Missing the official broadcast top-split by an agonizing 18 iRating points is the kind of heartbreak that makes you question your life choices at 2 AM. But in endurance racing, you don't have time to sulk. SRN Esports driver Matthew Meilleur alongside guest drivers Timothy Friis Larsen, Rui Teixtera, and Robert Sharpe strapped into our custom-liveried TCR and went to work on the Green Hell.
Twenty-four hours on the Nordschleife is unlike anything else in sim racing. Over 150 corners, blind crests in pitch darkness, and faster GT3 entries blitzing past your mirrors at a 50 km/h speed differential. One sloppy curb strike at Flugplatz and your weekend is parked in the barriers.
Eyeing The Broadcast Split Next Year
By the time the morning fog lifted over the Eifel mountains, the team had marched up the leaderboard, laying down lap times that proved we had outright top-split pace. The result showed exactly what grassroots sim racers can do with proper prep and team chemistry. We'll be back on the grid next year—and that top split is ours.
