BMW did really well this year and the race was really down to a Pit Stop. For Porsche and BMW it was really a 24 hour sprint race! imagine driving 14 laps straight at 2am just to gain 30 seconds on your competitor! just unreal how demanding this race actually is.
Hey karussell, I followed you best I could during the race, congrats on the finish!

Can you make a new thread outlining the race for you and how it went? Any insight in running a crazy endurance race like this? I would really love to hear your take on the entire experience if you have the time.
