[donthaveanickname]

Next weekend, it's not only the Indy 500, the Monaco GP and the Coca-Cola 600, it's also the Nürburgring 24 hours, again with well over 100 entries.

The race will be broadcast live on RTL Nitro in Germany - maybe some of your recieve it via satellite.
Otherwise, there will be a livestream on the official Website. VLN races were also streamed by drivetribe on YouTube this year and I think they will stream the 24h race too.

On-track-activities will start thursday with practice and qualfying. Support races will be the ADAC 24h-Classic (run over 3 hours), the World Touring Car Championship and Audi Sport TT Cup.

Biggest day in motorsports.

The VLN and Qualifying races there so far this year have been very entertaining. The finish of last year's 24 Hours was awesome too. I love me some GT3 (SP 9) racing around the 'ring.

It should be streaming on either/both of http://www.dailysportscar.com/ and http://www.radiolemans.co/ as well. That's where I've seen the first few races this year.

Formation lap just started.

The traffic in this race never ceases to amaze.

The #13 Viper has just been disqualified for being too loud.

The #13 Viper has just been disqualified for being too loud.

I heard that. Sounds like something that would happen at Laguna Seca...

13 hours left, damn that must be a freaking lifetime.

Alex Lynn should be the second Williams driver IMHO, he's plenty good enough for F1.

I love sunrise of an endurance race.

I love sunrise of an endurance race.

And it was a beautiful sunrise .

Love this weekend for racing, the Coke 600 and 24 Hours Of The Ring.

Pretty clean race so far.
First time I can remember the same cars leading when I got up as when I went to bed.

 

[FLRacingFan]

And this one goes back on the main screen.

 

[FLRacingFan]

This is wild.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Good lord. That was one of the most incredible finishes I've ever seen, across all disciplines of racing.

The Nürburgring 24 Hours isn't possible without rain.
And in this case, the rain has produced an awesome finish.
