Former F1 driver suffers Nurburgring 24 Hours disqualification as license stripped
Timo Glock was stripped of his Nordschleife license during the night from Saturday to Sunday. The former F1 driver committed a major violation.
racingnews365.comTimo Glock was disqualified from the Nürburgring 24 Hours after stewards revoked his Nordschleife licence following a speeding violation in a Code 60 zone, which also added penalty points to his DMSB record. He and his team were affected by the ruling, with Glock immediately disqualified and his Nordschleife permit withdrawn, pending reinstatement requirements.[1][6][9]
Key details
- Incident: Glock drove 112 km/h in a Code 60 zone during the Nürburgring 24 Hours, far above the 60 km/h limit.[6][1]
- Consequences: Immediate disqualification from the event and loss of the DMSB Nordschleife licence, due to accumulating penalty points (four total).[1][6]
- Aftermath: He must reapply for his Nordschleife licence and may need to retake required courses to be eligible for future Nordschleife races; teammates continued racing without Glock.[9][6]
What this means going forward
- Glock will need to complete reinstatement steps with the Nordschleife licensing authority before returning to Nordschleife events.[6]
- The incident underscores the strict enforcement of speed limits in Code 60 sections at the Nordschleife, with automatic licence-related penalties for repeated infractions.[9][1]
