[tight quiver]

[clear field]

72 or 99** I think

[unkempt mirage]

truly saddening

99 was a BMW with yellow on it

[clear field]

Yes

[unkempt mirage]

Until it crashed

[clear field]

Oop

Ah it was that crash, I remember seeing that

[unkempt mirage]

It collided with the TokSportWRT #27 Porsche

#160 was the one that burned wasnt it

[dusty rampart]

yeah

[mild magnet]

162 and 163 are GT4s

[tacit garden]

i do wonder how theyre in the same class even

the GTX certainly has an advantage over GT4 doesnt it

[mild magnet]

KTM biz

[dusty rampart]

just 163, 162 is a GTX

[mild magnet]

Interesting how the best TCR is ahead of the best GT4

[dusty rampart]

id love that

jacket weather best weather

[unkempt mirage]

And it's raining

[dusty rampart]

even better

[unkempt mirage]

perfect

[dusty rampart]

The rain chance is <40% until the end of the race

It's not unlikely that the podium ceremony is under rain

but the race finish is not

The chance for rain in Monaco has gone down a ton as well, so Monaco GP will be a bore

[calm bay]

nice engine sound

[dusty rampart]

is it me or is the #3 onboard like

really fucking loud

I had to turn down my speakers my dad is on the couch upstairs

Not that it'd wake him

[calm bay]

imagine its an F1 engine

its gonna be so loud

[dusty rampart]

imagine the onboard is really loud or imagine an F1 Engine is a low revving V8

[unkempt mirage]

AMG V8

[dusty rampart]

lmao

[calm bay]

thats enough to wake up everyone xD

[dusty rampart]

stuff a 6.3L V8 into an engine bay meant for a 1.6L V6

The Mercedes board of directors was drunk when they approved that project apparently

LM Hybrid class would be so cool if auto manufacturers would stop halting projects to make more mom vans

You're gonna sell so many mom vans by winning overall at Le Mans

[lethal yacht]

How's this race going?

[dusty rampart]

Well if you like Porsche

I'm so very sorry

[unkempt mirage]

I want to see some hotrod LMDh Chevrolet but instead they have to keep building overly big Silverado's

[dusty rampart]

if you like Audi

very good

[unkempt mirage]

Yeah i'm going through hell at this point

[dusty rampart]

yeah me too :(

[lethal yacht]

I don't like Porsche
They're the same car

[fluid kettle]

Audi rear wing is beautiful tho

[dusty rampart]

is it raining in Monaco?

[unkempt mirage]

Wait, since the R8 is leading, doesn't that mean that the Huracán is leading?

[mild magnet]

F2? That's not an 24H class 🗿

[unkempt mirage]

F2 doesn't interest me at all tbh

[fluid kettle]

Since the morning

[unkempt mirage]

It's not like the F2 champ is gonna get an F1 seat nowadays

unless his name is Schumacher

[lethal yacht]

[unkempt mirage]

[unkempt mirage]

maybe 2 screens

[dusty rampart]

I will watch it

but unless its wet itll probably be muted

as it starts with an hour left in the N24

[mild magnet]

TV + Phone for that

[dusty rampart]

I have

"enough" monitors

[unkempt mirage]

yeah same

Monaco is usually boring until somebody bins it

[dusty rampart]

"enough" to watch several races at once

[unkempt mirage]

My favorite Porsche is the Cayman for the road cars tbh

[dusty rampart]

My favorite car

is the Nissan GTP ZX-Turbo

[fluid kettle]

How did the #22 get in front?

Pit stops?

[unkempt mirage]

Yeah

[dusty rampart]

It has yet to pit

[fluid kettle]

Ah

[dusty rampart]

that and the 16 audi

[unkempt mirage]

That Nissan looks mental

I like it

[dusty rampart]

right?

