Custard Undies posted:Your post just reminded me that we had plans of going to it for the first time this year. I missed last year thanks to a family event but went multiple times before that. It’s an awesome event and nowhere near as big as the 1000 so you get free access to the back of the pits and are free to roam around the bottom half of the track as you please.

The first year I went out a team spent about 8 hours changing the gearbox on a porsche and rebuilding the engine only for it to do the last lap and count as a finisher. I do miss that they've cut back the number of invitational entries to the marc cars entries and they aren't all that much fun. Seeing whats under the bodywork when they strip down the crashed cars is always interesting and certainly something that I wouldn't have thought I'd see during an active race tbh.

It was kinda the last international event held in Australia before all of the lockdown stuff happened and it also happened last year while the rest of the state was on fire which was put out a week later when we got 500mm of rain over 3 days. It'd be amazing to see a properly wet 12hr at some point but it happens at a time of year where we mostly just get storms and not consistent rain for a day. Even less so out at Bathurst which is a fair way from the coast.

algebra testes posted:Honestly the only thing better than the 12 hour was when they did 24 hours for a few years. The thing I didn’t like about the 24 was Holden basically playing pay to win with the monaro that didn’t come close to the street car. I wouldn’t mind seeing it coming back as long as they had a decent field of both gt3 cars and a pile of race prepped production cars similar to how the Nurburgring 24 does things but with a smaller field cause the track is nowhere near the size. I haven’t ever actually been at the 12 for the start cause I choose a slightly more civilized start to the day and live an hour from the track so I don’t normally roll up till 8am or so.

3 Hours left in the Nurburgring 24h qualifying race. Always good to watch cars fang it around even if it isn't the full 24hr edition.

just a heads up that this weekend is the Nurburgring 24. I presume it'll be streamed on youtube as normal with radio lemans commentary.

No probs. I honestly think that both it and spa are the better 24hr races for me both from ease of watching and the actual racing. I really want to like le mans but I find the track kinda boring and its a pain in the butt to watch in Australia cause the only legit streaming service that carries it doesn't really like to work with the level of internet that the government decided was good enough for the area that I live.

Warm up is on now with the main event starting in 3 or so hours which for me is 10:30pm. I'll at least watch the start before I head to bed

currently its bone dry but I don't think it'll hold out till the end of the race given how cloudy it is.

Time zones mean I slept through all of the racing that happened previously and now I get to wait another 4.5 hours for anything to happen

SLICK GOKU BABY posted:They should keep it 24 hours of racing and pause the timer during red flags They'd be running till tuesday at the rate they're going. Next update in 10 minutes but given the fog I doubt it'll start before 8:30 am Edit: No start before 8am Dr. Garbanzo fucked around with this message at 06:01 on Jun 6, 2021 |

According to the live chat on youtube race restart is in 30 minutes behind the safety car for a formation lap and if it's good to go they'll go otherwise it'll be another lap behind the safety car. At least it looks dry on the track.

If the length of stoppage has no other positive the racing once they start should be intense.

In addition the track is dumb level narrow and only used on race weekends after all of the signs have been ripped out. While it’s great they let open wheelers race it’s not perhaps the safest track in the world to do that on. I’ve gone around a few times when it’s a normal road and there’s sections where you hope your don’t meet someone coming up the hill as you head down the hill

Bathurst 12 hour has been pushed back again to may in light of the current covid surge. Given what happened to Novak don't expect any no vaxxed drivers to appear,
