Dear Ultimatecarpage.com visitor,

Less than two weeks after Le Mans, the endurance racing community in Europe sprung back to action for this weekend's Nurburgring round of the Le Mans Series. Despite the very short time to prepare the machines, only one team was missing. Nevertheless the entry list sported fifty names, making it the largest field ever for the Le Mans Series. Rain was in the air the entire weekend, but fortunately it stayed there until thirty minutes after the race. A highlight of the support program was the Classic Endurance Racing one hour race. It brought forty four 1960s and 1970s GT and prototypes to the track on Saturday afternoon, including five BMW M1s and an equal number of Chevron B16s. The race was a thriller with some of the cars crossing the finish line side by side.
Sunday afternoon was reserved for the modern racers, who put on an interesting, but not overly entertaining show. What was highly impressive was the very low number of retirements; quite a contrast to the massacre that was Le Mans. Barely recovered from Le Mans and Goodwood, our photographers ventured out to the legendary site. They have returned with a full report and a spectacular 150-shot slideshow.
