Subaru Launch Control has provided a great cinematographic overview of GRC, as well as, an 24 hour endurance race held at the world renown track, the Nurburgring. It gives the viewer first hand experiences of what the pit crews and drivers must both do to stay in the race.
Two very different races are shown in this episode. In WRC, the proximity of competing drivers during the race leaves very little room for error. Vehicle contact can mean an early retirement from the race and can happen for a number of reasons. The 24 hour endurance race is just that. It spans a full day. Drivers are rotated at specific intervals during pit stops. Look for another upcoming article from us on the endurance race soon.
