Perhaps the biggest talking point of the race was the hailstone-infused deluge which hit part of the track, causing multiple crashes and stranding many cars on track. The race was eventually won by the Black Falcon Mercedes-AMG GT driven by Maro Engel, Bernd Schneider, Adam Christodoulou and Manuel Metzger.

3:39 that moment when you know duct tape can fix everything even a racecar

So basically this video showed us that the team that won, won on a cheap ass maneuver “keep it straight” to make the other benz hit the side of his car.

I do that crap in need for speed and gran turismo but in a race like this. That shouldn’t be allowed.

No, that maneuver wasn’t cheap ass.
The gray Merc left too much space on the side and then tried to recover the lost bit mid corner, when the other white Merc was already on its back.
Plus, just right before that, the gray Mercedes team pushed it out of the pits when the engine was still off, so it was a full on push start, wich isn’t quite allowed either :v

ps: Haribo Merc should’ve won

24H of Nürburgring in a nutshell

When I watch the live stream last weekend, almost in every crash that I saw there was an Audi R8 even sometimes the crash is between an R8 with another R8.
