Overview
- Stewards removed Timo Glock from the race and revoked his Nordschleife DPN licence after recording him at 112 kph in a 60 kph Code 60 zone.
- The ruling added two penalty points to the two he earned at the 24h Qualifiers, and the four-point total triggered automatic disqualification and licence withdrawal.
- The #69 Dorr Motorsport McLaren continues with Ben Dorr, Timo Scheider, and Marvin Kirchhofer, though it carries an 82-second penalty plus an earlier 33-second pit-stop breach and faces a further Code 60 investigation.
- Glock later accepted blame for the infraction, saying he accelerated about 100 meters too early and missed a marshal post in the Metzgesfeld section.
- Code 60 slow zones replace a safety car on the 25.4 km Nordschleife by capping speed first to 120 kph then 60 kph to protect recovery crews, and breaches are treated as serious safety violations.
