Former F1 driver loses licence after 'immediate DSQ' at Nürburgring
While Max Verstappen finished 38th at the Nordschleife, former F1 driver Timo Glock was stripped of his licence.
www.planetf1.comTimo Glock was disqualified from the Nürburgring 24 Hours after stewards revoked his Nordschleife DMSB license for a Code 60 speeding violation, leading to an immediate race DSQ and the loss of his DPN license. He was driving the Dörr Motorsport McLaren in the #69 lineup.
Key details
- Violation: clocked at 112 km/h in a Code 60 zone (60 km/h limit) during the Nürburgring 24 Hours race.
- Penalties: stop-and-go penalty of 82 seconds, two DMSB penalty points, bringing him to four total penalty points; immediate disqualification for the event and withdrawal of his Nordschleife license.
- Consequence: Glock was disqualified from the Nürburgring event, but the car could continue in the race with other drivers, while Glock could not compete further.
- Context: Glock’s disqualification followed earlier penalties at the 24h Qualifiers, which contributed to the total penalty points triggering license withdrawal.
