The two teams running the GT-R in the GT1 World Championship performed well last weekend in Portimão, but the teams won't be resting on their laurels. This weekend, the GT-Rs will head to Germany's Sachsenring in hopes of achieving more podium finishes.
JR Motorsports and Sumo Power GT are taking nothing for granted, despite finishing strongly in their previous race. While Sachsenring is a somewhat unknown and untested territory for both teams, their eight drivers remain confident in their abilities and their vehicles.
Sachsenring is one of the oldest circuits on the 2011 GT1 calendar. It is a mile shorter than the Portuguese track from last weekend, and is renowned for being tight and twisting in the beginning section. Cornering speeds are expected to be lower than the track at Portimão.
"Obviously I, and all the Nissan drivers, will be going to the Sachsenring full of confidence after the weekend we had in Portugal," said Michael Krumm, winner of the Portimão Championship Race in the no.23 JR Motorsports. "I last drove their in 1998, since when the circuit has changed – looking at the new layout it won't play to the GT-R's strengths as much as Portimão, but with a bit of luck I see absolutely no reason why we can't also do very well this weekend."
