This holidays are called „Eisheiligen“ or Ice saints, putting the race in the fridge of Germany ( the Eifel) on that date was always stupid.

I Hope they’ll find enough winter tires for the cars.


10yrs ago it was really crazy.

Live Timing

 
Compared to spa there’re very muted. You mostly hear the gearbox.

How do you mean compared to Spa?

Foxtail Manta lives on in spirit!

I believe there's noise restrictions in place at the Nordschleife, but the limit is pretty loud, as I understand it louder than most GT3 cars. It can affect some of the classic racers to a greater degree. If you've ever heard an M1 procar or Group A M635 you'll know what I mean.
 
Nope, the SPA GT3 are straight piped, on the Nürburgring you have a dB limit which sits at 130dB at the exhaust pipe and full chat , or 98dB (LP) at drive pass measurements.

Spa is 100dB @ 15m for WEC LMGT3 (110 for LMDh), For the 24 hour I think it's around generally capped at less than 120dB.

I'm not saying they don't run different set-ups but muted is not how I would describe the difference between them. I've heard a lot of race cars in my time, and I have to say GT3 has never been that impressive however.
 
On the English Commentary Frank van Meel just stated that the M3 Touring 24h was built with a buyer for the car already lined up. Interesting.

Also, Max just got a bit too much air and nearly binned it!
 
BM's just don't seem to have any particular pace at the moment - to the degree the Tourer is the highest placed BMW...
