In the interlude of the 24-Stunden-Rennens (SA., starting from 14.30 o'clock live in the DSF) it came on the legendary north loop to the bad misfortune. With the Rundstrecken Challenge so called hit hone since pilot Thomas's autumn (Großbettlingen) in the distance section " Bergwerk" with full force on the vehicle of its competitor of olive Noss. While autumn, which was only easily injured with the Crash, was brought to the medical investigation in the hospital Adenau, Noss with the Rettungshubschrauber had to be flown to the protestant pin hospital to Koblenz. There the 34-Jährige lies according to statements of the treating physicians with heaviest head injuries on the intensive care unit. Its condition should be however stable.

already a serious injury (sorry it has been translated from german)

a civic and cleo involved in this accident

I bet the electric thingy goes good but doesn't finish.

Good luck to our aussie mates

On Thursday nights at 8:30pm on channel TVS (free to air, just scan for it) they have a 30min show that follows an aussie team at the 'Ring involving 3 cars (2 mirages and an ex v8sc).

Despite the low budget production (c'mon its a western sydney station) it's actually quite fun to watch.

Warren Luff has qualified 19th.

Read his email to me below.

Hi All,

Well its midnight friday night here and we have just finished night qualifying which went from 7.30pm till 11.00pm, we also had a 90 session his morning. We ended up p19 out of 220 starters which also means we get to run a blue strobe light on the roof of our car, only the top 20 cars get this and its basically a signal to the rest of the field that a fast car is coming and they must get out of your way. Also on pit stops you get priority in pit lane, in our garage we have 6 teams based in there so it gets rather busy. But on a pit stop if we come in and they are in doing there stop our guys can basically push their car forward to make room for ours and take the refuelling hose out of their car. Dont think we are going to make too many friends in our garage!!!!!!!!!!!

Practice and qualifying today was very busy out on track, trying to get a clear lap is virtually impossible. So you are just trying to get the clearest lap you can, but some of the driving standards leave a lot to be desired. The Porsche that is on pole position from Manthey racing ended up having a big shunt with a slower car and ripped all the front bar and radiators out of the thing, also their number 2 car had a oil line come loose and the thing nearly burnt to the ground. So you dont have to look far to find chaos out there.

The night session was good fun, i only did 1 lap right towards the end but it gives you a taste of what is to come tomorrow night. Lets just say it will be busy out there!!!!!!

Any way race start tom is 3pm local time here which is 11pm Aus, so keep your fingers crossed for us and hopefully I will have a good report for you all after the race.

Enjoy a relaxing weekend, mine will be a little busier than normal.

I've been at Phillip Island for the last 5 days so totally missed all the goings on. This is the best Aussie results board I've found.
