N\u00fcrburg.<\/strong> An unfortunate tire choice at the start of the race and two punctures in the further course of the race lost the team a better result. In its class (VT-2 FWD) the MINI John Cooper Works finished in 13th place out of 16 starters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n During the pit stop in the third lap the rain tires were swapped for slicks. In the fourth lap, Bulldog Racing’s MINI John Cooper Works pitted again with a flat front left tire. On the penultimate lap, the front right tire fell victim to a yet another puncture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In total, the team had to pit five times in the four hours of the race and completed a total of 21 laps. The MINI John Cooper Works of Bulldog Racing finished the second race of the season at the N\u00fcrburgring without an accident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sebastian Sauerbrei (GER) “Unfortunately we made the wrong tire choice at the beginning and started on rain tires. The predicted rain did not arrive at the track, so I came into the pits on the third lap to pick up the slicks.” That pit stop, along with a puncture on the fourth lap, caused Bulldog Racing’s MINI John Cooper Works to lose valuable time. Sebastian completed 15 laps, his fastest time was a 09:56.38. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Charlie Cooper (GBR) set his new best time on the MINI John Cooper Works with 10:33.30 on his seventh lap and did not suffer any punctures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The MINI John Cooper Works once again proves its reliability in the second race of the N\u00fcrburgring Endurance Series (NLS).
