GREAT !!Fastest Lap at Night 24h Nürburgring 2012 Porsche GT3 Cup Dörr Motorsport

from http://blogs.insideline.com

Here's one of those things about 24 hour endurance races: They race at night. When it's dark. Even at the Nurburgring. Where there aren't things like lights.

Racing at night limits your field of view not just ahead, but your peripheral vision is reduced to nearly nothing and with the exception of headlights, your rear-view is shot. It's disorienting and requires your full confidence in both your knowledge of the track and skill as a driver. And that's assuming you're driving something slower than a Porsche GT3 Cup.

Niclas Kentenich is a machine. We're all doomed.
