A marshal has reportedly suffered injuries after a “physical altercation” with protestors ahead of Sunday’s DTM race at the Norisring ⬇️
Despite the presence of police forces, four activists from ‘Extinction Rebellion Racing’ and ‘Last Generation’ managed to gain access to the opening turn of the track prior to the second race of the weekend.
The activists are understood to have climbed over a safety fence into an area adjacent to the track at 1:15pm, about 15 minutes prior to the start of the race, before storming onto the racetrack in orange safety vests and placards. The organisers and the police had been expecting a “peaceful protest”, with a bicycle demonstration having been announced for Sunday."You can definitely have a different opinion on some things, but for me, it is more than questionable whether you have to express it in this way," ADAC motorsport boss Thomas Voss told German broadcaster ran.de. "We were prepared, of course, because something had been announced beforehand.
Unlike the Formula E race in Berlin or last year’s British Grand Prix, there was no immediate danger as the protests took place 10 minutes before the start of the race.
