Some cars were even unable to climb uphill due to the hail and ice, leaving the drivers stranded on the track. The race has been red flagged due to the crashes and mayhem. The restart won’t be before 6pm, with cars being allowed to drive back to the pits for repairs.

And guess what? While all this drama was taking place, the pitlane was nice and dry. Only at the Nurburgring!

Technically, this isn’t exactly a 24 hour race now is it? :/

Well it technically never is. Very rarely they actually race for the whole 24h. Many interruptions occur, which is normal.
