Hello friends, hope you all enjoyed my coverage of the N24! It was super hard work and by Sunday night I was totally destroyed. Buttttt.... I did get a cool interview with Olaf Manthey after the race: https://www.gt-report.com/2018/05/15...anthey-racing/

But out on the Nordschleife you're right against the fence - nice and close to the action. So you can either stick your camera up to the fence, or there are actually lots of photography slots in the fence to shoot through. Very cool in that sense. |

The Nurburgring is so different to any other race track. You photographers must have a field day

Over at racing24-7.net we tried to give a bit more focus to those through the field compared to previous years

In a neighboring forum this was shared today.
I totally have no idea who made this, but it's superb. Albeit showing 2017 footage, it captures the event really good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=NCf2ZLCxUmQ Cool reports, btw! |

First few photos from the race; more will be added over coming days. All without accreditation. Having now walked the full Nordschleife (Saturday), I have a few more good spots for future visits. |

Haven't seen anybody comment, so I'll lob in an additional thought - really preferred the podium approach of the last few years to this year. The separate podium stage further down beyond pit lane kept the crews further away from the cars, kept the fans a bit further away, and took away some great photo ops. The elevated cars on boxes was always cool. The shots from on top of the suites looking down over the cars, teams and drivers were always cool. If I get a vote, I'd say go back to the way it was done last year for the podiums.

No one has commented on that because everyone agrees this year's podium was a mistake.
Here's Christian Krognes' final blog on the N24: https://www.gt-report.com/2018/05/20...-n24-the-race/ A bit later than planned because he went straight back to work on Monday morning |

OK I promise this is the last thing I'll write about the N24 Adam Christodoulou explains the finale in detail: https://www.gt-report.com/2018/05/21...bility-to-win/

that is a really well done documentary. Makes me wish I stayed more brushed up on my German than I am currently! Quote:
Excellent as always! I definitely need to get over there for next year's race. |

Shame not many people have seen that documentary. But it’s good in both English and German. And thanks for the reports too

I guess there are a few places where the path takes you away from trackside? And a few roads and bridges? Or is there literally a path the whole way round? |

So is it a public place? I didn't know there was a mountain bike route, how long has that been there? It seems to be following it's own route.

So when not much racing was happening, but it is interesting. Guess we need a new map to update it

Looking ahead to 2019, how is the later 24h date (22-23 June) likely to affect the VLN calendar?
Will it be as simple as VLN 3 moving to mid/late April and the Qual race the last weekend of May? |
