Cant wait to see your VLN coverage this year.

I like that first photo of the Zakspeed AMG, geez that car is bright!

The Zakspeed is beautiful in those colours. And AMG really made a beautiful race car, instead of a road car with a race kit.

Here are some more photos: http://www.gt-report.com/2016/03/21/...he-road-pt-ii/

However, hugely crashed at 1st corner. Driver Hideki Yamauchi is slightly injured.

Here's a little interview I did with AMG's newest works driver, Adam Christodoulou. Some stuff about the new car, new VLN regulations, Blancpain GT, etc: http://www.gt-report.com/2016/03/23/...vln-this-year/

According to Tsutomu Tojo,

RC F's were in SPX last year as well. Probably because it's not homologated as a gt3 yet. But being entered in the 24 is news to me. Glad if true!

No, that's the location you've downloaded it to on your PC.

Manthey entering the works 991 GT3 R's

#911: Pilet & Bamber
#912: Bergmeister & Makowiecki

How come Manthey are entering 2 Cayman GT4's in SPX?

Because it wouldn't make sense for Manthey to race against their own customers. Not sure why SPX, though, I'll find out.

Didn't think of it like that, but it makes sense.

In free practice today a Cayman GT4 climbed the barrier at Fuchsröhre and landed 100m into the Forest. Driver luckily uninjured, car totalled.

Back to safety discussion I guess.

The car made quite a distance above the safty-barrier deep into the eifel-forest. Very lucky for the driver.
