Yahoo Autos What It's Like to Race the Nurburgring 24 Hours
The Nurburgring 24 Hours is far from easy. Many drivers consider it more difficult than Le Mans thanks to the circuit's huge length, hundreds of corners, and little runoff. Now, thanks to this video, we get to see the race through the perspective of a driver, and experience what an entire day racing at the Green Hell is really like.
Jethro Bovingdon of DriveTribe was able to get a seat in the brand new BMW M4 GT4 factory race car for the event, teaming up with drivers Ricky Collard, Druk Adorf, and Jörg Weidinger. The GT4 was there to test its new AP racing brake system, which is still in development.
The M4 GT4, if you remember, is BMW's latest customer racing offering, featuring a slew of parts from the fantastic road-legal M4 GTS, while implementing a bunch of race-ready features to make it dominant on track.
With a camera team in tow, Bovingdon documented the entire experience from start to finish. The team's race was far from uneventful, and the video makes for a hell of a watch. Throw on some headphones and take a look.
