Testing

The NR009 in interim colours in it's debut during pre-season testing.

All 3 Nordsjøen Drivers prefered not go for glory runs doin any of the 4 Pre-Season testing Venues.

They rather tried to gain Maximum R&D Points with the least amount of effort.

Sepang saw the test start in very early Hours at Sepang and thus both Drivers went around in very funny conditions.

dude where's my car?

2016 Season

The Season Opener saw David qualify P6 and Flo P9. David for most parts of the Race being held up, finally showed his true pace once in clean air. He narrowly missed out on P2 and showed that hes gonna be a force to be reckon with all year. Flo on the other hand didnt have a good Race and after a incident filled evening finished P18 1 lap down.

Round 2 at Bahrain. Lots of Qualifyng penalties applied from the previous Round saw Dave start P16 and Flo P5. Both had strong Race Pace and Dave managed to nearly Win, but a last second mistake cost him a 3rd Victory in a row at Bahrain. Flo had a quiet but efficent Race even leading his 1st laps in SL. Eventually finished just 12 seconds behind the Winner and 2 seconds behind P3.
