Might be again a Mercedes AMG winning, but with some Doep doep doep doept!

Sunday high noon CET.

Yes. I just do not know yet if it is on TV anywhere or just in some stream...
Does anyone know where we can watch it?

I will enjoy also the new M3 Touring by BMW.

Hope more F1 drivers go to VLN...imagine Pia in a McLaren GT3, the Ferrari gang on the 296 with RedBull branding...Alo and Hulk in a Porsche

The nurburgring has its own youtube channel. You can watch all NLS races live or delayed in both German and English. Qually as well, but normally only in with German commentary.

Thank you guys!

..... but normally only in with German commentary.

You mean....without Sky UK commentators? This weekend is getting better and better.

I hope for the orange army, that Doep doep doep doept does not finish doeping in the first corner by someones dive bomb....was close call last time already.

Sorry, I didn't see you already posted this.

Team Redline is also streaming the race on their Twitch account.

I actually think the PU may be up there equal to merc once the weight is manageable. It's just the aero/chassis lacking that is obfuscating this

I don't care whether the RB22 wins races or not, I just wish for the weight to come down and the RB22 redeem itself by acing medium/high-speed corners and shut the mouths of people claiming 'aero is s--t after Newey gone' because that claim undermines the intelligence/hardwork of mid-&-lower level engineers in the organization. They aren't idiots. No package can emerge victorious if there is only one clever guy at the top and the others are fools. A team doesn't succeed with their product like that.

Following the weather-enforced break, the Eifel is buzzing with excitement ahead of the 58th ADAC Barbarossa Prize and the ‘real’ start of the NLS season!
All eyes are on the eagerly awaited debut of Formula 1 World Champion Max Verstappen, who is making his first appearance in a
Mercedes-AMG GT3 in the Green Hell. Carrying start number 3, the champion is taking on the assembled endurance elite and aims
to prove that he can compete at the very front even on the toughest circuit in the world. But he isn’t the only highlight on the grid, as a viral fan project is finally becoming a reality: the BMW M3 Touring 24H is rolling to the start!
What began as an April Fool’s joke in 2025 has been transformed by Schubert Motorsport into a thoroughbred GT3 racing machine,
whose design consists entirely of genuine fan comments. This spectacular duo faces top-class competition from Rowe Racing,
Abt Lamborghini and the lightning-fast Falken Porsche. Experience four hours of non-stop action as exotic cars meet world-class drivers and motorsport history is made.

We don't worry about the car, because Newey left, but because like 10+ key people left without any significant new hire.

Low and mid level engineers can't do miracles if priorities and resources are not set right. Or if atmosphere is bad and motivation is low.
Or if communication across departments are not efficient.
Or if bottlenecks are not identified and addressed appropriately. Or if they don't get the necessary tools. I won't continue, you get the picture.

Nobody thinks management design the car, but they have a role and even the best engineers can't work effectively if the environment is not right.

Stop the doomsaying please.

Marshall (already 3 years ago) and Newey are the key technical losses. And Skinner from early this year.

Wheatley, Courtenay, Horner were not part of the core tech team.

Many of the core tech people are still there. It is not always bad when no-one is hired. It just means they believe they can cover with their own internal talented engineers.

Mercedes also lost several key people at the top (Vino, Serra etc) and didn't hire massively, and they are back at the top also on the chassis/aero side.

[pantherxxx]

Promoting internally is usually better, because they are already familiar with the tools and workprocesses, and integrated into the team culture. And all brilliant engineers have to start somewhere. From the top engineers only Newey and Marshall didn't work on the RB22. Skinner was still the chief designer. Red Bull according to Linkedin have 700+ engineers working on the car (not including the engine people). So I'm sure they can promote the right people internally. I think the problem is that they developed the 2025 car very late, not the lack of engineering talent. And that car's problem was wind tunnel correlation. Even Newey can't do sh@t if the correlation feedback is poor. But Wache said that for the 2026 regs it's much easier to have good correlation. So the problem is definitively not correlation or lack of talent, just simply started developing too late, so car is half finished. Very basic aero + quite overweight. Loot of room to improve, and they will catch up eventually.
