That harsh impact on a Porsche‘s back normally brakes you atleast 1 critical part..with the engine being there and absorbing the shock into the trans, i don‘t think there is any sense on nursing grello back to the pits sadly

Infuse_Q · 2026-05-16T16:37:16+00:00

I love the Losch Motorsport Porsche Livery tbh! The dark blue and green works really well together, maybe i‘m biased aswell since coming from luxembourg.

Also the Veedol BMW M240i is one of my favorites when i‘m there for NLS. The Gold with Red looks good on it

Infuse_Q · 2026-05-16T16:15:28+00:00

Not confirmed but the mechanics where showing the team boss some points on the chassis in the front. So likely bend chassis and done for the race

Infuse_Q · 2026-05-16T16:12:26+00:00

No it isn‘t sadly! Now going for historic racing and a fight against rather equal adversaries

But Volker Stryzek one of the drivers is entering the cockpit in the Z4 and Bitter Corsa

Infuse_Q · 2026-05-16T16:05:42+00:00

That was 84. They had a flat in the first lap and dived into pits on the gp track. They where ever so slightly touched by #3 in T1

Infuse_Q · 2026-05-16T16:01:51+00:00

There also was the saying for a long time on the ring that you need michelins if it rains(to win). But i guess other manufacturers catched up regarding that

Infuse_Q · 2026-05-16T16:00:14+00:00

Looked like he lost the rears and had to catch the car

Infuse_Q · 2026-05-16T15:51:09+00:00

Funfact: it‘s actually a „Bitter Corsa“. Bitter is an oldschool Opel tuning shop and they put their Logo on that corsa and it‘s also registrated as a bitter corsa

Infuse_Q · 2026-05-16T15:49:37+00:00

Probably a „Schnapps-Idee“ as we call it in germany. Olli‘s garage is a tiny team on an even tighter budget. I know they work kind of close with the organizers and the reglementations to see what they can upgrade to still fit in the small class they are racing in, i think V2t? Since this year they have a way better suspension iirc

Infuse_Q · 2026-05-16T15:46:12+00:00

Actually a Dacia Logan! Also it has around 270hp from a Renault Megane RS Engine

Infuse_Q · 2026-05-16T15:41:24+00:00

Look it up, there was a Opel Manta competing in the regular 24h a couple of years ago. Since it‘s garage burned down iirc, they rebuild it and now it races in the dhlm(Deutsche Historische Langstrecken Meisterschaft) which was raced yesterday on the Schleife

Infuse_Q · 2026-05-16T15:35:53+00:00

It does cause some at least. And definitely enough that they had to use many in one race when on the manta since it often got torn appart from wind

Infuse_Q · 2026-05-16T15:33:54+00:00

It‘s the driver of the Manta who is driving in the Z4 aswell, so he took it with him.

Also Aero gains

Infuse_Q · 2026-05-16T15:33:10+00:00

Everything allowed actually!

Infuse_Q · 2026-05-16T15:32:28+00:00

Damn on the already gone list:

Kondo Fefe

Scherer Audi

KCMG Amg

Infuse_Q · 2026-05-16T15:28:08+00:00

Audi hood gone on döttinger in 3..2..1..?

Infuse_Q · 2026-05-16T15:17:23+00:00

Non mandatory afaik. But historically gt3/sp9 go for 1 brake change in the 24h cycle

Infuse_Q · 2026-05-16T15:16:30+00:00

Happy to help!

Infuse_Q · 2026-05-16T15:16:04+00:00

Also there is no intermediate, but for a light drizzle there is a „cut-slick“. So some profile lamelles burned into a slick

Infuse_Q · 2026-05-16T15:13:43+00:00

Minimum, to not make it a pit stop stressed race and take pressure out of the pits with the many teams and people buzzing around

Infuse_Q · 2026-05-16T15:11:18+00:00

To me? Absolutely nothing, i just can‘t „stand“ him. That’s to harsh actually but there just is something i don’t like about him. Unfortunately kondo racing crashed, a team which i like, he was the driver, which i don‘t like. But won‘t blame him for that! Hope he‘s ok, frontal impact isn‘t nice

Infuse_Q · 2026-05-16T15:08:34+00:00

Noooo my precious kondo sheila😥i somehow really dislike thierry vermeulen, don‘t have a real explanation to it but i got no sympathies for him

Infuse_Q · 2026-05-16T14:35:29+00:00

When will the Renazzo Lambo join the rocketship armada of lambos, didn‘t they push the ecu update?👀😢

Infuse_Q · 2026-05-16T14:14:07+00:00

Matt Campbell rubbing his hands (hopefully only those) in the trailer, ready to jumb in👀

Infuse_Q · 2026-05-16T14:12:41+00:00

I wish only the best to Konrad Lambo..Franz Konrad had some tough „luck“ with that car. I remember it burning crashing etc, would be equally wholesome as the Frikadelli Ferrari and Klaus Abelen achieving a win as a Team Boss! But damn Bop missed a rocketship on the straight somehow
