13. Added the Nissan GT-R N24 Shulze Motor Sports
这次更新新增加的车款，于是找了两篇文章贴出来，以后玩的话方便查阅~~~
介绍这辆车今年比赛赛况的
==========
On June 25 and 26, 2011, the #71 Schulze Motorsport Nissan GT-R took part in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring 2011 driven by Michael Schulze, Tobias Schulze, Kazunori Yamauchi and Yasuyoshi Yamamoto. The car finished the race in 36th place overall, achieving a victory in the SP 8T class after overcoming several technical problems.
It was the first time a Nissan GT-R took part in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring.
==========
The time has finally come, and the 2011 edition of the Nurburgring 24h is about to start. Kazunori Yamauchi, creator of he Gran Turismo series, is one of the many drivers taking part in this legendary event at the wheel of the #71 Team Schulze Nissan GTR.
As promised here at DualShockers we’ll cover the race extensively for it’s whole duration. This post will be edited periodically in order to add information and updated news on the race and on Yamauchi’s team.
Alongside Yamauchi team Schulze includes Michael Schulze, Tobias Schulze and Yasuyoshi Yamamoto (founder of the legendary Japanese car tuner Opera Performance). The car is a Nissan GTR with a 6 cyl./3799 cc engine weighing 1520 kg, starting with number 71. They will be starting in 49th position overall, third position in their class SP 8T.
Here’s some information on how to follow the race:

But let’s start our coverage!
3:55 PM: Local Time: and the sky is cloudy. It’s raining just a bit and the track is slightly wet. The weather forecast says it might continue to rain today. The temperature is 15° Celsius. The race is about to start!
4:00 PM: The rain has worsened slightly, and the race has started on time. No crashes during the very crowded start, which is great.
4: 20 PM: The rain has suddenly stopped, playing a bad joke on the drivers. The track is drying up fast, and most of the cars are going back to the pits in order to change tires. There’s a big chaos in the pitlane as everyone crowds it in order to try and change their rain tires to slicks. Rain tires would be very dangerous on a dry Nurburgring, as the track is so long that going back to the pits might take a long time.
4:25 PM: We can confirm that Yamauchi’s #71 changed tires to slicks as well. You can see the pit stop in the snapshot just below. We’ll see at the end of the current lap if the team managed to gain some positions or lost them during the chaos of the pit stop.
It’s extremely diffi*** to predict what kind of tires to use in this kind of weather conditions at the Nurburgring 24h, because the cars need to be ready on the grid 45 minutes before the start of the race. In fact, almost everyone started with rain or intermediate tires.
4:50 PM: Yamauchi’s #71 is currently in 72nd position after four laps. The early pit stop must have hurt their standing. In that kind of chaos with almost every car on the track scrambling to pit, getting out of it becomes a lottery. The race is still just at the beginning though, so there’s still a whole lot of room for improvement. The weather is still extremely unstable.
5:00 PM: #71 is in 74th now. Things are downright chaotic, as it started raining again. This weather must be driving the pit teams crazy. An Audi just spun out.
5:11 PM: The rain is still very light and #71 is climbing positions quickly. It’s in 54th position as the moment.
5: 26 PM: #71 continues to climb ranks beautifully, with an extremely fast 8th lap timed at 9:33:144. It’s now in 41st position, for the first time after the initial chaotic pit stop they are in a better position than their initial one.
5:43 PM: Let’s give a quick look to Team Schulze’s opponents in class SP 8T: The most fearsome opponent is Volkswagen’s official racing team, Volkswagen Motorsport. They have a full hand of three Golf GT 24. #35, #135 and #235. They’re light (weighing only 1300 kg) stable and powerful, and are fearsome opponents on the Nurburgring. In addition to it they have the full support of an auto maker behind them. Official teams are always the hardest to compete against. Another veteran team, Götz Motorsport, fields two Audi RS4, #72 and #73. They’re lighter than the GTR as well (weighing 1350 kg), and have experienced teams at the wheel.
#135 is leading the class at the moment, in 17th overall position. #235 is following in 42nd. Yamauchi’s #71 GTR is third, in 45th. #35 is 58th, #73 and #72 are at the bottom of the class rankings in 66th and 67th position. It’s looking like it’ll be a close and bitterly fought race to see who will come up on top of SP 8T class.
5:49 PM: #29 Audi just had a nasty spin and impacted violently against the barriers. The driver is unhurt, but it’s race over for them. Lots of dirt and fluids on the track.
6:00 PM: Another pit stop for Yamauchi’s #71 for a driver change. It’s now slipped down to 69th position due to the 4 minutes lost during the stop.
6:17 PM: #71 is back in the top 60, climbing fast, currently in 54th position, 4th in the SP 8T class.
