Split qualifying sessions for this weekend's Norisring DTM round have been well received by the drivers ⬇️
The 1.429-mile street track is the shortest on the DTM calendar, with laptimes well under the 50-second marker, and it was anticipated that the 28-car field would find it difficult to get clear laps in the 20-minute qualifying sessions.
The fastest drivers in each group will share the front row, with the second-quickest drivers in each group sharing row two and so on. The three fastest qualifiers will score points 3-2-1. “Sometimes it’s even impossible depending on the situation, so I think in Norisring would have been a disaster. “I think it’s the right way to go with these two groups in qualifying to split it and obviously to try to avoid the traffic mess which would have happened with 28 cars on track.” “I think it’s a fair option and fair for everybody,” said the Winward Mercedes racer.
