Default VLN race at Nürburgring (photos)

This event took place on Friday. Here are some photos I found on a Swedish car forum. I thought some of you would like to see these 'unmodified' examples First, the 993-related cars...






Of course there are many other models and marques racing in this event. Here is the Alzen Porsche. I posted a video of this a while ago. Incredible performance!



There were plenty of these:


I won't post the many non-P-cars.

On a totally different note, I was at the local track today and took some photos which you can see here if you're interested

The race is from the VLN Series on the Nürburgring and the writing is just graffiti.

Thanks Graham! Are these pictures from the 24 hour race? Training? Is this race this coming Sunday? If it was last Sunday, who won?

993RS,

The ADAC 24 hr is this Sat/Sunday and I will be there. Will any other European Rennlister's be there as well?

WesM951,

As stated yes that is just graffiti. It's part of what the North Loop is about, part of it's character, there is everything from "I LOVE ..." to "OPEL or Mercedes this or that" kind of stuff.

Here are some Porsche pics from the previous VLN:
