The 2005 24h endurance race at the 'ring

Knowing that it was going to be very cold, very windy and a very wet day I decided to head out to the Nürburgring (300 miles one way) anyway's. I wanted to be part of witnessing the last time BMW would enter their M3 GTR's in a race because as after the 24h both cars will find a new place in a BMW museum.

The pictures where taken on Saturday on the grid and early parts of the race. I'm too lazy to sort and comment each picture. Nonetheless I hope you like them.

And the winner is.....

The Schnitzer/BMW M3 GTR's go out in a blaze of glory with a 1 and 2 finish!

Congrats to Boris Said for being the first American to win the 24h race on the 'ring after crossing the finish line on Sunday.
