Ex-F1 driver disqualified, loses licence, after Nurburgring 24 Hours ...
Timo Glock was caught doing almost double the permitted speed through a 60kph slow zone
www.crash.netTimo Glock was disqualified from the Nürburgring 24 Hours and had his Nordschleife license stripped after a Code 60 speed violation, with stewards citing a second offense and resulting in four DMSB penalty points. The incident occurred when Glock was recorded at 112 km/h in a 60 km/h Code 60 zone, leading to an 82-second stop-and-go penalty and the loss of his permit, triggering immediate disqualification from the event. Multiple outlets reported the same outcome, noting Glock must reapply for his Nordschleife license and may need to retake required training to regain eligibility for future races at the venue.[1][4][5]