[unkempt mirage]

Yeah forreal

[dusty rampart]

as far as road cars go

uh

I have no fucking idea

[dusty rampart]

hey thats Cota

[unkempt mirage]

I just love that Porsche put a 911 engine the Cayman

That is Cota indeed

[dusty rampart]

actually that looks dope

I think my favorite road car is one of the 911s

[fluid kettle]

Which one

There's a million

[dusty rampart]

yes

[unkempt mirage]

all of them.

[dusty rampart]

yes

um

[unkempt mirage]

understandable

[dusty rampart]

The 930 Turbo is really nice

[unkempt mirage]

Oh yeah

[fluid kettle]

2001 Porsche 911 996 Turbo?

[unkempt mirage]

997 is my sweet spot probably 911 wise

[dusty rampart]

I think the only 911 I don't like is the 992

[unkempt mirage]

I do love the 718 gen

[dusty rampart]

It has a big ol front grille that is sehr nicht so gut

and is the same reason I didn't like the last gen 911 RSR

[unkempt mirage]

#22 in the box

[dusty rampart]

back to 15, 3, and 20

[unkempt mirage]

It's pretty calm now for once

[dusty rampart]

It's been rather tame overnight

but thats expected

racing when all you can see is the lights is very tricky

[unkempt mirage]

you don't have many madlads that push during the night

Estre might

[dusty rampart]

yeah

if he had a car

[unkempt mirage]

But all that guy can do is push

Well yeah

[dusty rampart]

oh glicc doesnt hold the fastest lap anymore

[unkempt mirage]

rip

[dusty rampart]

the #12 Bilstein Merc has it by almost 2 seconds wow

[unkempt mirage]

That AMG GT3 Evo 2020 does look amazing tbh

[dusty rampart]

I mean, as far as AMG GTs go yeah

It's no R8 LMS or 911 GT3R

but it's miles ahead of the fuckin M4 GT3

[unkempt mirage]

yeah it is

[dusty rampart]

and seeing this much of the BMW, it has grown on me

but its still the worst looking german car of the four

[unkempt mirage]

Schubert is the only BMW M4 GT3 in the top 20

Brutal

[dusty rampart]

yep

any bmw fans?

(so i can block you)

[unkempt mirage]

[dusty rampart]

man they're replaying it again?

just randomly for no reason?

yikes

[unkempt mirage]

BMW is at least in the top 3

I swear, the TV director is an Audi fanboy

[dusty rampart]

Porsche > Audi > Merc > BMW > Lambo

[unkempt mirage]

[dusty rampart]

I don't like the Huracan GT3

The road cars are really pretty but this is not it

[unkempt mirage]

It's too Audi like

So they've shown the Grello crash more then the TokSportWRT crash

[dusty rampart]

its not lamborghini like

the Hura GT3 is a far cry from the Muricelago GT3s from ye olden days

of the mid 2000s

[unkempt mirage]

The Gallardo's were nice too

[dusty rampart]

yeah

[random pond]

How long to go?

[dusty rampart]

4:36

[random pond]

👍

[dusty rampart]

gotta say, the Ferrari 488 looks very

2012

compared to the rest of the GT3 field

[unkempt mirage]

isn't the 458 that old?

[dusty rampart]

yes

but the 911 is 60 years old

looks better

[unkempt mirage]

yes

[dusty rampart]

xd

They should use that 296 as the GT3 base

[clear field]

Any interesting developments?

[dusty rampart]

This would look sick in GT3 spec

[exotic carbon]

Grello is out

well he is but like he has been for almost 20hrs now

[dusty rampart]

yeah

[unkempt mirage]

Aren't they developing that car into a GT3 now?

[exotic carbon]

I hope Racing Point get a 1-2

[dusty rampart]

wait wait

[tight quiver]

dacia is still here

[dusty rampart]

oh

all we need

[clear field]

You mean the pink Mercedes?

[unkempt mirage]

https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/competizioni-gt/296-gt3

[dusty rampart]

okay

So they do have a modern racing machine in the works

it only took 10 years

[unkempt mirage]

Yes

that is fast for Italians

Don't forget

[dusty rampart]

Italian world domination with the 296 GT3?

