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 driving permit revoked after stewards found he breached a Code 60 speed restriction, driving 112 km/h in a 60 km/h zone. The punishment included an immediate race disqualification and the loss of his DMSB Nordschleife license, with Glock required to reapply and retake the licensing prerequisites to be eligible for future events. This development was reported around May 16–17, 2026, by multiple outlets.[1][6][9]
Context and key points
- Incident: Glock exceeded the Code 60 limit during the night stint, clocked at 112 km/h, far above the allowed speed in the controlled zone.[1]
- Consequences: Immediate disqualification from the Nürburgring 24 Hours and revocation of his Nordschleife driving permit; he also accumulated penalty points that triggered the license removal.[6][1]
- Aftermath: Glock must apply for reinstatement and complete any required requalification to race again at the Nordschleife. His teammates on the Dörr Motorsport McLaren (#69) continued in the race without him.[6][1]
What this means for Glock and the race
- Glock no longer competes in the Nürburgring Nordschleife events until he regains licensing privileges, which could affect his future participation at the track.[6]
- The incident underscores the strict enforcement of Code 60 regulations at the Nordschleife, where speed breaches during slow zones carry severe penalties.[9][1]
