The Norisring is easily the most prestigious round on the DTM calendar, attracting tens of thousands of fans every year for some of the best action in all of German motorsport. At 1.429 miles, it is also the shortest track of the year, with the pole time expected to be well under the 50s bracket.
It is because of the nature of the track that the DTM has elected to split the qualifying into two parts, ensuring all 29 drivers can have a reasonable chance of setting a clean lap.
