For those of you that haven't heard of it before, the VLN (or "Langstreken Meisterschaft Nurburgring") is a 10 race GT series exclusive to the Nurburgring Nordschleife. The half way point of the championship (which is next weekend actually) is the infamous Nurburgring 24 hour which is like the "Touch Mudder" of endurance races, utter lunacy!
Anyway the championship itself is split into countless sub-classess and championships so it's common to see a McLaren 12C GTE spec car passing something like clio cup car on Dottinger Hohe!





The other thing is the grid is PACKED! With about 200 cars racing at the same time, (many more for the 24 hour race), the pit lane is obviously packed. 2-3 cars have to share a box and exclusivity is thrown out the window. As far as I know the top 'Ring specialists in SP9 class "Black Falcon" and "Gt Corse" get a bit more space in their boxes than the smaller teams (given the extra equipment, larger cars etc.) but in general it's a free for all....like the pic above!
