Konrad Lamborghini Quickest in First N24 Track Session

Mapelli almost four seconds clear in 90-minute qualifying practice for Nürburgring 24h

Marco Mapelli set the fastest lap in the opening qualifying practice session for the Nürburgring 24, leading the way in Konrad Motorsport’s Lamborghini Huracan GT3 Evo.

Mapelli posted a time of 8:11.428 which put the Lamborghini factory driver just under four seconds clear of Frank Stippler in the No. 5 Phoenix Racing Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo.

Third-quickest in the 90-minute session, which was held in dry conditions, was the No. 4 Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo of Haupt Racing Team with Maro Engel at the wheel.

Engel produced a time of 8:17:523 that was only seven-tenths quicker than the fourth-placed KCMG Porsche 911 GT3 R driven by Dennis Olsen.

Audi Sport R8s came through in fifth and sixth, with Frederic Vervisch completing the top five in the Phoenix factory-supported car and Christopher Haase slotting in behind.

A total of 93 cars took to the track, while there were a couple of incidents including a spin into the gravel for the No. 7 Car Collection Audi of Mike David Ortmann and a smokey incident that forced the Ford Mustang racing in the AT class to pull over on the GP Strecke.

Next up is a three-hour qualifying practice session starting at 8:30 p.m. CEST (2:30 p.m. EST).

Frijns forced to withdraw from Nurburgring 24 with 'flu-like infection'

Audi driver Robin Frijns has been forced to withdraw from this weekend's Nurburgring 24 Hours due to what the German manufacturer has called a 'flu-like infection'.

It is not a Covid scare by all accounts....he was tested not sure when, for COVID-19, and returned a negative result.
The news comes after Porsche withdrew its Manthey Racing-run #911 car and a number of drivers that competed at Le Mans after positive COVID-19 tests were recorded. Manthey ran the two factory Porsche 911 RSR-19s in the GTE Pro class at the LM24.

A statement released late on Monday evening by Manthey said "nobody [within Porsche] who was on site at Le Mans will take part at the Nurburgring", making it impossible for the team to field its usual 'Grello' 911 GT3 R in the the German endurance classic.
Two-car customer teams KCMG, Frikadelli Motorsport and Falken Motorsport are also affected by Porsche's decision to pull its drivers that raced at Le Mans.

KCMG, which switched from Nissan to Porsche machinery this year, will be without Richard Lietz, Romain Dumas and Patrick Pilet. Meanwhile, Frikadelli loses Michael Christensen, Kevin Estre and Campbell (who was set for double duty with Manthey) and Falken will have to make do without Thomas Preining and Matteo Cairoli.

Huber Motorsport, which is running a single 911 GT3 R, is not affected.

I'm watching the race at Zandvoort instead. The circuit looks a bit crazy, can't believe F1 cars are meant to be racing there.