It would be a nice change of pace from Audi Audi Porsche Porsche Porsche Audi Mercedes

[unkempt mirage]

who knows

Porsche still has to develop a follow up on the 991.2 GT3 R

[dusty rampart]

I just hope it's not the 992

991.3 please lmao

[unkempt mirage]

Inb4 they use the RSR

[dusty rampart]

[unkempt mirage]

Could be

[dusty rampart]

Yes it is

Laurens Vanthoor (@VanthoorLaurens)

1/3 I’ll probably never be ready to put this into words.. What happened yesterday was a nightmare. I know I’m smarter, I know you don’t take that amount of risk in a 24h race.
It’s painful to be this open in public but the reason behind is that I was racing my brother.

[dusty rampart]

bmw sadness

yeah so he was fully aware of what he was doing as I thought he was

poor Laurens

[mild magnet]

Older Vanthoor really upset about the crash of yesterday 🥶

[dusty rampart]

he says no hard feelings

so thats very good

That probably answers my earlier question

this one

[unkempt mirage]

I think they have enough respect for each other

That Grello wreck still hurts

Will this turn into Sochi 2021 or something

[dusty rampart]

"27% chance of rain" as of 1:10pm

contrary to popular belief I think that number is wrong

[unkempt mirage]

#3 almost went off

This is getting spicy

[dusty rampart]

not too spicy yet

15 pit in

oh that was a nice shot

[unkempt mirage]

Yeah indeed

[dusty rampart]

no, rain, dont ease

this is eifel you can just drizzle for 5 minutes

:(

oooooooo

different tire strats

this is getting really spicy now

[unkempt mirage]

Semi slicks?

[dusty rampart]

I wonder if they're using the 4 to see if they need wets for the 3

[unkempt mirage]

Konrad spin

[dusty rampart]

slicks on wet gp track

inevitable understeer

[unkempt mirage]

True

Dacia

[dusty rampart]

Dacia

[unkempt mirage]

Dacia again

[dusty rampart]

yep

"not long" 15 and 3 are 2 seconds apart

look hes right there

[unkempt mirage]

Lello went wide

[dusty rampart]

whoa 3 way splitscreen

now we're really topping formula 1 tv production

3.9s

that pepto merc is flying

[unkempt mirage]

Lewis Hamilton, is this you?

[dusty rampart]

Merc's in lap was 15 seconds faster and its out lap was 10 seconds faster

holy moly

[unkempt mirage]

Merc flying

This is going to be Stuttgart vs Ingolstadt in a bit

[buoyant shale]

bong

[unkempt mirage]

And it's drying now?

[dusty rampart]

now theres sunshine on the GP track

[unkempt mirage]

Super Cup moment

[dusty rampart]

is that PSC right now?

[buoyant shale]

ye

[dusty rampart]

holy fuck that is some air

[unkempt mirage]

Formula 1 has nothing on this

[dusty rampart]

RIGHT?

[unkempt mirage]

This is peak broadcasting ngl

[drowsy parcel]

we get strolled in f1

[dusty rampart]

what i dont understand is that F1's TV graphics are capable of picture-in-picture

so if someone goes over the bumps at swimming pool, just show the replay in the little box

[drowsy parcel]

ohh gap is so close

[dusty rampart]

or not show it at all because no one gives a shit

FOM could learn a thing for two from ADAC

[unkempt mirage]

Ikr

Oh boy they're close

[dusty rampart]

You know your production is bad when you can't correctly follow 20 cars on a 4km track and a german club crew is following 136 cars on a 25km track

[unkempt mirage]

And they dare call themselves the pinnacle of Motorsport

[dusty rampart]

pinnacle of lap times maybe

[unkempt mirage]

Most likely

[dusty rampart]

