So this seems to confirm that RBR will be a high midfield or low front team. They are coming apart pretty badly.

Juha Miettinen was killed at the Nurburgring during an NLS event, part of the N24 qualifiers, in a seven car pileup. He was driving a BMW. They immediately red flagged the race (25 minutes into the race) to deal with the situation and then canceled the rest of the race. The other six drivers were checked out, some in the hospital, with no life threatening injuries. They will run tomorrow's four-hour race of the doubleheader weekend.

Looking at the photos it was a pretty ugly incident and a significant drivers side impact.

Here's the live coverage of the race from YouTube.

At around 50:00 you just suddenly see red flags come out and everyone confused for a minute.

Edit: Apparently one of the cars involved (the #992 Porsche) had a YouTube live feed has been unsurprisingly deleted.

Just bumping the '26 thread with this info.

I didn't realize I posted under the old thread. Thanks for doing this.

Video about the incident from Misha Charoudin.

For those of you who don't know, Misha is a Russian/Dutch YouTuber who lives near the Ring and makes a bunch of content at the Ring. He's also part of a team along with simracers Jimmy Broadbent and Steve Alvarez Brown (aka Super GT) that races in NLS and the 24 hours of the Nurburgring so his team was racing today. He did seem to confirm that the story about there being oil on the track was true. He also states that his car was one of the first people to the accident scene and render aid though he doesn't say who was driving.

From the Comments:

He isn't gone, he's just one lap ahead.

Some fantastic racing between Haase in an Audi and Max in an AMG at the Nürburgring yesterday. Max won the battle but his team lost the war, a front end problem that needed repairs dropped them from an almost sure P1 to 39th.
