Press Release 1st April 2009
“All I need to know is how much you charge for your services”. With our growing reputation and the many referrals Nurburgmotorsport receives from those “in the know” around the Nürburgring - this was all one new customer had to ask before he could fulfil his dream, which was:- To “Arrive and Race” in time for the new Nürburgring VLN endurance Race series starting in March 2009. With a recently imported American BMW M3 street car, now owned by two new Russian drivers from St Petersburg and Moscow, their requirement was to find a complete Racing solution. This included Race Car Safety design, Race Car preparation, Race Car storage & Serving together with Full Track Side Race Team Management, including all catering arrangements. The timetable was already set for the first of the season’s VLN Test day that same month. All the necessary intensive DMSB and VLN scrutineering procedures needed to be meet together with incorporating the newly announced FIA regulations. To add to the complication both the drivers also needed to pass the FIA International Driving Licence examination as well as undertake some Professional Driver training on Nürburgring - all within 3 weeks. As the car arrived at the Quiddlebach Headquarters two engineers were ready to completely strip the car as the final design features were still being discussed with the clients and the FIA. As winning VLN Racing Team Manger Manfred Scheer, a former mechanic on the Toyota World Rally Team, who also grew up at "The Ring" and who has worked as a Marshal on the Nurburgring for over 10 years, says “Organisation is everything.....normally we only have to be quick on the Ring” As part of the Racing package NurburgMotorsport will be offering an attractive sponsorship and advertising package open to both commercial and private sponsors. Owner Ken Harris says” Racing is all about Team work. This goes on before and after the chequered flag rises and falls on Race day. What my Team has proved is that we can adapt to the challenges and delivery our Racing solutions on time and to budget by way of offering more thrills and better value. We announced at a breakfast meeting last year to the very day that we shall be entering another Manfred Scheer prepared Race car for the VLN Series in 2009. This is what we have now achieved. My special thanks to all the Team and to our many suppliers, Racing Authorities (both German and Russian) and Government departments who all played their part in this success story. Also once again Happy Birthday to Pia Sheer from all the NurburgMotorsport Team.....sorry we were all at the Test today.
