Estamos com 17 horas de corrida, acabei agora o meu duplo turno matinal, foi uma verdadeira quali a atacar e tentar ganhar algum tempo aos dois primeiros e apesar de um furo (por sorte no último sector da pista) seguimos na luta pela vitória. Estamos em 3º e até ao fim vai ser uma guerra forte com a Audi! Faltam 7 horas, muita coisa pode acontecer... Volto a guiar ao meio dia 💪🏻 Livestream: nri.ng/24hlive

After 17 hours we are in the battle for the win with the Audis. Just finished my morning double stint and Lynn is driving now. We fight until the end 👊🏻💪🏻👊🏻 #BMWMPOWER #Nordschleife #AFC13

Foi pena. Estávamos em 3º na luta pela vitória mas tivemos de desistir devido a um acidente a 5 horas do fim. Quero agradecer o vosso apoio incrível e dizer-vos que foi talvez a maior experiência da minha vida. Obrigado aos meus colegas de equipa, foi para mim um grande prazer ter partilhado o nosso BMW com três grandes pilotos! Agora é seguir em frente e para o ano voltar em força 👊🏻👊🏻

What a shame. We were running 3rd for long time but unfortunately we had to retire 5h to go due to a contact with another car. Anyway, it was one of the coolest experiences of my life! Thanks to my 3 team mates, it has been an absolute pleasure to share the #43 with you guys. On to the next one 👊🏻👊🏻#BMWMPOWER

WTCC Nordschleife 

It´s coming this weekend. The most challenging and dangerous race of the world in the green hell! #tiagosworld18 #greenhell #nordschleife

Pois é, é já este fim de semana. A corrida mais desafiante e perigosa do mundo no Inferno Verde! #honda #thepowerofdreams

As corridas terão transmissão em directo no Eurosport no sábado pelas 10.15 e 11.15h.

Tiago Monteiro 18 “I couldn’t have asked for a better start to the season. The improvements made to the Honda during the winter have paid off at every circuit we’ve visited and we have a faster car that performs better with compensation weight than ever before. The Nurburgring has a series of unique challenges with lots of high-speed corners blending into one another, big kerbs and a very long straight to end the lap, so you need to have a car that’s strong in all areas if you’re going to do well.” - Castrol Honda WTCC   Norbert Michelisz 5 “I’ve had some bad luck in the past two rounds, but I know that this weekend is a big opportunity to get back into the battle for the Championship. The Nurburgring is an enormous challenge, but one the Honda should be suited to because of its excellent handling and improved straightline speed. Last year I finished on the podium twice, so it’s definitely possible to make up some positions from your starting place if your car is well set-up for race conditions.” - Castrol Honda WTCC   Ryo Michigami 34 “The Nurburgring is an incredible circuit – one of the most iconic in the world – and not like anything I’ve raced on before. Hundreds of thousands of fans visit this event every year so I’m expecting an incredible atmosphere and some great racing. I spent a couple of days there last week doing track days in a Honda Civic Type R road car, but with so many corners, it’s a big challenge to memorise the layout. The double finish in Hungary was a step in the right direction for me and the aim is to improve our pace in qualifying and the races.” - Honda Racing Team JAS

Free practice 1 flash! ⤵️
Michelisz Norbert went quickest in Free Practice 1 at FIA WTCC Race of Germany this evening, holding on during a dramatic moment near the end of the 60-minute session on the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife.

Michelisz’s 8m43.255s was 0.819s faster than testing pacesetter Rob Huff but the Honda Racing WTCC driver ended up parked on the side of the track with a reported front-right puncture, having narrowly avoided striking barriers when he briefly went off.

Nicky Catsburg topped Free Practice 2 at FIA WTCC Race of Germany on Friday morning, lapping underneath the qualifying record on the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife.

The Volvo Cyan Racing driver achieved an 8m34.813s at the end of the 60-minute session, going more than two seconds faster than Norbert Michelisz had managed just a short moment earlier. The Dutchman seemed to be pushing hard throughout, filling the front of his Volvo Polestar with grass after one off-track moment. His time bettered the 8m35.541s of champion José María López in qualifying last year.

Honda’s Michelisz, the pace-setter in Free Practice 1 on Thursday, was a similar gap in front of third-placed Citroën driver Rob Huff, who had sat quickest prior to the chequered flag.

Catsburg’s team-mate Thed Björk took fourth, while Nordschleife newcomer Esteban Guerrieri went fifth late on and was second to Huff in WTCC Trophy.

World Touring Car Championship leader Tiago Monteiro was sixth in front of Tom Chilton, Nestor Girolami, Tom Coronel and Mehdi Bennani.

