Nordschleife rookie relies on Nürburgring veteran
24 hours newcomer Artega-GT masters the "green hell" with BILSTEIN suspension
Successful debut: the Artega-GT took part in this year's 24 hours Nürburgring race – fitted with a BILSTEIN coilover suspension kit. For the Artega's debut in what is probably the toughest race in the world BILSTEIN collaborated with the Artega designers to adapt the suspension to the precise needs of the vehicle, which is very similar to the production version. The ContiForce team achieved an outstanding eleventh place in the closely fought SP7 class with its BILSTEIN B14-based coilover suspension kit and specially adapted Eibach springs – outshining even racing cars which had been specially designed for the Nordschleife in the shade. The four-man driver team headed by the experienced racing professional Uwe Nittel came 70th overall – an outstanding achievement for a new team.
The BILSTEIN coilover suspension kit and Eibach springs fitted in the street-legal Artega-GT enhance the aerodynamic characteristics of the racing car and ensure optimum road holding. The motor sports know-how which feeds into all BILSTEIN products benefits the professionals but also all other Artega drivers. Driving a production Artega-GT fitted with a suspension kit based on a BILSTEIN B14 is a special experience, too. BILSTEIN sports and coilover suspension kits are put through extensive tests on the Nordschleife and at BILSTEIN's own test center in Papenburg – guaranteeing the unique BILSTEIN driving experience.
