I'm halfway through the 24h of the N?rburgring.

.
Other participants are 2 R8 LMS, C5-R, Citroen GT, Zonda LM, Ford GT (no spoiler), Lister Storm and the 5door GTR.
It went dark about 6h into the race, I hope morning brakes soon.
Shortly after the pitstop the rain started to die down, an hour later the new day announced itself.
@ 14:30 it is almost bright as day, but the sun is still missing. It shouldn't take long.
@ 15:00 I noticed sth odd in the rearviewmirror, the sun had jumped up. Her fight against the morning mist was cheered upon by the chirping of the wastegates.
Soon we don't need to waste precious energy for the headlamps.
@ 15:17 Headlights off
@ 16:13 With 2 liters and a bit of rubber left heading for the pit. 108 laps done, fastest in the dry is now a 7:50,305 still on racing hard.
@ 23:01 last pitstop. 157 laps, 4 laps in front. If I've got the timing right I should start the last lap right before the deadline, run out of fuel on the GP part and cruise the rest on fumes.
@ 23:59 I crossed the line and ran out of fuel as expected. The fastest lap was a 7:43,712 the slowest a 17:33,352 (no fuel) finished after 24:16 and change.
