RACE HIGHLIGHTS | 2024 ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nurburgring + IGTC 

I guess to be fair, the footage we got is all there is.

@@SamiRemingtonStorm-ty6ro There is one video on Instagram that shows the crash from viewers perspective and you can see the BMW rolling over, but it´s sadly not official so it won´t be used.

​@@SamiRemingtonStorm-ty6royou can slow the video down and see the car in the air

@@SamiRemingtonStorm-ty6ro According to a commentator during the race, he said he was directed to an amateur video by a friend which showed a better angle of the incident, but I suppose no official/licensed footage of it exists. Have yet to find said amateur footage though.

I have the video of the car rolling its on RU-vid

I see what you did there.🤭

Even nacht und nebel ring Oops...

I feel you, still good that race control didn’t give in and let them race, because it would have been way to dangerous sadly

They didnt delay it through the night as far as I know right? They annouced that they will give info at 7:00 in the morning and then they started delaying it. I still enjoyed watching it irl as it my first time at ring but its sad especailly for drivers.

Well, we have learned from Nurburgring '76 *We better remember it*

I feel you man, since February me and my brother are counting the days, we had everything setup for this weekend at my home. Massive massive disappointment. They really gotta move the dates, make it in a time where these fogs chances are lowest, i’ve read that right now is the worst for the fogs in this part of Germany. Could of been a way better weekend than how it went

And some people still complain about WEC 6 hour of spa saying complain ("racer should not continue supposedly racer end under red flag".)I think they should shut it after they realize wut happened with this racer..

​@@ArturoDrivesaudi must have payed them to make fog

It's this bad every year. The guys from Radio Lemans do a great job trying to make something out of the poor clips they put together but it really is an hourly letdown. I think I've been hearing the same highlight music for 15 years too.

the biggest problem with this series is the coverage, they don't invest enough in the media, even though the media is what makes them money. Look at WEC now, insane production levels compared to years before, almost on par with F1.

@@FlagnarBoobz I suspect it's down to ADAC. They own the footage, GT World can only work with what they're given. Yes the WEC is well produced but if you want to watch the races live it's pay-per-view. At least the various GT series races are shown live, for free, and generally are professionally presented.

Well they could have done that today, they actually did that in 2021, but teams complained so much about cold tyres in those Code 60 zones that the Race Director didn't want to do that.

@Maenfy correct but a speed limit and no overtaking would be a better solution for the fans and a challenge the top teams need to respect.

I think the issue is that the rescue helicopter also can't fly in such conditions

that's germany for ya

Because visibility was still okay at 11. Do you really want to have missed out on the best racing action of the race, the Mies vs Harper vs Güven battle?

You do realize there was snow during the season opener this year right?

@@alexlam24 nah I don't know. So during winter the track gets covered with snow and in summer it gets rainy and foggy?

it's supposed to be summer in June

you should appreciate nature because you breathe, live, eat and stand thanks to nature.. you are indeed an arrogant and ungrateful person.. even when you die you will go into the ground or become the ashes of nature itself

Well what were they supposed to do? Add all of the red flag time back? We would have raced until Monday morning.

Rock Am Ring was next weekend... they couldn't do anything

Even WEC doesn't reset the clock in Le Mans. 24-hour races are just like this.

@@Maenfy apparently yes they were supposed to do exactly that, doesn't matter that people needed to be elsewhere today or that the festival has to start setting up to be ready for Friday

I agree. They have that same music every year but at least they have commentary. They had a few years where the highlights just had that music and no commentary it was pretty annoying

Many content creators are using background music when they have a too strong background noise they can't or don't know how to remove. Most of the time it's super annoying while there are quite efficient tools to do the job.

They won cause the Bimmer pitted lmao That's a costly Pit stop

does that mean only losing counts🤔?? so everyone is racing for defeat??

Indeed. It's amusing when you realise if they'd run the race 24 hours earlier it would probably have been completed. I wonder what the comments section would read like if the race hadn't been red-flagged and we'd had another 'Dacia incident' due to the visibility, except with someone getting seriously injured.

@@kevinjohnbetts yep. I'm frustrated like any other fan but they did what they did for safety reasons, you have to understand and move on. Plus there's nothing else they could have done

can you control the weather..? show it to everyone or you belong to this group like what you said..indirectly you made a fool of yourself in front of us all..ha..ha..

Buckle some more

it's the Eifel mountains mate they have their own micro climate, what did you expect? a blazing hot siesta? the Ardennes in Belgium are very similar so don't be shocked if come spa at the end of the month it's pissing it down during the race

@@rory6065 is there any time of the year where the weather would be better / more predictable to hold the race?

@@Qwnntmprobably in august, but I’m not quite sure about it

​@@wolfjaeger7 2 years ago the DTM race in August nearly got cancelled because of fog and that was in August.

@@Maenfy then it seems like there’s no possible time zone where it can work surely

I think they can be proud. They had excellent pace, excellent strategy, always on the right tyres after each stop while the other cars messed up one by one. That's the Nürburgring and that's part of it. It is not a shame, it is the weather. Nothing can be done about it. You either get this great track and that means sometimes getting foggy days and no race or you don't get the track at all. But you don't get to pick and choose.

lmao. it was still 7 hours of madness you have to endure. And it been such an amazign 7 hours with all the drama you can imagine for a 24hours. Why would you NOT be proud? It was underwhelming for everyone equally but that does not diminish a win given how those 7 hours of racing have been. Ask the #98 Rowe BMW drivers how they feel about beeing punted leading the race. Just proves how delusional internet people are. Get off the internet dude.

No the date is fixed a view years in advance. No one knows what the weather will be that day. Hot, rainy, foggy, snow. We got everything the last view years.

​@@FluppiLPbut they won while not being the best out there, so yeah...

@@mathieuschafer1360 They had a 40s advantage before the red flag. Seems like they were the best over the first 7 hours. They weren't the fastest, the Rowe was quicker but they crashed. It wasn't their fault but it doesn't matter if the race is 7h or 24h, either way the Rowe had no chance of winning after DNFing. The red BMW was probably the fastest pace wise but they were on the wrong tyre twice. Once at the start and once at the same time when the Grello did a stint on the wrong tyres too. No one knows how it would have been at night. Don't underestimate the experience of Mies, Feller, Stippler and Marschall in a wet Nürburgring night. No one knows what the next 15h would have brought. I would say the top 4 probably had an equal chance of winning if the race had gone the full distance. But that is all guessing. We can clearly say that over the course of the 7h of racing we had, in the conditions we had, the Audi was at least 40s faster than anyone else. That is the only thing we know for sure and that is why they deserved winning, even though luck was involved, as it always is in the 24h Nordschleife.

Cmon guys, give this one to the Logan

Positive weather forecasts according to whom? It's so hard to predict the weather, they apperantly even called multiple weather stations in the region which all predicted different things which never actually happened.