GT racing is the true pinnacle

wheel-to-wheel racing in high performance purpose built road cars with perfect and careful BoP

[unkempt mirage]

Perfection

[dusty rampart]

true display of skill

LOOK AT THESE TWO

OH SHIT

yeah I think the #4 is not gonna have a good stint

track is practically dry

[tight quiver]

BATTLE FOR THE LEAD

[unkempt mirage]

Both are on full slicks

[dusty rampart]

The 22 Audi is a second faster through the first two sectors than the 4

[paper axle]

watching rn too

[autumn briar]

Come on Dries

[unkempt mirage]

Mercedes not having the straight line speed? What is going on

[dusty rampart]

isnt the merc notoriously heavy?

[unkempt mirage]

probably is

But it looked mighty last year in GT World

[jovial linden]

Oh wow

[unkempt mirage]

Best sector 7 in the race for the #15

[autumn briar]

Epic

[dusty rampart]

wow theres 118 cars and the Dacia is 106th

very impressive

20 in

[unkempt mirage]

The Dacia is not last? Nice

[dusty rampart]

3 seconds

3.1s

merc is losing a lot of time though

every sector is a couple tenths slower than the 15

[foggy fulcrum]

To finish not last, you simply have to finish

[dusty rampart]

half a second in sector 6

[unkempt mirage]

That is true

[paper axle]

how many cars did start?

[dusty rampart]

135

[paper axle]

dang

fr?

[dusty rampart]

last known number running was 118

[paper axle]

i see

[dusty rampart]

which is very good for 21 hours

thats only 13% of cars retired

[tight quiver]

thats not too bad

after whatever this race has been

[dusty rampart]

yeah

[unkempt mirage]

Could this be the first N24 without a red flag?

[tight quiver]

no

[dusty rampart]

first in a while

[unkempt mirage]

that works for me

Skies look blue

[dusty rampart]

lookin pretty

[tight quiver]

dark

cloud

poggers

[dusty rampart]

whens the last time merc won?

Black Falcon in 2016

[tight quiver]

yep

in 2015 there was a speedlimit on the döttinger höhe

and in flugplatz, schedenkrez and Antoniusbuche

Last non german car to win was the viper

in 2002

[somber saddle]

If I didn’t already know where the ‘Ring was located, I would swear it was in Florida, given how rapidly the weather has changed of late.

[dusty rampart]

lmao

weather maybe sure but florida does not have forests this pretty

[tight quiver]

the last non german team to win was the Team Bigazzi with BMW 320i

wait no

WRT won in 2015

[dusty rampart]

yes

was about to say somethin

that was Laurens car too

[tight quiver]

back then when laurens was an audi lad

[calm bay]

3 hours left wooooo

[somber saddle]

Their mottos could easily be the same: “Don’t like the weather? Wait a few minutes, it’ll change.”

[dusty rampart]

then he switched to the porsche master race

lol

whoa

[tight quiver]

BATTLE FOR THE LEAD

[calm bay]

3 hours left

[dusty rampart]

bmw moment?

[tight quiver]

1 GTWC Endurance race left

[dusty rampart]

BMW Cayman

[somber saddle]

Spoken typo!

[tight quiver]

dark clouds

come on

some drops to scare them a bit come on

[dusty rampart]

so if this race goes as it is now, does that mean that Dries will have more N24 wins than Laurens and quite possibly because of his own mistake?

yikes

[calm bay]

getting tense

[unkempt mirage]

Peak Nordschleife

[tight quiver]

its raining around the track

[dusty rampart]

[calm bay]

giant track moment

[unkempt mirage]

That Bilstein Mercedes does look pretty

[exotic carbon]

definitely one of the best liveries on the grid

[dusty rampart]

well, save for the right front quarterpanel

[calm bay]

[dusty rampart]

floor cam

OOOOOH

[tight quiver]

leaders have met rain

[dusty rampart]

