Fabian Schiller, sponsored driver of the German Post Speed Academy, is going to start at his second racing weekend on a city track after only a four-day-break since his last race of the FIA Formula 3 European Championship. From June 26th – 28th the races 16, 17 and 18 on the shortest race track of the racing calendar are going to take place on the only 2,3 kilometer short Norisring in Nuremberg.
As opposed to the narrow and winding track in Pau, the long straight passages and the two hairpin bends are what’s characteristic for Nuremberg. The Norisring usually is one of the absolute season highlights. Far more than 100.000 viewers come to the “Franconian Monaco” every year.
Fabian Schiller: “Even though the track layout looks really simple due to only four real bends, the high speeds on the straight passages, the extreme braking zones and the wavy asphalt still cause highest requirements of drivers and cars. The Norisring is a very challenging race track and it’s not going to be easy to achieve a free lap during qualifying. Then again, qualifying is especially important on this track, which is why my team and I are going to pay special attention to this topic”, the sponsored driver of the ADAC North Rhine informed.

Race format & timetable
Basically, the racing weekend in Nuremberg follows the regular timetable and is going to start Friday morning with the free trainings. On Friday afternoon the two rounds of qualifying of the weekend are going to follow. The result of the first qualifying is going to set the starting positions for the first race while after the second qualifying, the fastest as well as second-fastest times of the drivers are going to be assessed in order to set the starting positions for the second and third races. The peculiarity in Pau is that the free trainings as well as qualifying are going to be split into two groups. This approach was deliberately chosen by the series organizers, to reduce the number of 35 drivers on the streets of the city track during these important trainings units. This serves the drivers’ security and additionally facilitates a fair qualifying without hindering each other. On Saturday the first two of the three races are going to take place. There is going to be one race in the morning and one in the afternoon. In the meantime the drivers can attend team meetings with their engineers as well as media events and autograph sessions. The final race of the weekend is then going to take place on late Sunday morning. The racing distance of each race is about 100km and lasts a maximum of 35 minutes. Championship points are going to be administered the same way as in the Formula 1: P1 = 25, P2 = 18, P3 = 15, P3 = 12, P4 = 10, P5 = 8, P6 = 6, P7 = 4, P8 = 2, P10 = 1.
