Hi everybody,
it’s Friday night and I am relaxing in my hotelroom.
So far we had a good start off the 24h race. Marc was driving today the qualifying and put the GT3 on second. position. After tha,t only Romain drove 2 laps to get some practise in the dry. The race which he joined me, it was raining nonstop.
Timo and me were only driving yesterday. For me it was a bit bad because when I was driving my only 2 laps so far, I was always out on the wrong set of tires. In the dry on wet tires and than with slick it started to rain in Hatzenbach. ….but I will get enough driving time from tomorrow on 😉 .
The Audis are definately quick and I think we never had more cars as close as this time in qualifying.
Interesting to see the first two hours of the race because then you can see where everybody is really standing.
So far we are in a good shape.

Today I was co comentating on the DSF sports channel. Tomorrow I will do the same for the start of the race.

Anything else?
Yes, I have a new partner, UVEX.
They are a young company breaking into the market of drivers equipment.
They have cool stuff like racesuits, underwear, helmets, shoes etc. You should check them out.
As well my longterm partner ARAI and Point Racing handed me over a new helmet. Painted by PTM Design.

That was a quick update from what’s going on up here in the “Eifel” where the best 24h race will be started tomorrow at 16.00 CET.

I will try to let you know a bit more during the race.

Now it’s bed time, my room mate Dumas just came in. Every 24h race we share the room. Porsche has to save money 😉 .
Time sleeping ahead for tomorrow ;-))
Good night guys.
Marcel
