One of the most famous race courses in the racing community, the course surrounds a little village called Nurburg and its’ historic ruins, hence the addition of “Ring”, resulting in the name “Nuburgring”. The Nurburgring race track is separated into two race courses.

The first part, Nordschleife, at 20.832 km, with 177 turns, with elevation levels varying within a range of 300 feet, the second being the F1 grand prix course, at 4.566 km. This time in this mountainous area, 6 drivers will compete in a race, running the full combined distance of 25.389km.

This year Renault automotive once again invites FRD Clio Cup China drivers to participate this June 22-25, in the Renault race festival. This time in addition to veteran drivers Kenneth Ma, Paul Poon, and Oliver Lee, there will be 3 new drivers, from China, Wu Chengwei and Huang Yi and from Singapore, Gerard Yap. Their new Clio race cars will arrive at the race course this week from France, while Kenneth Ma, Paul Poon, and Oliver Lee cars’ are already en-route from Hong Kong. Once the race is completed, all cars will be shipped back to China to continue racing in the Clio Cup China Series.

Last year Ken Ma announced he would be back to compete in Nurburging again the following year. So this year he and the accompanying 5 drivers, have come once again to compete. With the long and hilly roads this course has to offer, one can see the similarities and comparisons with the local racing culture. The 3 veteran drivers were asked what they expected from the race this year, and all replied that they wish to produce great results, improving their performances, and find personal challenges. They feel these are the things all professional drivers strive for.

Let’s all hope for the best positive results for these drivers.
