NÜRBURG, Germany, Aug. 17 - S&S Power plans to build the fastest roller coaster in the world, the Racecoaster, on the grounds of the Nürburgring next year.
On Sunday Horag Racing experienced a wild ride of its own there in the 1000 Kilometers of Nürburgring, rising from sixth in the LMP2 class at the start to secure a strong hold on second place until the last 50 minutes of the five-hour Le Mans Series event. At that point the team experienced a rare mechanical problem with the car's brake reservoir and lost about 25 minutes to replace the part. The entry returned to finish the race, posting its fastest lap of the race in the process, but the delay caused it to plummet to 12th in class in the final rundown.
