I try to watch the whole race each year, however it was hard to do so this year, with your favourite car out within 4 hours! Raven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted 29May, 2022 Author Report Share Posted 29May, 2022 Its a tough race and goes to show no matter how well funded you are or how well you are prepared shit happens and the best teams can get put out of the race from no fault of their own . The one that always blows my mind at the Ring is you can have a 2 klm section of the 25 klm track that is pouring rain and the rest of the track is dry . How do you pick a tire for that and negotiate such diverse conditions , along with the number of cars on track and the differences in speed and skill from the PRO drivers to the humble amature it truly is one of the greatest tests of man and machine . Well done to the Team Phoenix Audi R8 , I am certain Dries Vanthoor and Laurens Vanthoor will have some interesting conversations in weeks to come sjm and LeeM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 29May, 2022 Report Share Posted 29May, 2022 I thought the Manthey driver could have waited just a little longer to pass his brother, as he had superior speed. Oh well, what's done is done. The 'Ring is bonkers, and the speed difference between the pro's and amateur drivers was huge, and I saw some very hairy moments when a pro came upon the much slower cars. They all definitely earn their money there that's for sure Raven and wirthO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
