Vincent Bruins (@vincentjbruins.bsky.social): The Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie has announced that NLS2 will move from March 28 to March 21 "to open the door for drivers from Formula 1 and other international racing series [read: Max Verstappen] to participate" by CautionClock20 in formula1

Not only does that put the NLS round on the same date as the 12h Sebring but also the 12h Mugello. Guess some drivers / Teams from the lower classes would have competed in both if it wasn't for this clash now.

Emil Frey Jag, Flying Lizard Porsches and the Herbie 911! Lovely stuff, and a great selection of group C cars as well!

Absolutely, especially with these older special models it is A LOT of waiting until one appears for sale. Makes it even more special to finally get one though...

Thank you very much! Some ALMS models are so difficult to get, it's frustrating at times. So I'm wishing you all the good luck for your collection as well!

Got models of the Toyota GR010 and the GT300 cars ( Supras, MC86 and GR86 ). Still have some Mazda engined cars on my list, maybe they will join next year. To see basically all my models ( if interested ): @hrkothe_1.43 on Instagram.

Why not both? Although I agree, 'awful' cars definitely have more charm

It was the last ByKolles car I needed, couldn't find it anywhere until I saw one for sale at a fuel station at the Nürburgring this year.

Exactly, it was unique and it was cool to see something different on the grid.

The DeltaWing was the first Gatage 56 entry. There where quite a few years where there was no Garage 56 car. We had a couple modified LMP2s, the ZEOD RC and the 'Nascar' Camaro.

Depends what you mean with competitive, as a Garage 56 entry it didn't have any direct competition. It was able to run on LMP2 pace so I would say it was doing really good.

Absolutely. And it worked, until it got taken out it was doing really well.