6:29 PM: At the bottom of the 14th lap Yamauchi and team are climbing the rankings more, currently on 48th with another fast lap: 9 minutes and 35 seconds. Still fourth in the class as the lighter Golf GT’s have an advantage on the dry course.
7:00 PM: #71 is back in 53rd position. The sky is clearing and this may be a problem for Team Schulze, as the GTR is the heaviest car in it’s class. Rain would be a blessing, but so far it doesn’t seem it’s going to happen anytime soon.
7:12 PM: #206 BMW 318 IS just went into the grass at the Pflanzgarten and the car literally took off, flying over the barrier and crashing out of the track. That was a nasty sight…
7:26 PM: #71 is now stably in 50th position, running on a rather constant 9:35 time. Catching the Golf GT’s of Volkswagen Motorsport will be very hard even if nothing is impossible. In the meanwhile #2 Hankook Ferrari is firmly holding the lead, making German manufacturers rage, no doubt.
7:31 PM: At the end of the ** lap, Yamauchi’s team is climbing again, in 43rd position. Unfortunately for them an update on the weather forecast shows stable improvement, as it probably won’t rain anymore, and tomorrow might actually be sunny.
7:44 PM: While #71 is in 42nd position, #1 BMW that had ***ed the lead from #2 Ferrari drove too much into the inside at the Carousel and lost control, tapping on another car and spinning, while they aren’t out of the race, their fight for the lead is now severely compromised.
8:00 PM: four hours into the race, Yamauchi just drove his GTR into the pits. You can see his car in the picture below as it almost got rear ended by #14 Audi at the entrance of the pit lane.
8:17 PM: after the pit stop and a driver change #71 slid back down in 50th position. In other news the Hankook Ferrari lost the lead to #9 hybrid Porsche, due to a long pit stop due to a broken suspension.
8:46 PM: One hour to full sunset, #71 is stuck in 44th position. In the meanwhile #9 hybrid Porshe lost the lead due to severe problems in the gearbox and had to pit in (probably to change it altogether), just as the Hankook Ferrari finally managed to get back into the race, after more than forty minutes.
9:09 PM: At the end of the 30th lap, #71 is now climbing slowly again, currently in 38th position, after a quick pit stop. The team also just improved their record lap with a 9:27:085.
9:25 PM: It’s starting to get dark, #71 slid back in 43rd position after a slower lap. A quick note on one of their direct competitors, #235 Golf GT: the team includes Johnny Herbert and Mark Blundell. Both were Formula 1 drivers, giving a good idea on the caliber of the competition.
9:50 PM: #71 GTR is still stuck in 43rd position. A car just spun at the first turn of the F1 track. I’m feeling sympathetic, considering how many times I’ve spun there both in Gran Turismo 5 and Forza 3…
10: 10 PM: Yamauchi’s team is again climbing in the ranks. Currently in 36th position after a very fast 9:18.553 lap. It’s now fully dark, and the experience of drivers is really going to start to matter.
10:24 PM: #135 Golf GT is having trouble, stuck at the beginning of the pit lane facing the wrong way. No effort is being made to remove it at the moment, and it might be out of the race. In that case, with one of the leading SP 8T class cars out, a podium finish would be much more possible for Yamauchi and team Schulze. That’s the essence of endurance races. Driving fast is important, but handling problems the best way (because problems are going to happen in twenty-four hours on such an unforgiving track) and keeping a cool head and the car in the best condition is even more determining.
Yamauchi just posted on his *** account: “Passed the baton to the next driver up to #37 overall, and then passed the baton to push throughout the third stint in the #47 overall. My body is finally getting accustomed to the machine and because the head began to run freely, independent of the body, I was trying to adjust without disturbing it. ” Keep in mind that my Japanese is far from perfect, so the translation may be a little wacky. Feel free to post a better one in the comments.
10:38 PM: #135 is being towed out, with significant damage to the front. Looks like it rear ended another car while entering the pits, resulting in both cars heavily damaged. It’s possibly race over for them. Yamauchi’s #71 is currently 39th on it’s 38th lap, in third position in SP 8T class.
10:49 PM: Looks like Volkswagen Motorsport is facing it’s darkest moment, as #35 Golf GT has been in the pits for a while as well. We don’t know what it’s status is at the moment. In the meanwhile #71 climbed to 36th position.
11:17 PM: It’s almost Sunday on the Nurburgring, and the #71 GTR is still stable in 36th position overall, 2nd position in the SP 8T class. #35 Golf GT dropped in 50th position, as it’s now completely dark on the track.
11:38 PM: #71 is in 33rd position and going at a stable pace. So far so good.
