German filmmakers Stereoscreen returned to the Nürburgring in 2102 to follow the fortunes of the lead BMWs at the 24 hour race. Despite showing great pace the BMW Team Schubert Z4 GT3s couldn’t quite get the job done in 2012. A few mechanical gremlins put paid to that.
However, the men behind the cameras, Nick and Tim Hahne, have definitely succeeded in bringing us closer to the action. Theirs is a superb short film which starts early on the morning of the race and takes us right through until the chequered flag.
The speed, the action, the colour and the noises of the 24 hour race. All have been captured with great skill and honesty.
BMW Team Schubert say they will be back chasing their dreams in 2013. Let’s hope they bring the Hahnes along for the ride.
If you like what you see here, Australian readers should keep an eye out for Stereoscreen’s 2011 production 24hours. One Team. One target. A deal has been signed to broadcast the movie-length documentary on Fox Sports. We’ll update you with more detail when it comes to hand.

That was absolutely stunning… Thanks for the share…. It just makes me think how great it would be to be at the Nurburgring 24hrs… Theres a dream 🙂
Wow! That was unreal! Definitely on my to do list
so the bmw lost because it had to spend an hour off the road?
@beano 2 different cars had to spend 30mins off the road, thats why the lost with 2 different cars 🙂 Although it could be argued the #20 car wasn’t leading at the time when it dropped back, but to counter my own argument they were setting blistering lap times.
BMW will be back next year and will definitely be in contention again.
On the surface the two Team Schubert Z4s were clearly the fastest machines during the race. They still came home 7th and 8th. It could have been an awesome finish with the Audis if the BMWs were able to hang on.
