VLN N�rburgring endurance championship

This first racetrack appearance of the SLS AMG GT3 at the VLN event (VLN = Association of N�rburgring Endurance Cup Organisers, with 10 motorsport clubs) is a fixed part of the development and testing programme which commenced in June 2010. The four-hour race on the legendary �Nordschleife� (�North Loop�) of the N�rburgring will test the gullwing model under realistic racing conditions. The focus will not only be on fast lap times, but also on the durability of all components, service-friendliness and smooth procedures during pitstops and driver changes. During this race on the 20.8-kilometre long N�rburgring �Nordschleife� � which is acknowledged to be the world�s most demanding racetrack � the chosen suspension setup will be assessed under racing conditions for the first time.
