Preview ISRTV Visits AdrenalinMotorsport For A Lap Of The Nordschleife! On Friday the 15th of July, I will visit the German AdrenalinMotorsport Racing Team and be taken on a racing lap of the Nordschleife endurance layout by VLN driver Robert van Husen!
I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to join the German VLN BMW racing team AdenalinMotorsport and their driver Robert van Husen at the Nurburgring this coming weekend. Robert and his co-drivers, Americans Jonathan Miller and Lance Bergstein, will be competing in the German VLN Endurance race on Saturday, the 16th of July. The race will be held on the combined Nurburgring GP and Nordschleife layouts to create probably one of the most awesome endurance circuits in the world!
Robert has graciously organised for me to accompany him on a racing lap of the entire endurance layout, which will be recorded on two separate cockpit mounted cameras. To say I am very excited is an understatement! The car I will be hitching a ride in is Robert’s race prepared VLN BMW M235i!
One of the main sponsors for the VLN series is the extremely popular Gran Turismo franchise from Polyphony, Kazunori Yamauchi is, himself a keen devotee of the Nordschliefe circuit and has driven there many times in the past.
