I've been trying to follow the races at the Nurburgring this year because there's a sim racing youtuber I watch, Steve Brown aka Super GT, who's been participating in these races.

They're competing in the GT4 class (Team Bilstein by Black Falcon) and it seems for the 24h they've gotten Manuel Metzger, former overall winner of the Nurburgring 24h, on the team.

  Sadly SuperGT was disqualified from qualifying due to some speeding but hopefully the team can get a good result!

    From a comment on the Reddit thread: Code 60 was likely in place due to people on the track so it's taken very seriously.

    License revoked? Ouch. Sounds like the dream is dead for a while.
