After the Nürburgring race weekend Team Rosberg continues to fight for championship supremacy in the ADAC GT Masters. The French-Portuguese driver duo of Nicolas Armindo/César Campaniço in one of the two Team Rosberg Audi R8 LMS collected valuable championship points after finishing seventh and fifth in races nine and ten of Germany’s highest sportscar league. Since Armindo/Campaniço secured third on the grid in qualifying the starting position for the first of the two races in the Eifel looked very promising. During the mandatory pit stop, in which the drivers change, a mishap occurred: The team undercut the minimum pit stop duration of 70 seconds by two-tenths-of-a-second and collected a stop-and-go penalty. Rosberg Team Boss Arno Zensen: "We now have timers in the car – and then such a thing nevertheless happens. I was very annoyed by this as we dropped way down the order and lost important points because of the penalty.” Nevertheless, the number 16 Audi R8 LMS still finished seventh and scored two championship points for this. In the second race the duo, which has already scored three podium results in the ADAC GT Masters this year, started the race from eighth position. César Campaniço lost two places immediately after the start, made a driving error shortly after and dropped to eleventh place. Zensen: "Then as a team we made an incorrect decision after we called César in for the pit stop one lap too late. After the driver change Nicolas was held up by a slower competitor – otherwise a better result would have been possible. However, with fifth position and another four points it was a case of damage limitation.” With 43 points apiece Armindo and Campaniço lie within reach of overall ADAC GT Masters championship leader Christian Abt (56 points). As 40 points are still to be awarded in the remaining four races of the season the battle for the title is still very much undecided. The second Rosberg Audi R8 LMS finished 18th in both races at the Nürburgring with former Japanese Formula 1 driver Sakon Yamamoto and the Austrian gentleman driver Franz Binder at the wheel. Arno Zensen: "Unfortunately, we had problems with this car throughout the entire weekend. I think that it was an electronic problem. I was happy with the grid position of the two drivers, but not with the race rest.” Team Rosberg contests the penultimate ADAC GT Masters 2009 race weekend in four weeks on 19/20 September at the Sachsenring.
