Default Crazy start of 24!hrs Nürburgring inside GT3R

Engine sounds pretty much like RS, sequential gear has a whine and shatter of it own..

crazy driving in the rain ... enjoy (no relation to team/driver; saw it on my YouTube feed)

impressive driving...

Porsches have not been doing well recently at GT races, ie 24h LM, 24h NBR , even Indy 8h just today. What's going on? And they pulled out 9 drivers for 24h NBR at the last minute because two were tested +ve for Covid.

I think a recent post discussed that in detail; they're being handicapped by balance of power formulation and also had reliability issues among others... not an expert on this; still loved that video because if you blocked out the transmission whine the engine response and sound was very similar to one in .2 GT3 (more than I would have expected)

Some seriously good driving there. Amazed at how much exit curbing he uses in the wet.

A different version of CQB, just as intense and dangerous. Conditions appalling to boot. Hats off to the drivers! Enormous concentration and driving skills.

The grey stones has a very high grip level in wet. So the curbs with these stones on top can be beneficial to use.
Also there is a lot of places on the track where they put these grey stones where drivers normally drive on the grass. Same there: Good grip in wet.

What really impressed me (I drove in the N24H in one of the slower classes) was when the two leader cars passed me it took 2 minutes until car number three passed me! A 2 minute lead after three laps!

I cannot post video of it but also interesting to see is how delicate the two front runners drive when they pass. It is an extremely slippery track in the wet.
