41 GT3-spec cars are entered in the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring, which is a record.
SP 9 is divided into 22 cars in the Pro class, 13 in Pro-Am and 6 in the Am class.
A further 5 cars in SP-X, two in AT1 and one in SP-Pro round out the 49-car Starting Group 1.

@VincentJBruins Felipe Fernandez laser is down to drive both Walkenhorst entries? I assume he'll only actually be driving in one car but is there as they haven't decided which yet?
@VincentJBruins So hyped for this year's race, most competitive field ever, I reckon. Just hoping the weather plays out well and no red flags this year 🏁😁
With 161 cars, it's the biggest ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring field since 2014.
That year 165 cars started. It was the Dörr McLaren MP4-12C of Sascha Bert, Kévin Estre, Peter Kox and Tim Mullen from pole.
With 41 cars in SP 9, it's the biggest GT3 field ever.

The Falken Porsche was only just cleared at Hatzenbach, but now there's yellows again, as the Toyo Mercedes-AMG of Yuichi Nakayama grinds to a halt.
#IGTC#24hNBR
The Falken Porsche was the eighth car in the Top Qualifying order, so the first seven cars did not have to deal with the slow zone at Hatzenbach on their first timed lap, while the others will.

Assuming and hoping that there is no injured people there, it'd be nice to have some sort of footage or live feed showing the scene of the crash.

@JimmyBroadbent@RSL_Studio@radiolemans Left rear suspension failure somehow, spun it round just before Sabine Schmitz curve. Not sure if it was contact or not that caused the suspension breakage. Great stint Jimmy!!
Listening in to your awesome (as always) NLS coverage!
Super sad to come across the stranded Z4 in my stint, but I missed what happened. Any idea?
