    is there a gt-r next year?   [Tom]

  • 64

    Good photo. It is much more than the level of ordinary undulations.   [Murcie]

  • 63

    Only the fog lights are turned on.   [Shiso ume]

  • 62

    Well, the LF-A's potential is different, isn't it?   [Guy]

  • 61

    But when the goal is nearer, it comes up, so hold on moderately. The race is so long, Utsumi.   [Felippe Masso]

  • 60

    The cause is unknown, isn't it?>#15   [Desumo]

  • 59

    I think they will be disqualified, if the car cannot be driven to the pit. What do you think?   [jyai]

  • 58

    It took quite a time. Return after 3 hours. They must be tired.   [Putaro]

  • 57

    I like LF-A because of its design as well as its driving performance.   [Sou Sou]

  • 56

    Murcie-san>If so, there should be some photos showing the car returning to the pit?   [Kitto]

  • 55

    OK! Thank you, Desmo.   [Yasu]

  • 54

    It comes up in a single moment. Great!   [Hongo]

  • 53

    To come back, it'll take 4 hours.   [Tiger]

  • 52

    Congratulation on jumping up   [Shiso ume]

  • 51

    The camera will be switched to the fixed position after sunset.   [Felippe Masso]

  • 50

    Same as Guy-san said.   [Chiki]

  • 49

    It got dark.   [hatch-potch]

  • 48

    If you make a double click on the streaming page, it becomes large.   [Desmo]

  • 47

    What damage does Car 15 suffer?   [Desumo]

  • 46

    Felippe Masso, don't you feel the teams and we all fight with sleepiness,   [Utsumi]

  • 45

    Come on 14!! come on Javier !   [Sebas]

  • 44

    Kitto-san, let's not think of it!   [Tantan]

  • 43

    I feel some kind of nostalgiy when I see the pic of Car 15.   [Fukku]

  • 42

    I believe every path will lead to the perfect automotive seasoning.   [Racer 100]

  • 41

    Reporter on the site, please show the damage of Car 15.   [Guy]

  • 40

    They are now starting repairs? We have to wait for the car to come back on the track. Oh, Andre!   [Monkichi]

  • 39

    Is it? Thank you! I will take a nap until the transmission begins.   [Ki]

  • 38

    I wanna own this car... or the production version... or maybe even get in line for the roadster? It's kinda hard since I'm a guy who has long been a fan of SUVs.   [WorldofLuxury]

  • 37

    Fan, The scene with the headlights on is nice, I like it too.   [Mametaro]

  • 36

    The streaming is also a bad response. It may be an international communication.   [Gui]

  • 35

    I want to have night-vision camera.   [Kitto]

  • 34

    LF-A is cool as was expected!   [Monkichi]

  • 33

    Only towing the car took 3 hours. This sounds impossible.   [Seven]

  • 32

    The sun is setting, is the night in Germany cold?   [Murche]

  • 31

    I expect Iida will do for the best result.   [Ouendan]

  • 30

    Felippe Masso, is it? I hope the night game on the south course.   [Utsumi]

  • 29

    The official live site is like a picture book.   [AP1]

  • 28

    It certainly is getting dark.   [Chiki]

  • 27

    Go Javier.......   [Danilo]

  • 26

    When it becomes dark it will be difficult to distinguish which is which   [Seven]

  • 25

    Welcome back, Car 15!   [hatch_potch]

  • 24

    Are they going to repair #15 at the side of the track and then drive it to the pit?   [Murcie]

  • 23

    It's getting dark since head lights are getting noticeable.   [Utsumi]

  • 22

    The official live is interviewing.   [AP1]

  • 21

    What kind of trouble did Car 15 meet? I want to know.   [AkunoOL]

  • 20

    I feel some kind of nostalgiy when I see the pic of Car 15.   [Fukku]

  • 19

    I tried to access to the official site, but I can't.   [jyai]

  • 18

    Driving at night is danger, but the running scene with the headlights on is great!   [Fan]

  • 17

    This is such a tough race since there's a big hight difference.   [Mametaro]

  • 16

    Andre's face looking at #15 is attractive!   [Hiroshi]

  • 15

  • 66

    Not many Italian cars participated in this Nurburgring race. It is no surprise because the race is held in Germay.   [Felipe Masso]

  • 65

    Katsumata continues?   [Shisoume]

  • 64

    Everyone, stay calm! We have to be united to support them!   [Fan]

  • 63

    I must have misunderstood the article about "straight 6 being very rare now that most of the 6 cylinders have become V-type". Sorry for the wrong info.   [Murcie]

  • 62

    Chiki-san> Thank you!   [Terao]

  • 61

    Chiki-san>I hope the race is held in Japan, like Tokachi.   [Seven]

  • 59

    Kit> Probably.   [Seven]

  • 58

    It's great that drivers also fix the car!   [Putaro]

  • 57

    I'm talking about Italian cars. Not ITASHA.   [Felipe Masso]

  • 56

    Hello! Negi bucho!   [AP1]

  • 55

    Is #15 okay?   [Desumo]

  • 54

    #15 can come back?   [Hiroshi]

  • 53

    We don't have much information, so it is understandable that people are asking for more information repeatedly.   [Chiki]

  • 52

    Katsumata is tough. But don't work too hard.   [Hiroshi]

  • 51

    Driver Katsumata, hold on!   [Mametaro]

    I guess the only way to fix it is by tape.   [Kit]

  • 34

    Aku no OL>You should let us know on this in the report.   [Terao]

  • 33

    In the course safely. I'm relieved.   [Pikoro]

  • 32

    Go Iida!!   [Mametaro]

  • 30

    Shisoume-san>So is it around 155 or 156? If so, I agree with you. I wish Japnese cars have that kind of sound.   [jyai]

  • 22

    So driver Naruse was maintaining?? Go driver Iida!   [Elmo]

  • 21

    Why don't you calculate the time gaps yourselves instead of asking for them all the time?   [AkunoOL]

  • 20

    Wow, cup noodles and salad looks good! I'm a bit worrid about the weather..   [Sena]

  • 19

    Real "automotive seasoning" by Naruse!!!   [Chikuwarocket]
