24 Hours of Nurburgring Nordschleife 2008
Thursday, April 3, 2008
I will be doing my 3rd consecutive ADAC-Zurich 24 Hours of Nurburgring Nordschleife driving a Porsche 996 GT3 RS with a Porsche Motorsport 3,9 litre engine, normally aspirated producing 520hp. This is the engine spec that two of the podium teams ran last year (Manthey Racing and Land Motorsport). The engine will give some extra push up the hills compared to last year's 454hp. I know the 77 bends and blind crests like my own pocket, can't wait to get back there.

This year's race will be held on May 24-25. The average number of spectators last three years are over 200.000, it's always a wild party going all around the track, all weekend, starting already the Wednesday before the race. It's like nothing else. Will you be there?

More info to come soon. Cheers!
