Driver Development Spring Season Finale - Norisring Mixed Class Event May 17

Since we are approaching summertime with all the family and outdoor activities that go along with the nice weather, we have decided to cancel the final DDP session scheduled for May 31. And we have changed the track for Tuesday May 17 to Norisring. This session will cover mixed-class racing so we wanted a track which was simple in layout and has relatively long straights along with both fast and slow corners to emphasize the performance differences between the GTC and LMPC cars. For our practice races Tuesday, we will divide the field between GTCs and LMPCs and drivers will switch cars for the second race so everybody gets practice with being in both slower and faster cars.

DDP events will resume in the early fall. Jim and I want to thank everyone who has joined us this season -- it has been our most successful ever and we hope that we've provided both knowledge and fun for everybody.

The Track


The Norisring is a street circuit in Nuremberg, on the former Nazi party rally grounds (in German: "Reichsparteitagsgelände") site of the NSDAP party conventions. As the city's German name Nürnberg would lead to confusion with the already famous Nürburgring, the old name Noris was chosen for the simple track which is nowadays approx. 2,300 metres (1.4 mi) long.

Things are always exciting at Norisring -- I think it provides the best race on the DTM schedule.
