

New inofficial VLN track record with 7.56 by the Black Falcon AMG GT by Manuel Metzger.
Wonder why the lap times in training don't cound as a record, only in the race. |

Because no scrutineering after qualifying, is my guess.
Also, seven cars sub-8, including Michele Di Martino. Keep your eyes on that guy. |

Lexus was on the cusp of breaking the 8:00 barrier in qualifying. Missed by a second. The Farnbacher Lexus was also (sadly) disqualified because of noise levels above 130db http://sportscar-info.de/2016/09/05/...nze-zum-opfer/

First time at VLN or indeed the Ring. Really enjoyed the experience although lack of German language skills (even "es regnet heute" wasn't needed) and data meant we didn't find out who was winning until right at the end.
Galleries here - https://flic.kr/s/aHskD3VoX7 - and here - https://flic.kr/s/aHskD3QZ8b - for your viewing pleasure. Local accomodation at decent rates, super pit and grid access before the race and what a challenging track. We aim to be back, for VLN or the N24 or both ! |

Thanks Miguel - it's so good to see Manthey back in green and yellow and this interpretation and modernisation of that livery is superb, definitely one of my favourites of the year so far.

It's beautiful, yes. I never liked the old livery and I'm glad Olaf said no to bringing it back :')

Just looking at the entry list for tomorrows race and noticed that there is no Wochenspiegel Porsche. Weiss is racing with Rinaldi in a 488 GT3.

Well, the Walkenhorst BMW M6 GT3 set a new record lap in qualifying- a 7:53.375! Didn't go their way in the race though.

Is there an English report somewhere?
By the way, has the Corvette GT3 raced in VLN yet? Last edited by Rodger Davies; 25 Sep 2016 at 22:27. |

I haven't written anything yet, and might not publish anything before Friday.
Corvette didn't race yet, but they plan to race either next race or VLN10. |

Thanks, always enjoy your reports but was just looking for a fix last night. YouTube sated my hunger. Great to see a 488 GT3 on track.

Manthey says GT3 in it's current form isn't suited for the Nordschleife
