Its just about time for the biggest Motor race in the world - the ADAC Zurich 24HR. 280 cars across multiple classes with Porsche, Aston Martin, Audi, BMW down to VW, Fiat all fighting it out on the worlds greatest track

from my count there is around 7 Australian (out of the 280) entries, everything from 997RSR porsche's (VIP petfoods & Juniper) down to mitsubishi Mirage's. Ric Shaw is back again in the RX7 who finished in the top 50 last year

The new Lexus LF-A will make its track debut with a full factory backed team and all the test drivers (who have been doing countless laps of the track). It will be interesting to see if the test times are able to be reproduced especially as it will be running the higher down force package

non of the nissan faithful have upgraded to the new GTR yet and will still be running 350Z's this year. The faulken team has a new GTR chassis that they are working, and want plenty of testing ect before taking it to the track for a long hard endurance race

I'll post up some live stream and timing when they are released.

yeah i noticed dean was driving the GT3

Its a great event to watch! i have watched the past 2 in Dubai run by the same company that run the 24hr series.

And i could even enter the old crap box i call a race car as they have a local section in the dubai event, but sadly will be driving our evo project car which will be lots of fun i reckon.

44 Rose, Mal Leemhuis, Peter Alford, Anthony AUS Commodore SP 8 Holden

Go donut king!

Go Pete!

Will be watching these guys with interest- Pete certainly knows how to steer and is a bloody nice guy on top of all of that. Deserves to get a good result because he has the right approach to racing. He defintely had the mindset of an enduro driver so expect these guys to do well.

well i now have even more respect for the Alzen boys who are competing at the Carrera cup round at the Monaco GP and the 24Hr on the same weekend.

Flying between the 2 tracks would be a bitch little own being in the middle of a 24Hr race at the toughest track in the world.

The car is powered by the same 224kW 2.0 TFSI engine as used in last year’s class winning Golf GTi hatch entry and features a DSG gearbox with steering wheel mounted shift paddles.

I agree i love the look of the car, should be good over the 24Hr period

I'm entering the Hiace, soon as the LPG, cruise control and dvd screen are fitted i'll fill in the rego forms - just need a couple of drivers?

Won't have to stop for tyres or brakes just a couple of tanks of LPG and maybe an aircon regas to keep cabin temps icy cold :w00t:

I guarantee I won't come last!

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