MY HEART

I FELT THAT SLIDE IN MY SOUL

[unkempt mirage]

ah yes, green hell, where there is blue sky and pouring rain on the same track

[nocturne sentinel]

Bruh

[dusty rampart]

gotta love eifel sunshine and rain (no bows)

[nocturne sentinel]

Dude got caught doing 220 in a 120 and got disqualified

[unkempt mirage]

Lmao

[nocturne sentinel]

And the car has a over 7 minute time penalty

[tacit garden]

not just that, he's losing his permit to drive on the Nordschleife

[unkempt mirage]

[unkempt mirage]

That camera looked wet

[dusty rampart]

having absolutely no idea where the grip is

because its raining but also not raining

[unkempt mirage]

it's terrifying on that track ngl

even for the veterans

[dusty rampart]

ive never done a hotlap on wet nord in any sim

slicks on wet moment

[dusty rampart]

So the 15 going on wets you think?

Audi has VDL ready

[autumn briar]

[unkempt mirage]

This is gonna be epic

[autumn briar]

[unkempt mirage]

[tight quiver]

engine cover off

[unkempt mirage]

Götz vs VDL

They do that every stop

[autumn briar]

Theyve been doing that every time yeah

[dusty rampart]

those are slicks

[tight quiver]

o

i didnt pay attention to the #15

O

#3 was sliding

[dusty rampart]

[drowsy parcel]

What tires are on #3?

[dusty rampart]

[unkempt mirage]

Slicks i believe

[dusty rampart]

4 is on wets

4 was almost a minute faster than 15 last lap

btw

[autumn briar]

Yeah

[unkempt mirage]

Interesting

[dusty rampart]

oop pit in for 4

slicks or wets again?

oh its goodyear now

okay then

still the dunlop hairpin to me

gotz 3 seconds off van der linde in sector 2

2 seconds in S3

2 in S4

rip merc pace

i wanna see gotz in car

van der linde looks very calm and smooth through the corners on damp slicks i wanna see gotz

[unkempt mirage]

The Audi and the KTM both look like a space ship

[dusty rampart]

the KTM looks like an LMP

its really pretty

[tight quiver]

merc drops a lot

[tacit garden]

Honestly I wish they made an actual GT3 Xbow

[tight quiver]

SP-X class moment

[tacit garden]

i mean they already have the GT4, GT2, and the GTX as some weird not-quite-any-official-class thing

[dusty rampart]

it seems to me like they're trying not to make a GT3 car

[unkempt mirage]

Stolz trying to survive

[somber saddle]

He’s dropped back.

[unkempt mirage]

Audi's race to lose

[somber saddle]

Stolz is supposedly on grooved slicks.

[dusty rampart]

the DoF on those pit cameras are wallpaper worthy

im fucking drooling over that 22 Audi on that camera

[unkempt mirage]

It's so good

[somber saddle]

I stand corrected. Stolz is on full slicks. It’s van der Linde who’s on grooved slicks.

[dusty rampart]

too bad timing doesnt have tire choice on it

[calm bay]

aight me back anything going on?

[dusty rampart]

damp track making tire strategy interesting

[calm bay]

nice porsche engine sound tho

[unkempt mirage]

love that flat six

Yeah, that's damp

[calm bay]

man thats some good porsche

[dusty rampart]

thats some greasy asphalt

[calm bay]

could hear this all day

[unkempt mirage]

naturally aspirated flat six

KTM poggers

[dusty rampart]

If Gran Turismo 7 gets 24h races I might do it in the Porsche RSR

since that game has porsches now

[autumn briar]

Wow some parts look very wet

[foggy fulcrum]

you can already do 24h races in GT7

[dusty rampart]

that is proper spray in hatzenbach

really? i must have missed that update

[unkempt mirage]

24H race in the 917K

[foggy fulcrum]

and it is getting them as missions, they've announced it already

[foggy fulcrum]

no, since launch

like, you could in GTS too

[dusty rampart]

i mean like, not an arcade race

like the missions

[foggy fulcrum]

^

[dusty rampart]

o

yeah

thats what i meant

last time I did the N24 was in the LMS

in GT6

no 5

6 had shit races

god that was 10 years ago

I was nine years old

[unkempt mirage]

Lmao

Man doing 24h races at 9 years old

[dusty rampart]

just like my dad did in GT2

[unkempt mirage]

Gap increased now to 42 secs

Nords levels of rain in Monaco?

