I expect the team of Chiyo, Rick Kelly, and our very own @Florian Strauß to win again. And win big. Everyone else is just racing for second place this weekend. B)

Go the Sim Racers!
I watched Florian Race in RF1 at Bathurst in the BMW 635 in Touring Pro.
The real thing must be a cinch after such achievements!!!

The photo on this post looks like a game screen shot, yet more proof that Australia is actually a fabrication by the English government to hide the fact they threw people of the cliffs of Dover in 1788.

@budlix my sentence was a literal translation of a German idiom, for your pleasure

GM humour comes to Racee Department, had to make it a beer since we don't do tea here.

I refute this conspiracy theory.
Any attempt to claim Ostraya does not exist is simply a smoke-screen to hide the embarassing truth that the British Government kept the rainy island and sent the convicts to a sub tropical paradise where they lived happily ever after only leaving to defeat the British at the games they invented.
No greater example than my grandads brother. Tiger Bill. I had my first ever beer in a pub with Tiger.

Carnival these days in Germany. You bet I will have a pint. Glad we are not yet all deleted, going so wide off!

In fact, it makes sense. In case you try to pay a visit to Australia, you will get killed pretty soon:
White shark
Deadly jellyfish
Giant crocodiles
Funnel spider
Blue octopus
Taipan snake

Don't forget drop bears, nasty little critters those

It would be nice to see the NISMO team get the win again with their Pro/Am driver line up. I like the fact that last year's guys had come from GT Academy. Audi has been on fire winning the 12 hrs of Sepang, 24 hrs of Dubai, and 24 hrs of Daytona. Maybe the field might receive some help if another kangaroo jumps the fence and takes out a few Audi R8s

Anything is possible

I remember last year the Audi looked untouchable, but thankfully did not have what it needed at the end to win. I can only hope for at least the same this year

I don't know why, I accept Audi make same brilliant cars (b6, b7 s4/rs4 awd V8, s3 Turbo awd hatch) but as a company I just can't support them at all hahaha

Sights and sounds from today thanks to speed cafe

How good is all the variety in engine note!

Thanks, now I'm completely lost.
That idiom should mean that something isn't the best of the bests I hope.
Btw in german I know: Das ist sehr schöne schmetterlinck. And Tschechischen sind eine grose simulantenbande.
