FIA GT1 World Championship
Nürburgring
27th – 29th August, 2010

Last weekend the sixth FIA GT1 World Championship race took place at the Nürburgring in Germany. In the previous weeks Swiss Racing Team had continued to work hard to make both NISSAN GT-R’s competitive in order to finally get ahead. The weather conditions at the track were hard and unpredictable for both teams and pilots.
In Q1 Seiji Ara (JPN) did not manage to place his car (#4) in the Top16 to qualify for Q2. The Japanese pilot placed in P17 with three tenth behind, even though he was the second fastest driver in the field, with an average speed of 156 miles/h (251 km/h). Therefore, his partner, Max Nilsson (SWE), did not get a chance to compete.
In Q1, the NISSAN GT-R with starting number 3 was piloted by Karl Wendlinger (AUT) who finished his stint in P9. His partner, Henri Moser (CHE), took over for Q2. Unfortunately, finishing in P14 he did not qualify for Q3 for the last eight cars. Unfortunately, race management revised Wendlinger’s result and he was moved back three places for the qualifying race. According to the race stewards the Austrian pilot crossed a continuous line with all four wheels in the fourth turn.
