ComToYou Racing at Nürburg to defend endurance lead
Teams with 50 cars are heading to the Nürburgring for the third round of the Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe Powered By AWS Endurance Cup. We are just 1 point from mid-season as a maximum 76 points have already been allocated to the winners (26 at Imola, 2 times 12 for the 6 and 12 marks, 26 for the 24 Hours of Spa). A maximum of 78 points can still be won: 1 for qualifying winner and 25 for the race winner at Nürburgring, Monza and Jedda. After Qualifying Sunday morning we’ll be at the mid-season mark.
