The 2016 edition of the NitrOlymp’X came a mere three weeks after the German F1 Grand Prix, which in the past has proved to be a bit of a challenge given the hitherto overzealous scrubbing of the Rico Anthes Quartermile that sits alongside the circuit track. Thanks to the lessons learnt over recent years, there can be no doubt that the all asphalt track had been groomed almost to a state of perfection in the short period that the track crew had got their hands on it with some very impressive numbers put down during the course of what was a weather abbreviated weekend (Saturday’s qualifying being just about a total wipe out for the FIA and FIM-E professional classes).
