One thing that you can guarantee at the start of the Nürburgring 24 hour race, is that Kevin Estre and Manthey Racing's Grello Porsche 911 GT3 R will be making their way to the front of the field. However, this 2023 addition of the race, has thrown some curveballs at Estre and Porsche with the brand new 992. Lets analyze how Estre and his team handle this adversity and try to bring their Porsche 992 GT3 R to the front of the field.

Thanks a lot for that Video mate! Great work to edit all that footage and very good analysis of the situations 👏🏼! If anything, try to tell the name of the other drivers, most of them are world class talents and each car has its strength… 😉 Kevin

Thank you, thats very kind, but all the credit goes to you. You did all the hard work, I just sat on my couch and did the editing! 🤙 I'll be sure to spread the love to other drivers, teams and manufactures in future videos (but just between you and me we know who the best really is 😉 ) But, in all honesty, even if you don't see it, you have provided so much happiness, excitement and inspiration to myself and so many others out there. Thank you and good luck at LM and Spa. 💪 -Mark

"WIR MACHEN DRUCK" on that Ferrari's back is a german word play. It's Wochenspiegel Ferrari and Wochenspiegel is a german newspaper. "Druck" in german means "print" and also "pressure". So you can translate it to: "We put on the pressure." but it also means "We do printing (newspapers)." Just in case anybody wanna know. :D BTW.. I never saw somebody so passionately commenting and choosing so well fitting video footage from our 24h race. As a german I salute you. Thanks so much for taking us on a hell of a ride with you :)

*footnote* For those more interested in the issues with the 992 that I alluded to in the intro: After a couple races Porsche actually told teams running the 992 to turn off their ABS and TC systems due to faulty wheel speed sensors. Although not officially confirmed, Porsche mentioned to some reporters that these issues had been resolved for the N24. However, I like to turn up the volume of the onboards during pit stops to hear what the drivers are saying to each other and during final practice I overheard Kevin Estre talking to Michael Christiansen. He said "you need to be careful on attack" because the rear tires lock up on initial application. Pure speculation, but I wonder if this meant that the ABS issues still weren't fully resolved and the rear tire lock up was increasing the rear tire wear and increasing the likelihood of punctures. P.S. Love you guys, hope you enjoyed!

@The_Devil_Riser Жыл бұрын

You may be correct but I could imagine Manthey would be the first to receive the new Wheel sensors as they are pretty much a factory team . they run low ABS for the best lap times as the ABS can extend braking zones. They were struggling with the rears locking on down shifts which damage the gearbox but they can’t move the brake balance forward due to the lack of weight

This video shows exactly why I love the 24h Nürburgring Race so much. You know Kevin Estre will put up a show. I watched the Grello onboard the whole race and it was amazing when Estre drove a 8:11 in his second stint at night. He is really one of the bests on the Nordschleife and so much fun to watch. What a shame they had to retire the car but it was the right decision. I'm already looking forward to next year.

What I love about Kevin Estre is that he takes big risks, but is cautious while doing so. He always brakes early enough to avoid crashes, but lets the brake fade to attack for an overtake. His judgement of the situation, the race craft, the knowledge where his and the opponent cars are positioned, these things are just incredible to watch. Calm and collective, yet aggressive, an awesome racer

Thats the thing with cars who make their laptime on the straights compared to the corners, as long as its still reasonably driveable its way way easier! You can just make yourself wide in the corners and then just drive past others on the straights. Using superior grip to overtake in corners or in braking zones is much harder. And your videos are great btw, i really love that more detailed focus on certain cars or drivers, often in races these storys tend to get missed because there is so much going on at the same time.
