This BMW Z4 Just Turned Into A Fireball At The Pits During N24
This BMW Z4 Just Turned Into A Fireball At The Pits During N24-November 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:42

It was in third position when it entered the pits, but then it decided to fire up properly and get a bit further from a podium finish.

But if you think that stops a dedicated team at the Nürburgring 24 half an hour before midnight, think again. Foam, many fast hands with towels, green light to go back out there. It’s wet, it’s dark, cars are crashing into each other and losing wheels, so whoever survives the night is already a hero.

BMW seems to have the most efficient car cleaners at the Nürburgring, that’s for sure.

By the way, the is 16th at the moment after its driver switched off the ABS by accident, which disabled the speed limiter and gave Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus a three minute penalty. Bummer, but the car is running fine.
