Was there that day, was for me the 2nd lauf of this year for me, with in between the 24h of course. Too bad you can't imagine how close the battle is standing next to the circuit on 1 point, so thanks for the video. Top speed of the Merceds is higher i guess, cornerring is better from Porsche's side but Mercedes came from a pit stop, dunno if they changed tyres. Had to miss last saturday's action, but onto the 6hours on 04.08.2012!
Oh boy! Doing a fast lap around the ring while throwing everything to pass the guy in front with a slightly faster car requires a lot of skill. Well done!
atemberaubender zweikampf, wahnsinn, was marc da abgezogen hat. schade, dass es am schluss nicht gereicht hat und schade, dass der kameraakku leer war.
Who was driving the Rowe SLS? Caus that guy was seriously pushing the limits of what's considered blocking and dirty driving. He was all over the place on Döttinger Höhe and tryed to squeeze the Manthey Porsche onto the grass. Pretty hard racing there.
Yes they got the BOP, Ballance of Performance. All Cars are nearly at 2,6Kg/HP after BOP. For example, 1200Kg-460HP, 1250Kg-480HP, 1300Kg-500HP and the Mamut Class with 1350Kg-520HP. They got 3 Things to Setup the Power to weight Ratio, 1 Air restrictor, 2 Penalty Weight, 3 Aeoro Dynamic Penalty. And with this 3 Parameter they make the Cars all nearly same Performance, 2,5-2,6Kg/HP. And VLN use the International GT2 and GT3 Rules.
Kudos to the mercedes driver , withstanding so much pressure from the porsche + traffic can be a bitch on a normal circuit but here.... damn, respect !
Wow just WOW. That was awe inspiring. Just minutes ago I was dozing off, now I'm wide AWAKE!! Just amazing and intense.
I love how there's like everything on the track, from an Opel Corsa to these cars, a lot of variety.
Very satisfying view. Warms me on a cold winter night. pass at 8:00 I was applauding.
The greatest race track ever ! Intense racing, brilliant stuff
!
11:00 classic porsche leap hehe... that really was some extraordinary footage, low battery icon at the end was the DEVIL!

I can watch all day...

New favorite Ring video. Awesome!
I imagine it was pretty intense seeing those two pass from both sides like that! Gutes maneuver!
Sehr spannend und hammer Runde von Roloff und Lieb!! Respekt an beide Fahrer bei so viel Verkehr so krass am Limit zu fahren!
Love the VLN and the Nordschleife. Best place on earth no doubt!
Typical Merc-driver: Blocking the street all the way!
Great battle! :)
kind of a shame the camera system puts the low battery icon in the video. Great chase!
Amazing!
7:39 one of the most interest moment)
will there be a new manthey porsche gt3 rsr in the green-yellow paint scheme after the legend went on retirement
2:38 nice front airbone :o

Wunderbarer Kampf! Super gemacht von Roloff und Rowe!
Great battle!
I want more
Klasse zum anschauen !

7:40 best scene. Would be nice to know, what the Renault Clio driver was thinking at this moment xD
Racing in its awesomeness *.*

Brilliant stuff. Shame battery ran out.
Der Hammer!
by the looks of things, the mercedes has more power, but is slower at the intake of corners (maybe cause of more weight?)
Exactly !
holy shit that was awesome
That was esciting!
Marc Lieb is my hero attacking the Nurburgring with Manthey Porsche !!!
Kudos to the mercedes driver , withstanding so much pressure from the porsche + traffic can be a bitch on a normal circuit but here.... damn, respect !
Who forgot to put a fresh battery in! =P
Gear shift indicator probably.
GRANDE Lieb!!!! / GRANDE Roloff!!!!!
The Porsche is lighter wich makes it possible for the driver to brake later into corners.
Damn, that was intense.
The Nimble Determination VS The Dirty Dinosaur.
The Merc guy is mad.
WOW...
the cars are equally fast at at straight line performance maybe the merc has a little edge but the porsche is way faster in corners.
Man those yellow flag sections must have been tense.
Porsche looks so easy to drive, just needs a bit more power!
He was thinking: WTF?! Ö_Ö
Guess it's time to go play Forza now!
Das bei 7.40 war mein Cup Clio
I tryed to give both enough space...........
geiler 2Kampf- krank
But at the same time, if I was the driver in the front I would of probably done the same thing at 7:45 to keep my position.
Fucking crazy ! Maximum attack :D
Welch ein super Video. Für alle ein Lehrstück, die meinen, sie könnten auf der Nordschleife schnell Autofahren.
07:45 I would have short talk with him at paddock about that move, short and painfull
At times the Porsche was so far up his pipes, he could see what the Mercedes driver had for breakfast
In my mind that was a blatant block at 7:44. I would have given him the bump and run from then on.
fuck that was crazy
The driver chasing is a better driver.
merc is 6.2L
07:42, wtf?
lol thats exactly what ive been thinking!!! XD gotta race the nordschleife now!
genau das dachte ich mir auch haha ;)
Pause this video at 8:35
Open this video in a second window: watch?v=QCcTtHhbCCk
When that video hits 0:15 press play on this one again.
Enjoy.
thats fast lol
8:50 leider geil!
schönes rennen aber einfach nur dreissst wie der benz den porsche auf der öttinger höhe beinahe mehrere male von der straße schiebt!
Its faster than the Porsche
11:00 :o
ich weis das ist normal, ist aber schon arschig das Manöver bei 3:24, lol, ich schmeiß mit Autos nach Dir hahaha
8:11 finde ich schlimmer als 7:45!
Im still a virgin
Oooooooo!! If he did that to me at 7:45 I would of blocked the shit out of him at 8:00.
Obvious that the Porsche had a faster driver, the Merc was the faster car.
Mercedes faster but Porsche better driver.Mercedes keeps blocking
Dirty Mercedes driver
What a blocking dousche, moving once on the straight is fine but twice should have earned him a visit on to the grass..
