Sven Takes 148 at Nürburgring!
The first week of the series is always an intriguing one; how will the cars hold in an actual race? Is the overall balance really as good as it should be? We found out at one of the premier race tracks of the world: Nürburgring Grand Prix Circuit.
Qualifying at least raised a bit of suspicion that the Audi might not be ready yet, with the fastest Audi trailing 8 tenths behind on the BMW's and Toyota. Iivan004 (below) surprised with a second position in qualifying, guaranteeing a front row for Team Jake alongside Stephen_hill, without their team captain Offcorsa even making the top 10!
The races turned out slightly different, fortunately for the Audi minded folks, with the Audi drivers significantly improving. And because of a Dimavika and Stephen_hill collision in heat 2, Sven (below) even managed to get the Audi to two heat wins, taking the third heat in only the second lap with Thatdanield running wide.
Top performer of the day was definitely NRTH (below); not only did the Dutchman not end lower than his qualifying position in any heat, he finished only a point behind their designated pro driver Mr Chip!
Official series debuts this time for TheLightSniper (Audi below) and Evil Mattress (BMW below), who both already managed to get close or into the side by side action!