Midnight: it’s Sunday now on the Nurburgring, and we’re now eight hours into this epic race. Here’s the full standings of the SP 8T class:
1: #235 Volkswagen Golf GT – Volkswagen Motorsport (22nd overall)
2: #71 Nissan GTR – Schulze Motorsport (33th overall)
3: #72 Audi RS4 – Götz Motorsport (61st overall)
4: #73 Audi RS4 – Götz Motorsport (72nd overall)
5: #35 Volkswagen Golf GT – Volkswagen Motorsport (109th overall, must be having further problems)
6: #135 Volkswagen Golf GT – Volkswagen Motorsport (In the pits, probably retired)
Yamauchi and his team are going strong. A class win is not impossible!
00:44 AM: Yamauchi’s #71 is now 31st overall, still second in it’s class. We’re now in the timeframe in which most mistakes happen, so it’s good that they’re keeping a safe, steady pace.
1:11 AM: #71 dropped a few positions. Curently 35th overall, at the bottom of it’s 53rd lap. Times are still good though. They just clocked a 9:20 lap.
1:26 AM: The #71 GTR is now up again on 31st position. Will the team manage to break into the top 30?
1:35 AM: One of the direct competitors of Yamauchi’s GTR, #35 VW Golf GT is stuck in the pits. The team is replacing the gearbox, and the process will take three hours and a half. While they plan to resume, their bid on the class podium is compromised.
2:00 AM: Things are looking up fpr #71′s GTR, as after a pit stop it has finally broken into the top thirty of the leaderboards. It’s now in 28th place overall, still in 2nd position for class SP 8T.
This concludes our coverage for tonight, as I’m heading for a quick pit stop in bed. I’ll resume coverage in the early morning at about 7 AM local time (1 AM EDT, 10 PM PDT) in a new post (since this one is starting to get too long). Stay tuned!
=======
It’s finally morning on the legendary Nurburgring track, and Kazunori Yamauchi (creator of the Gran Turismo series) is currently racing as part of Team Schulze Motorsport on the #71 Nissan GTR.
We left Yamauchi and his companions a few hours ago in 28th position overall and 2nd in class SP 8T, but now the situation has improved. #235 WV Golf GT of the Wolkswagen Motorsport official team has been stuck in the pits for a while due to suspension problems and fell back into the ranking, allowing the #71 GTR to overtake them, taking class lead for the moment.
But the race is still long, with eight hours and a half to go, and #35 is back in the race, counting on the experience of veteran ex-F1 drivers like Jhonny Herbert and Mark Blundell, it’s lapping very fast, so the battle for first position in the SP 8T class will be fierce.
As yesterday I will cover the race live, and edit this post periodically to add information and updated news on the race and on Yamauchi’s team. So reload the post often!
Here’s a few information on how you can follow the race:
First of all you can join the IRC channel we prepared for the event #CheerOnKazunori on the Sorcerynet server, were we will discuss and chat directly:

The best radio coverage in English can be listened on radiolemans.com.
But get down to business and start our coverage, that will continue to the end of the race at 4 PM local time. You can find our coverage for yesterday and the beginning of the night here.
7:39 AM: #71 GTR is going at a very constant pace, around 9 minutes, 30 seconds per lap, as has been for the whole race. It’s currently in 27th position overall and leads the SP 8T class at the end of 90th lap. #235 Golf GT is in 37th position, three laps behind, but lapping very fast. They just clocked a 9:04:484. The battle is still on, and it might become fierce in the hours to come. In the meanwhile Team Need For Speed #77 BMWs was involved in a spectacular incident, hitting another car and then jumping over the armco, flipping over out of the track. Let’s hope the driver is ok!
7:43 AM: The driver of #77 has been confirmed safe. Yamauchi’s #71 is still stably in 27th position overall at the end of the 91st lap.
8:00 AM: News come directly from Yamauchi on his Twitter account (looks like he’s not driving at the moment): “Still racing at the Nurburgring 24h. 27th overall and 1st in class. We’d like to contonue like this to the end”. The overall leaderboard is led, at the moment, by #18 Porsche. Below you can see Yamauchi’s GTR tailing the current leader closely as they avoid the area of a crash.
8:23 AM: Yamauchi’s #71 climbed to 26th position, but lowered the pace a little bit. It just clocked a 9:48.962 95th lap, as the TV camera focuses on it. It’s relatively cold and very damp on the Nurburgring with 15°C and 91% humidity. Just under eight hours to go.
8:45 AM: #71 is still stable in 26th, but #235 now in 36th is gunning it, clocking 20 seconds faster laps. There are still three laps between them, but the battle for first place in SP 8T is definitely not decided yet.
