The past race weekend offered many top rankings in racing achieved on Öhlins suspension.

In the qualifying race for the Nürburgring 24hrs, Hyundai Motorsport set a new lap record for TCR cars with Team Target Competition on their Hyundai i30N TCR. With 9:03:206 min, driver Andreas Gülden set the new best time and secured not only the lap record but also the pole position in his class for the team. Due to technical issues, the team finished the 6h race on an excellent 2nd place in the class ranking. In an thrilling race, #99 from Rowe Racing took second place and underlined this result with the fastest race lap of 8:18.141 min.
