Special return: Benjamin Mazatis wins on his race debut on the Nordschleife
- A class victory in the RCN at the Nürburgring premiere in a touring car.
- Next step on the legendary Nordschleife: planned starts in the top VLN series
An unforgettable feeling, winning on the Nordschleife – and that too in my very first race.
The Bruckmühl driver, together with teammate Uwe Ebertz, achieved victory in the BMW M235i Cup class as well as overall victory in the group classification of all represented cup classes. More than 160 racing cars of different categories started at the 7th round of the RCN Rundstrecken-Challenge. For Mazatis, his debut on the Nordschleife was only his third race in a BMW touring car. Previously, he raced in the ADAC Formula 4 on his path to becoming a professional racing driver.

Mazatis on the switch from Formula to Touring Car racing:
These are completely different racing cars and also conditions. On the Nordschleife, I was at the wheel for more than an hour; previously, it was always only races of 30 minutes. But that was no problem because I am in top physical condition. Thanks to my entire coaching team, who always fully support me. It was a great start in touring cars. The VLN will be a completely different challenge - but one I'm very happy to face!
