The super pole session ahead of the Nürburgring 24 Hours takes place this evening, with 30 cars released at 10-second intervals for an establishing lap, followed by two timed laps.

Qualification for that top 30, is somewhat complicated, combining qualifying results from the two VLN rounds so far this year, qualifying results from the N24 Qualifying Race and times set in the two qualifying sessions for the N24 so far yesterday and today.

The #100 Walkenhorst BMW M6 GT3 (below), damaged in Qualifying 2 after its shunt between Metzgesfeld and Kallenhard, has been withdrawn from the event, the team unable to repair the car, which sustained significant rear-end damage.

That allows the #19 Schubert BMW into the shootout – Jens Klingmann will drive.
