    As long as it is a vehicle, even a light car and minivan are ok, although that depends on circuits.   [yu]

  • 227

    There must be an overwhelming air of excitement over there, coz as many times as many people are watching there..   [Tekeo]

  • 226

    Midori-san, party is on in Nur 24 hour race every year.   [yu]

  • 225

    I made a mistake of the name of Wakisaka-san, too.   [Gampi]

  • 224

    It is nice to watch the race over a drink. But I am sure I will fall asleep if I start to have a drink now.   [Midori]

  • 202

    Thank you, yu-san! I leaned one more thing from you!   [Mika k]

  • 201

    Since there are lots of cars entered and some cars drive slow, it would be a tough race.   [Na-chan]

  • 200

    The official ranking is finally OUT.   [Yapon]

  • 199

    I wonder if the pit lane will be crowded?   [Midori]

  • 198

    It would be nice if the coach will drive first. He is on very good condition.   [king]

  • 197

    Anyone explain what is dummygrid, please.   [Ganpi]

  • 196

    Will the ranking come out soon.   [Robita]

  • 195

    Ah, it's summer time.   [Famima]

  • 194

    The road is very narrow. It would be hard to pass through the car that runs slowly.   [Azarashi]

  • 193

    This picture makes me to bow...   [Suko]

  • 192

    It's about a time to start making fire for barbecue.   [Hima]

  • 191

    I couldn't see pictures on the upper and lower left. Anyone has same problem?   [Midori]

  • 190

    Good job, Wakisaka.   [Yapon]

  • 189

    It would be great if portable devices like ipad could work smoothly.   [Robita]

  • 188

    It's summer time in Europe.   [Suko]

  • 187

    I watched video, and now I'm back.   [Hajime]

  • 186

    Wakisaka in Germany is cool!!   [12]

  • 185

    Kinoshita seems a funny guy, on the other hand, he has a cool side. That is very attractive.   [Suko]

  • 184

    Sure, I will cheer up!   [Katsuo]

  • 183

    Nice to see the interview on video.   [Na-chan]

  • 182

    Gosh! I got a phone call and missed the most important scene.   [12]

  • 181

    I also sit at PC. It is the easiest.   [Oolong-hi]

  • 180

    I have to check the video on the interview!   [shio]

  • 179

    What do you want to know about tires, Patrash-san?   [yu]

  • 178

    We can see their interview on video. I will go to see there.   [Midori]

  • 177

    My PC works so late.   [Suko]

  • 176

    What is Dummy Grid??   [Hananoko]

  • 175

    It's so jammed with audience and vehicles.   [Tekeo]

  • 174

    Seems that Nurburgring isn't hot like Japan since everyone wears long sleeve shirts.   [Bia]

  • 173

    Is there any attraction for visitors in Nur, like pitwalk.   [tanachu]

  • 172

    Last year's coloring was Kabuki. What about this year.   [yu]

  • 171

    PIT is packed. What will happen if several cars in same garage will pit in at the same time?   [ru]

  • 170

    So may cars and visitors there.   [shio]

  • 169

    I wish I would be there...I would hinder...   [12]

  • 168

    Seriously so many people and cars. It must be tough.   [Nacchan]

  • 167

    Number of pit crews must be a lot.   [Midori]

  • 166

    Crowded like beaches in summer   [Suko]

  • 165

    The car would look great in GT500.   [teamFORMULA]

  • 164

    I am waiting for the rankings to be uploaded.   [Karubi]

  • 163

    It is hard work to post the circuit live report. Thank you for your job.   [Midori]

  • 162

    I see. This is because it gets foggy and humid at night.   [yu]

  • 161

    It is a duct behind the rear tire.   [yu]

  • 160

    It was so fun and time passed so quickly.   [Katsuo]

  • 159

    Try your best for the final, mechanics.   [nao]

  • 158

    I have got my nose broken and have to stay at home today. I look forward to the 24 hour race.   [Futago]

  • 157

    It takes some time to tally up time for as many as 200 cars.   [Tekeo]

  • 156

    Vehicles with fog lamps are surely for endurance races.   [Tanachu]

    He looks great in a helmet, too.   [haru]

  • 139

    The time is satisfying.   [Kabu]

  • 138

    What is an absorber?   [haru]

  • 128

    I'd love to go to Nurburgring. There are many attractions in there.   [Midori]

  • 127

    Beer in Nurburgring. Beer at home. Either is nice..   [Midori]

  • 124

    >yu san, a little jargon creates atmosphere, doesn't it? I'm not familiar with them, either, though.   [carubi]

  • 123

    How helpful the jargon with interpretations.   [Suko]

  • 122

    Nacchan, I wanna go Nurburgring, too!   [Sally]

  • 121

    >Bia san, I can't resist watching the race over German beer.   [Ya-pon]

  • 120

    It's surprising that a stock car is a Brembo. Expensive.   [Midori]

  • 119

    The BMW in the same class as CT is 325i?   [Nacchan]

  • 118

    I'm watching the race over beer at home.   [Suko]

  • 117

    It must be chaos in the pit. Good luck.   [Midori]

    Pit in! They are tuning parts.   [nao]

  • 108

    I didn't know that the race is so dangerous that drivers have died on.   [BBQ]

  • 107

    Wakisaka has tweeted about Nurburgring.   [Hananoko]

  • 106

    There are uncountable number of drivers who were killed here, I remember.   [yu]

  • 105

    I like Nurburgring as different class cars are mixed!   [Tanachu]

  • 104

    How about GT-R?   [Hajime]

  • 103

    The race wouldn't be taking place if so many really died, I suppose?   [Tekeo]

  • 102

    The present standings are, overall position 17th:No,123 8:36:939 overall position:No.119 8:41:028   [ru]

    Good job, Sato.   [Hima]

  • 92

    Are the tyres durable because there isn't any unwasted motion in their driving?   [Shio]

  • 91

    Focus, focus, focus.   [Shuchu, shuchu, shuchu]

  • 90

    I'm so excited. So may cars. Chasing each other back and forth. I'm thrilled with the race.   [Midori]

  • 89

    I believe that 8 min 51 sec he made in 2009 was close to his best lap time.   [yos]

  • 88

    Tanachu-san, I didn't know that. But I see now. He's been participating here since I was 5 years old...   [Ishiguro]