9:00 AM: Yamauchi’s GTR just lost a position during lap 97, keeping a stable pace just under 10 minutes a lap and is now 27th overall. Still leading the SP 8T class.
9:18 AM: #71 is losing positions, now 31st overall. They had an extremely slow lap, clocking 23:55.530. It may have been a longer pit stop to solve whatever problem was causing them to slower the pace compared to yesterday and last night. We’ll see at the end of next lap if things go back to normal. TV coverage will be paused for the next couple hours, so we’ll have to be happy with static cameras until 11 AM.
9:32 AM: #71 is back on it’s usual pace, and back on 30th position overall. The gap with #235 has closed considerably now. The Golf GT is just one lap behind.
9:54 AM: Yamauchi’s #71 Might be having problem. They clocked lap 101 at 25:46.234. The #235 Golf GT managed to overtake them, but positions might switch again as the Golf just went into the pits. Let’s hope Team Schulze manages to clear the problem!
10:05 AM: Team Schulze seems to have cleared the problem. #71 clocked a 9:23.170, now battling closely with #235, that’s still ahead.
10:26 AM: the #71 GTR has finished lap 104 in 9:21.193. #235 is speeding ahead though, thanks to the lighter weight and the elite drivers at the wheel. They just lapped on 9:09.417 and overtaken #134 Audi TT S, so now there’s a car in between the two contenders for the SP 8T win.
10:46 AM: The gap is increasing between #71 and #235. The GTR finished lap 106 in 13:16.444, while the Golf GT did an awesome 9 minutes flat lap.
11:23 AM: #71 is now past the 110th lap, still in 34th position overall and 2nd for the SP 8T class. There are two cars between it and #235, which is lapping costantly faster. The GTR is going steady, though, the technical problems from before seem to have disappeared.
11:40 AM: team Schulze’s #71 just gained a position, in 33rd overall now.
12:00 PM: More technical problems for #235 Golf GT, currently stuck in the pit lane. We don’t know it’s current status other than that. Yamauchi’s #71 is back in the lead in class SP 8T. This is the nature of endurance racing. The GTR is heavier, but so far it’s also proving sturdier, while the VW’s are proving not as reliable.
12:30 PM: #71 is currently in 31st overall position, lapping at a lovely constant 9:30-ish pace. It’s looking good to get back in the top 30 soon.
12:54 PM: the #71 Nissan GTR just had a quick pit stop and came out still in 31st position.
1:20 PM: Yamauchi’s #71 seems to be having some kind of trouble again. Fell back into 35th position, after a 25:48.515 lap. We’ll have to see what happens during the next lap or two.
1:27 PM: #71 just clocked a 9:46.564 lap, so whatever problem it had before, it didn’t stick around. Though now the #73 Götz Motorsport Audi RS4 closed the gap, just two laps behind, racing more or less on the same pace. Who will win the SP 8T class?
1: 50 PM: #71 has now regained 34th position, opening the gap with #73 a little more.
2:19 PM: #71 currently in the pits, it’s still two laps ahead of #73. Yamauchi’s team is going to make us sweat to the very last moment. Hopefully everything will be ok in the final hour and fourty minutes.
2:34 PM: #71 is still in the pits, dangerously losing time. They’re probably having more technical problems. #73 seems to be having trouble as well, though, in the middle of the course. We’ll have to see how this duel ends, or more, who manages to solve their problems first, if at all. It’s a critical moment for Yamauchi’s team!
2:43 PM: Yamauchi’s #71 GTR just came out of the pits after an excruciatingly long pit stop, due to unspecified technical problems. It’s still in the lead of SP 8T class!
As a side note, #88 Gazoo Racing Lexus LFA had a serious electrical problem and had to stop on the side of the track. Too bad, because they are great guys and the car looked fantastic.
3:00 PM: Team Schulze’s #71 is in 38th position overall now, due to the twenty-some minutes spent in the pits. #73 is stationary on the side of the track. It’s probably game over for them. Yamauchi’s team has been plagued by mechanical trouble this morning, but they’re still firmly in the lead. One hour to go!
3:09 pm: #71 is gunning it again, with a quite fast 9:21.495 128th lap. Still in 38th position overall.
3:45 PM: #71 continues to clock constant laps around 9:30. Still in 38th position overall and leading the SP 8T class. The critical moment seems in the past now. Bring it home!
3:52 PM: The judges just signaled the last lap! The #71 GTR has managed to gain a position is now 37th overall. Still leading the class. It’s almost done. Good job team! Kazunori Yamauchi and team Schulze are bringing home an epic victory in the SP 8T class at the Nurburgring 24h!
4:00 PM: The end! Yamauchi’s GTR finishes 37th overall, and achieves a fantastic class victory!
