View Full Version : 24 Hours at the Nurbugring is on Speedvision now - has the ABT Audi Quattro in it!!! Mike Zamarocy 08-01-1999, 09:02 PM Its on TV right now for about an hour. They just shown an ABT Audi A4 Quattro - but it is running on Natural Gas! WEIRD! Steve S. 08-01-1999, 10:14 PM Hey, I got Nascar on my TV...imagine that..<p>Steve S.<br>97 2.8QM Mike Zamarocy 08-02-1999, 01:46 AM Probably showed the Audi maybe a total of 3 minutes - and not all at the same time. They were more concerned with the leading Viper and the older Opel Calibra. But there was an interesting shot of a Lotus Elise - well, when it caught on fire. But damn, that Nurburgring track is NARROW!!! And to top that offm they had over 195 cars entered, in 3 different groups started at 3 diferent times! WHOA! AC 08-02-1999, 07:42 AM That was Christian Abt running his ex-works A4. The article mentioned how Abt had problems and had to stop nowhere near the pits. He gets out of the car, pops the hood, sees the problem but has no tools. He yells at the spectators over the fence and someone scrambles to get him a tool bag. He fixes the problem and is off. It seems like this race isn't as "serious" as the LeMans 24-hour. |
