The City Course

The Nuernberg City Course was last year's location of the ITC, from which the DTM inherited this traditional event. Emanuele remembers the Norisring from his time at BMW when he steered the M3 during the DTM in 1992.

Season's Peak

The city streets with its long straights and tight turns require aggressive driving, says Emanuele Pirro. One has to be particularly tough when breaking for the famous "Spitzkehre". Good traction is critical for best acceleration out of the turns. It remains to be seen as to what extent the Quattro's 4 wheel advantage will compensate for the higher speeds of the 2-wheel drive cars during the long straights.
 

Average Course Layout

Emanuele does not consider the Norisring course layout very interesting. Rather, it is the ambience of the Norisring weekend that gives it a unique flair.