Yann Ehrlacher returned to action following his heavy crash in Free Practice 1, after his RC Motorsport team worked overnight to repair the car to enable the young Frenchman to get some laps in before qualifying, which will start at 12h45 local time

Vou largar de 7º e 4º amanhã nas duas corridas aqui em Nordschleife🇩🇪Importante é estar fora das confusões e trazer bons pontos para o campeonato. Parabéns ao meu colega de equipa Norbi que fez a pole, grande trabalho! Corridas em directo amanhã no Eurosport a partir das 10:00 ✌🏻

P7 and P4 for tomorrow's races. We can fight from here. Important is to stay out of trouble and bring home good points for the championship. Well done to my team mate Norbert with a superb pole position! #tiagosworld18#nordschleife #honda #thepowerofdreams #hondafamily

 Tiago Monteiro

Honda claimed a second pole position of the 2017 FIA World Touring Car Championship season thanks to a sensational late effort from Norbert Michelisz at the legendary Nurburgring in Germany. The Hungarian, who began the day eighth in the Drivers’ Championship, had set top-two times in all of Thursday and Friday’s running ahead of qualifying, and then blasted around the 170-corner track, known as ‘Green Hell’ over half a second faster than anybody else in his Civic WTCC. It was Norbert’s first pole position of the year and the fourth of his WTCC career. His Castrol Honda World Touring Car Team-mate Tiago Monteiro, who leads the Drivers’ points standings, lapped at a similar pace to Michelisz throughout the session and looked set for an attempt at pole himself, only to suffer a damper issue on his final flying lap. The Portuguese driver qualified fourth for the Main Race, which ensures he starts seventh for the reversed-grid Opening Race on Saturday with Norbert 10th. Ryo Michigami, who is racing on the 15-mile Nordschleife for the first time this weekend, made strong progress throughout practice and qualifying. More than halving the gap to the pace-setters from Thursday onwards, the Japanese driver equalled his best starting spot of the season in 11th place and will start there in both races after an impressive effort. After qualifying, the fourth MAC3 session of the year took place with the Honda trio finishing second overall Sunday’s Opening Race takes place at 1120 with the Main Race at 1245.

Norbert Michelisz 5 “I’m super happy with the result today. It’s a great feeling to get my first pole as a factory Honda driver. Even from the first lap of practice this morning, I had a lot of confidence with the Civic. We’d been fast yesterday and it was really just a case of fine-tuning what we had and maximising the performance in this afternoon’s warm temperatures. To come to a track that shouldn’t, on paper, suit us, and then take pole is absolutely fantastic and I have to thank the team for their great work. Tomorrow the aim is to win the Main Race; nothing less.” - Castrol Honda WTCC   Tiago Monteiro 18 “Firstly a huge congratulations to Norbi, who has done a fantastic job all weekend and deserves his pole position. I’m pretty happy with my speed in qualifying. I wasn’t particularly confident with the way my car felt in practice, but the team worked hard to tweak the set-up and with new tyres we were very fast this afternoon. The fight for pole was very close between four of us, but I had a damper issue on my last lap which means I qualified fourth. I don’t have a target for the races, but if there’s a good chance for a win or a podium, I’ll be sure to take it.” - Castrol Honda WTCC   Ryo Michigami 34 “This weekend has been a big learning experience for me because this is such a difficult circuit not only to drive, but to get the set-up right for. I seem to be in the fight for P10 and the reversed-grid pole position almost every weekend and we’re not far away from breaking through, which would be a great result for the team. Today we were good enough for P11 and that puts me in a good position to fight for points tomorrow in both races.” - Honda Racing Team JAS   Alessandro Mariani Team Principal “I’m very pleased for Norbi and his engineers, who have worked very hard to regroup after Hungary and have been rewarded very well with Norbi’s first pole position for us in what was the most exciting qualifying session for a long time, in my opinion. He has a very good chance to win tomorrow. I believe Tiago could have joined him on the front row if he hadn’t had the damper issue on his last lap in qualifying, but again his engineers have worked very well to improve the speed of his car throughout the weekend. Ryo has also shown improved pace as well, which is very pleasing, considering he’s never raced here before.” - Castrol Honda WTCC   Ryuichi Furukawa Large Project Leader WTCC Development, Honda R&D “Today we’ve worked very hard and had a strong result with pole position for Norbi. I’m a little disappointed it wasn’t an all-Honda front row because I think without Tiago’s issue, I think it was possible. Ryo is also knocking on the door of the top 10, and if he can keep up his progress, we can start getting poles for the Opening Race as well as the Main Race. Tomorrow our aim is to win the Main Race and maximise the points possibilities in the Opening Race.”
