Great documentary about this year's Nurburgring 24h.

Originally shown on GT5 TV (due to GT5's Kaz Yamauchi participation in the race), the documentary has tons of awesome racing pr0n for people like me who love GT endurance racing and the related cars (Audi R8 LMS, Mercedes SLS, BMW M3GT, Porsche 911GT3, Ferrari 458, Ferrari P4/5 Competizione etc).



Someday I hope to attend this race in person (after the kids grow up).

Wow! Beautiful machines and a equally beautiful Track. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for posting Kludger. Hope your wish comes true. I love the changes in elevation at this track. It really stresses the cars.

Yeah awesome that you took part Billzilla, congrats and nice read too.

Thanks Pescador, yeah the elevation and camber changes at this track is one of the things that make it special IMHO especially for 24h endurance racing, it isn't just another mostly flat track with long straights, the suspension and brakes really get a good endurance workout and will break if not properly built.
