I recall how bad it was. Pretty much everyone in our box was screaming for a red flag. I wasn't driving at the time but it was absolutely pouring. The top cars were doing 11+ min laps vs their dry 8:30s and 40s.

The correction in Pflanzgarten II was the work of a magician, don't even know how he did that, most drivers would have been in the wall...

First time I ran Autobahn CC in Joliet IL, I taped the track map to the dash (19 turns).

Can't imagine the Ring... in the dark... in the pouring bloody rain...

That is an amazing level of concentration.

That is the perfect example of why I don't race as my profession. (J/K obviously). I think I am going to be car sick sitting here at my desk.

King Leh has been our favorite 'mortal' driver since the Sebring video.
Have to find a new mortal now. If nothing else, just watch the last 3 minutes or so...

Fantastic concentration and driving by Leh!
Anyone know who his codrivers were, car class, and how they did?

Rennlister Sean Edwards won the overall in a Mercedes. Congrats Sean!
