The mere fact of crossing the finish line is like a win in this kind of races, where a lot of more key elements take part compared to a “sprint race”. First of all, the set up of the car. It must be well balanced and equally comfortable for all the drivers who are driving the car, and fast as well, for one of the most famous and iconic tracks of the world. The length and the characteristics of the Nürburgring, having plenty of high and low speed corners, countless slopes and large straights where the top speed will make the difference, will force the drivers to an exhaustive training in order to dominate the car over the more than 20km of length the track has.
