The fifth round of the VLN to follow live video

Only contested on the formidable Nordschleife at the Nürburgring (Germany), the VLN is in its fifth round of the 2018 season. The race will be one to follow from noon French time, and will end at around 18 p.m.

The best qualifying time was achieved by the Mercedes-AMG GT3 of the Black Falcon with the Haupt-Christodoulou-Metzger-Piana crew in 7'55''723.

Porsche has dispatched its new 911 GT3 R for the occasion, adorned with a camouflage dress and managed by the Manthey team. Frédéric Makowiecki will spearhead the team and will accompany Marco Seefried and Lars Kern and will start from ninth place.

Among the guests to watch out for is a surprising duo Hag-Bellof on a BMW M235i. It is not Sebastian, but his younger brother Fabian (19 years old) who will share the wheel with Georg Bellof, the brother of the late Stefan Bellof, former record holder for the “Green Hell” lap with a Porsche 956 C.

As a bonus, eight channels offer on-board cameras inside different cars: Mercedes-AMG GT4 from the Black Falcon, Porsche 911 GT3 Cup from the Black Falcon, Porsche 911 GT3 R from GetSpeed Performance, Porsche Cayman GT4 from GetSpeed Performance, Porsche 911 GT3 Cup from GetSpeed Performance, Porsche Cayman GT4 from Teichmann Racing, KTM X-Bow GT4 from Teichmann Racing, BMW M6 GT3 from Rowe Racing.
