First Test on the Nordschleife

Mar.29, 2009

Yesterday I was driving our  new Porsche  997 GTR RSR.

It felt really good to be back in the car after such a long winter brake.

Apparently it was raining most of the day and I had only 2 laps under nearly dry conditions. Just some corners like Bergwerk and Brünchen were still wet. Fore that it was hard to test some things, because we would have needed dry conditions. Still we could improve and check little things like our radio, display settings, pedals and many more.

As well I could get again a feeling for our car. Every time you out of it for more than 2 month you need again a view laps finding the limit. Better now than next week when we have the first race. 😉

I am very happy how everything was going yesterday and I am confident that we are able to attack again and fight for some overall victories. But it will be very hard with Phoenix Racing, Land Motorsport and all the other teams trying to do the same. And of course not to forget that the RSR Porsche was downgraded quiet a lot to give the GT3 cars a better chance for winning as well. I just hope that they didn’t penalized us more than they should have?

After next week I am able to let you know more about that. But one thing is for sure and that I also support:

The more cars are able to win, the more fun we will have to fight for it and the more fun you will have out there following our races.

I am sure we will see really exciting races this year, no matter what….

Till than,

Marcel
