Just back from Nurburgring 24H over the weekend, with the GTROC and Nissan/NISMO hospitality. Had an awesome time and the surprise was that we got to drive around the ring as part of the parade lap. Intro to the race ........... probably shouldnt mention that it was in a Leaf We were led out by the Nissan GTR GT1 car that is privately owned, awesome car and what a noise!!!!
Toyota had a 2000GT, dealer maintained, stunning car!! Will post up a picture later, but got chatting to the dealer principle that was driving the car and eventually one of the Nissan guys came over and we got chatting and eventually got onto the 240z subject. So long story short....... if the car is ready for N24H next year, its guaranteed a spot on the parade lap
Back to N24H news, the GTR (GT academy driven) finished 9th overall and the 2nd GTR failed out on track with only 49 minutes to go and was right behind the other GTR. They werent quite as quick as the other cars, but they were a lot more efficient, managed a few extra laps to every stop.
Was also VERY impressed with the new Subaru Impreza STi which finished 18th overall and top of its class by 10 laps!
And then there was this, also a class winner and a very respectable 52nd overall
