Just had confirmation from Tom Schirmer that Michael Funke, driving my CSL has won the race overall

We beat the Alzen porsche who was 2nd, and set a new lap record for the RS6 class of 7 minutes 31 seconds.

Not sure what the series is Steve but nonetheless sounds like a good win. I presume it us full Nords laps in which case car seems to be running very well.

What is the race duration?

Its a 2.5 hour race on the Nordschleife only, but its complicated - your second lap (I think) is stored as your base time and on certain laps over the 2.5 hour period you get points for getting within 5 seconds of your base time. The overall result is based not just on who crosses the line first, but also the consistency of those laps. Complicated, but cool

We crossed the line first and got the points for consistency, thereby beating the Alzen Porsche who is a regular top 3 finisher in the VLN and 24 hour

Funny, after I posted that I was looking and thinking, "Hang on, that's a left hooker"

Where's the white one these days then?
