It was a tricky qualifying session for WestCoast Racing at Nürburgring for the two races in ADAC GT Masters. The track was soaked in rain during the two practice sessions in the morning but just in time for qualifying the rain stopped and the sun came out.

Martin Matzke qualified 20th for the Saturday race, a position he was not too happy with.
”The car was pretty good but we didn’t quite time it right. We set our best time a few laps too soon as it looked like the rain would come back. It didn’t and several cars could improve after us. I think we could have qualified in top 5 with some better timing. It’s difficult to start in the middle of the pack in the race but we have to do our best. The goal is to get in the points,” he said.

Fredrik Lestrup drove the second qualifying session determining the grid order for the Sunday race. He qualified 19th and said afterwards the pace just wasn’t there.
”It was a tricky qualifying for us. We have not tested here and with rain during practice but dry weather in qualifying it was very tricky for us. The balance wasn’t quite there and we have a lot to think about before the race. It’s our worse qualifying this season but we’ll try and turn it around and go for points in both races,” Fredrik said.

39 cars qualified for the two ADAC GT Masters races at Nürburgring which start at 12:30 on both Saturday and Sunday.
