WTCRMa plots Nordschleife WTCR catch-up planAN HOUR AGO Comtoyou Team Audi Sport Team Manager François Verbist said: “We tested at the Nürburgring during the winter so we will apply what we did during the test in free practice to be as prepared as possible for qualifying and it’s great to provide viewers with this extra insight and information. “Free practice is all about preparing well the qualifying and the race strategy and we can be a bit more relaxed because we are only preparing, nothing is counting in terms of the times.” As well as the Comtoyou DHL Team Audi Sport entries of Nathanaël Berthon and Tom Coronel, Verbist works closely with his cousin, Elsa Verbist, on the management of the Comtoyou Team Audi Sport line-up of Mehdi Bennani and Gilles Magnus with all four drivers competing in Goodyear-equipped Audi RS 3 LMS race cars.
