German Monaco a challenge for the Formula 3 Euro Series drivers

Track length: 2.3 kilometres

Lap record: 0:49.035 min / Adrian Sutil 2005

Distance: 48 laps

Winners 2007: Romain Grosjean / Nico Hülkenberg

This weekend, the Formula 3 Euro Series drivers will have to prove their skills on Nuremberg’s Norisring, representing the second season highlight following the event held on Pau’s tight street circuit. Because of its special atmosphere and the location next to the ‘Dutzendteich’, the 2.3-kilometre Norisring also is called "The German Monaco".

Italy’s Edoardo Mortara (Signature-Plus) will travel to Nuremberg as championship leader, with rookie Mika Mäki (Mücke Motorsport) from Finland and the Netherlands’ Renger van der Zande (Prema Powerteam) following close behind.

For Mortara, the season so far ran really well. In five of the six races contested to date, the young man from Geneva made it to the podium. In France, he secured his first win of the season, thus giving Volkswagen their maiden Formula 3 Euro Series win at the same time.

While all the other five wins were clinched with Mercedes-Benz power. Mika Mäki, runner-up in the championship and leader in the rookie ranking, is the only driver who succeeded celebrating two race wins, this season. And the Norisring suits the Finn particularly well: to date, the Finn contested for car races in Nuremberg and claimed victory in three of these races.

Following a one-race weekend break, rookie Stefano Coletti (Prema Powerteam) also is back on the Formula 3 Euro Series grid. The Monegasque replaces previous Prema Powerteam driver Charlie Kimball (USDA) who unexpectedly lost a sponsor.

Nico Hülkenberg (ART Grand Prix): "The Norisring always suited me well. No other track on our calendar offers as good overtaking opportunities as this circuit. Furthermore, the atmosphere in the paddock erected next to the Dutzendteich is unique.

It’s my goal to keep my error rate in the race as low as possible. In a perfect world, the result would be a race win but scoring as the highest possible number of points is far more important."

 

The Formula 3 Euro Series is covered live or re-live in 20 countries. Furthermore, Formula 3 Euro Series race résumés are broadcasted in numerous countries.
