Le Mans 24 hour: Nurburgring.

Today was the first day of 24 Le Mans race at the world famous Nurburgring Circuit in Germany, which goes from 4 p.m. Saturday to 4 p.m. Sunday. I've been waiting two weeks for this race, and I am super pumped. This year I have been keeping my eye on the Manthey Racing Porsche GT3 RSR, with driver Porsche Factory driver Marc Lieb, who use to drive in German Formula 1. This is probably his 3rd or 4th time driving in a 24 hours series, and definitely his 3rd time driving in the Nurburgring. Last year he took the championship at the 24 series in Nurburg, was also a 2007 winner with the same Manthey Porsche at the same track, and has also won a few GT-2 series championships. So as you can see, he is the man for the job, especially with the 911. From looking at all the qualified drivers, 90% of the cars consist of GT3's and R8's, and after watching the live video, Manthey Racing and the #99 R8 LMS car have been duking it out through out the whole race, swtiching with the 1st and 2nd place pole positions. I just hope that Mantey Racing can keep the top 3 position through out the whole race.
