That conversation between Land and the other Black Falcon guy I forgot the name was actually pretty good. That's how to solve a conflict instead of bitching to the press. Still absolutely stupid maneuver from the Black Falcon driver, waving left and right on Döttinger Höhe like that.

I'm surprised though the cars manage to go with two wheels on the grass without problems. There was a similar situation yesterday where two SP9 cars ran up to a slower series car, and the front car tried to get away from the sidedraft of the slower car, pushing the other car on the grass, and he still overtook him. Truly excellent, world-class drivers in there, handling such a situation without crashing.

I think they had a racing driver on yesterday, who explained that if you get two or four wheels on the grass, what you do is just keep accelerating and steer slowly back onto the track - anything else wrecks you.

The drivers, regardless of their gender, have balls of loving steel.
I wonder where they store them, though - because given their size, they gotta be problematic to bring around the track.

Same if you have a steer tire blow out in a truck. If you grab the brakes or countersteer hard, you roll.

The moment a car enters the top 3 it either crashes or implodes or a combination of both.

I've not seen much of this race but every time I've checked in there has been a huge wreck.
I woke up to a smoking hulk of something and a team looking very relieved but didn't get my audio turned back on for a few minutes :gonk:

all of the SP9 GT3 class cars are trying to lose the race through problems of their own making.

Le Mans last week was a run of perfect choreography and very little drama, Nurburgring 24 is making up for it in spades this year.

I left the race playing on my tablet next to my bed and woke up hung over and looked over literally 1 second before that bmw hit the barrier and I thought I was having a hallucination.

I watched far less of that than Le Mans but it delivered for every second. Looks like I'll be planning a bigger vacation for 2021.

It seems there was no footage of the actual incident. Just some aerial shots of the car upside down and over the fence. Maybe some fan got it on their cellphone though, who knows.

That was the same team that had their mechanics help rebuild the Manta when their own car wasn't in the pit.
