We are looking to host the TORA VLN mid November on a weekend, looking like Saturday the 17th, so more people can join. This VLN race will also be a big test for the car list that will make up the Nurb8, although some changes may be made after it.

by XPR Roadrunner Thu 11 Oct 2012 - 21:21

if you pause it right at 14:36, surely thats a Challenger, they dont make mustangs with 2 pairs of headlights that close together

its not, if you got back 15s or so earlier you see it coming out of the hairpin on the GP circuit and it has a continous rear light, A8's didn't have that, but Challengers did.

I still don't get why/how its not classified

There where no Challengers or Mustangs at the Nurburgring 24....

I still have the qually print outs in my living room and nope, would have been a bigger thing made of it if an American car like that had entered.

It was the Audi A8.

What's the exact time where that is?

Here's the rear of the Audi. The stripes might have looked like a continuous light...
