The BRC Hyundai N Squadra Corse is determined to maintain the positive momentum of the WTCR Race of France, during which it took its first victory of the season with Mikel Azcona and thanks to the scores achieved, it now occupies the second place in the team classification.
On the occasion of the Race of Germany, Azcona and his teammate Norbert Michelisz will fight to replicate the good results obtained with the Hyundai Elantra N TCR and to climb the top step of the podium at the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
The second round sees the team engaged in one of the most spectacular circuits on the WTCR calendar: the Nürburgring Nordschleife. It is a historic track that with its 25.378km is among the longest and most demanding of the championship.
The results obtained during the BRC Racing Team’s last presence at the Nürburgring last year did not reflect the team’s performance. On this new occasion, the team will always have to its advantage the experience of the two drivers on the circuit, a fundamental element to aspire to top results on this track.
The program will start this week with two free practice sessions on Thursday 26 May. The qualifications to define the grid for races 1 and 2 will take place on Friday 27 May; both races will count three laps and will be held on Saturday 28 May.
