The Nuerburgring, a traditional race circuit in the German Eifel region is not only considered to be the most beautiful but also the toughest race track in the world: Invisible curves, blind hilltops and the notorious weather capers in the Eifel make the 25.378 kilometres long combination of Nürburgring-Nordschleife and Grand Prix circuit probably the biggest challenge in international motorsport. This applies especially to the ADAC Total 24h race. The race does not only challenge drivers and teams. The highest demands are placed on the materials. Motul, the France-based global lubricants manufacturer supports the team with oil specialists and long-lasting, thousand-fold race-proven lubricants. Giti Tire Motorsport by WS Racing starts in the SP 3T class. The all-female team has been attracting attention in the Nürburgring Long Distance Championship VLN since the start of the season. They have already proven that they are serious competitors at the first VLN race of the season, where they finished second. "Within just a few weeks, we managed to grow into a well-functioning team," says team manager Nicole Willems.
