2010 N24 Australian update - hour 24
May 16th, 2010 Posted in 24 hour race, Australia
Another Nürburgring 24 hour race has been run and won. To see how the Aussies and Kiwis at the race finished up just check the list below.
Congratulations to the Honda Civics from New Zealand who ran a strong race to take out first and second in the N2 class.
There was an Aussie in the top 10 with Rodney Forbes and his team finishing tenth in their Porsche GT3 Cup car. Australian Nürburgring stalwart Mal Rose had a solid day in unfamiliar surrounds, at the wheel of a Subaru Impreza STI, finishing the race in the top 40.
Well done and big respect to all the teams and drivers who have made the long trek from the southern hemisphere to Germany. AUSringers wishes you all a safe and peaceful journey home where you can take a well earned rest.
UPDATE 23 May: I had misread the car number for the Barton Mawer entry. Unfortunately it turns out his car suffered accident damage early in the race and retired after 20 laps.

What about Allan in the Ferrari. Ok he was born in Denmark but was racing under the Aussie flag! Must be the first time an “Aussie” has been on the podium

Yeah, definitely a strong Aussie connection there, I have some mates who have received driving instruction from him in Melbourne and Sydney. But from the research I did it seems he usually races with a Danish flag. Maybe he has been naturalised recently?