[dusty rampart]

full wets in monaco would be sooooooooooo good

[calm bay]

imagine those clouds teleported from nords to monaco xd

[dusty rampart]

but also like 6 finishers probably so

[unkempt mirage]

Monaco 1996 had like 4 cars finish the race

[unkempt mirage]

Based

[autumn briar]

Goetz losing 7 secs in sector 3 whats going on

[unkempt mirage]

KVDL effect

[dusty rampart]

imagine 1 car finishes the monaco gp

and its none other

than the goat himself

[unkempt mirage]

Perfection

[calm bay]

what happened to the 2nd and 3rd place trophies then

[unkempt mirage]

Stolen

[dusty rampart]

save them for next year

idk

thats a wet camera

[tight quiver]

what is the #3 doing man

[calm bay]

like jaguar monaco diamond?

[unkempt mirage]

yes

Hail?

[tight quiver]

they are on slicks and losing so much compared to the #15

[unkempt mirage]

Oh boi

[dusty rampart]

nice slicks gotz

[calm bay]

oh boi

[dusty rampart]

ready for a 12 minute lap on the merc?

[unkempt mirage]

yes

[tight quiver]

if the people who get to 2nd and 3rd before crashing out get to 75% distance they are classified

[dusty rampart]

as soon as I saw him go passed the pit entry line I died a little inside

[unkempt mirage]

Mercedes fans having heart attack after heart attack

[calm bay]

should i take a quick nap then go to monaco or just screw it

[dusty rampart]

oh im a porsche fan and thats gone out the window so i just want to see good racing how

40 second gap is not good racing

[unkempt mirage]

yeah same

ikr

2022 Mercedes really is just throwing

[dusty rampart]

even in DTM

[dire timber]

50 seconds wtf

[tight quiver]

#3 is dropping even more

you are gonna lose less by pitting

[unkempt mirage]

Welcome to Mercedes-AMG

[dusty rampart]

merc throwing so hard

[unkempt mirage]

2021 wrecked Mercedes it seems

#20 in the pit

[calm bay]

how long has the audi been in the lead?

[unkempt mirage]

Majority of the day right?

[autumn briar]

yeah

[dusty rampart]

Merc 3rd in WCC, Stolz Merc 5th in DTM, GetSpeed Merc 2nd and dropping in N24

[calm bay]

2 hours left

Wooooo

[dusty rampart]

catastrophic 2022 for mercedes fans i tell ya

[calm bay]

summary time again

[unkempt mirage]

Mercedes fans on special watch

[calm bay]

the final summary i guess

[dusty rampart]

well besides the final final one after the podium ceremony

i think

[unkempt mirage]

that burning KTM

[calm bay]

this Is the final summary during the race right?

[unkempt mirage]

[dusty rampart]

yes

[unkempt mirage]

2 hours left, so yes

[dusty rampart]

during the race yes

[unkempt mirage]

ROWE Racing lost both cars 2 years in a row

No luck for them

[dusty rampart]

I would feel bad for BMW fans but they are BMW fans

[unkempt mirage]

Pretty much

[dusty rampart]

xd

[dire timber]

they won 20..

its enough

[unkempt mirage]

then they DNF'ed two years in a row

[calm bay]

i swear the summary is longer than Mazepin F1 career

[dusty rampart]

this is true

[unkempt mirage]

probably is

[dusty rampart]

pretty sure the VW Golf in the Dacia Category has been on camera more than Mazepin in F1 2021
