Just in time for the start of the 2012 season, the VL endurance racing championship Nürburgring goes for the most important social networks in the internet. In addition to the official website www.nuerburgring-langstrecken-serie.de, the fans of this most popular club racing series in Europe will from now on have the possibility to get also informed through Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. “It was high time for us to demonstrate a more open view to modern media”, said Karl Mauer, VLN Board for Marketing and Media. “With these new channels, we will have the possibility to address our fans directly and to provide them with a lot of important information all around their favourite series.”
The focus of this interaction is placed upon Facebook. All news will be made available here by the VLN and the fans are invited to comment facts and to share the information with their friends. The fans themselves can however also contribute with facts, whether those are personal impressions or the most exciting pictures from the race track – the Facebook pin board is open to almost everything. In Germany, it is in particular Twitter which has become a channel for the quick distribution of news. In future, VLN will supply many interesting facts through Twitter. The fans will furthermore have the possibility to distribute information from the official website to their own groups of friends. During the races, the most important facts from the VLN live ticker under vln.de will in parallel be published in Twitter. The video sharing website YouTube completes the VLN online services. More than 40 video clips from the last years can already be downloaded. Many interesting contributions will be added during the season as soon as available after the races.
The VLN endurance racing championship Nürburgring will start into the new season on 24th March with the VLN test and set-up session and the first race will take place one week later on 31st March.
