This year’s Nürburgring 24 Hours delivered the goods: a record 280,000-strong crowd, 30-degree heat and 140 cars. Throw in an electrical outage, a penalty and many crashes into that mix, and you end up with a spectacular 24 hours of racing that ended with a BMW M4 on the top step of the podium.
The 4pm kick-off saw plenty of teams proceed with caution to avoid cooking their engines, particularly those in the lower classes. Underdogs Ollis Garage Racing and their hearty Dacia Logan stalled at the start, ending up in the pits after being cheered on by a lively crowd. You love to see it.
