The season finale of the Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS), 45th Münsterland Cup, was not under a lucky star for the two Zimmermann Porsche Caymans.
The race day in the Eifel started late, as fog considerably impeded visibility. In bright sunshine, the practice session, which was shortened to 45 minutes, started at 11.15 am.
Both Zimmermann-Porsche immediately set best times in their classes. Then the bitter end. The Zimmermann-Porsche Cayman S (435) from the V6 class fell victim to a trace of operating fluid in the mirror bend. The Zimmermann-Porsche 718 Cayman S (474) from the VT3 class had contact with a guard rail after an evasive maneuver as a result of an overtaking maneuver at the Brünnchen exit.
