00:00Hello, my name is Sebastian Goltz. I'm the project manager of the Porsche 911 GT3 R.

00:06At the moment, right here, we are at the Nordschleife. This is the Nürburgring Grand Prix circuit.

00:14This weekend, we have the ADAC qualifiers. The starting position at the 24-hour race

00:18can be really important. If you start at the end of the first grid at the 24-hour race,

00:24you are losing about one minute directly at the start phase. So it means everybody wants

00:28to be in front of the starting grid at the big 24-hour race. To be successful on that

00:32side, you need to push quite hard this weekend. You do not know, until every entry is done

00:38at the 24-hour race, if you are qualified or not. So it's quite a complicated system,

00:44I have to say. But the purpose of this is that everybody needs to push, because they

00:49do not know if they are qualified, and the organization has the possibility to judge

00:53the performance of the car and to adjust a little bit the BOP if needed.
