Blancpain GT World Challenge Europe - Preview Round 4, Nürburgring
This weekend BLACK FALCON enters the final third of the Blancpain GT Series season with a Mercedes-AMG GT3 at the eighth race weekend of the year. The event at the Nürburgring is the fourth and penultimate race weekend of the Blancpain GT World Challenge Europe. As usual, Maro Engel (DE) and Luca Stolz (DE) will be racing the Mercedes-AMG GT3 with number 4 at the BLACK FALCON home race. The two GT pros will compete on the 5.137 km long version of the Nürburgring featuring the Grand Prix circuit with motorcycle chicane in a field of 28 GT3 vehicles with a high number and quality of entrants. Together with BLACK FALCON, they are currently leading the championship tables in the driver and team classification of the Sprint classification, as well as the driver classification of the overall championship including the Sprint and Endurance Cup. With two good results, the team could also take the lead in the team classification of the overall championship.
During all race weekends of the Blancpain GT World Challenge there are two sprint races over the distance of one hour each. Prior to this, two 20-minute qualifying sessions, one for each driver, decide on the starting positions for races 1 and 2. During the races, a 10-minute time window opens at halftime for a mandatory pit stop including driver change. The results of the races, together with those of the Endurance Cup, are included in the Blancpain GT Series overall standings to determine an overall champion from sprint and endurance races.
