Friday, 5.30 pm at the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring – that’s the moment of truth. That’s when the fastest teams on the Nordschleife fight for pole position in the race of the year. As usual, the individual time trial is split into two parts. In Top Qualifying 1, the teams that have not yet qualified fight for a place in the subsequent Top Qualifying 2 – only here will it be decided who will be on pole.
