Lure of the Ring - A new 24 hour race documentary
July 6th, 2010 Posted in 24 hour race, Australia
The team that brought us Mal’s big green hell was back at the Nürburgring 24 hour race this year and after the jump you can watch a teaser of what we can expect from their next doco. As you would expect the film will feature most of the Aussies who took part in the 2010 race.
Footage was captured from five different teams, including the Rimmer Motorsport Subaru of evergreen Ring racer Mal Rose; who can be seen above it is his teammate Peter Venn shown above gesticulating to a slower car. Other drivers included are Martin Bailey, Keen Booker, Stephen Borness, Richard Gartner, Rob Rubis, Ric Shaw, Paul Stubber and Ray Stubber.
Interestingly, most of those drivers got their first taste of the Ring at the wheel of Mal Rose’s Mirage Cup cars, which last appeared at the Ring in 2008.

Hi Liam
The driver at the start in this 3 minute “teaser” of Stuart doco is Peter Venn .
He was on his 1st lap of qualifying & as you see he is quite animated ( although a quite chap)
My hit with the Porsche is in the last few moments & lucky to survive
The race had 2 laps to go after 24hrs & the Manthey Porsche was 18th outright & we were 35th so it was not needed to be that aggresive.

Oops, sorry Mal! Yeah, that hit at the end looked a bit unnecessary.

Look forward to seeing the whole of that. Mal I have photos of the Subaru at this years event some good some not so good! I sent Wayne the ones of his. I was the guy last year on the track with the Aussie flag through Hatzenbach on the warmup and you gave me the big thumbs up. If you want the photos let me know.

Hi Mal, Great looking teaser. Love the night footage. Its so hard to explain to friends what its like racing there and this really goes a long way to capturing. That last sequence with Manthey Porsche is just outragous!!!
