Strategic decisions on and off the track

The performance of a racing team depends on smart strategic decisions. Tire selection, setup adjustments and race strategies are made in close cooperation with the crew chiefs and engineers. Jürgen Lingg always has to keep an eye on the big picture: How is the track behaving? What weather conditions can be expected? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the bike compared to the competition? Every decision can make the difference between a podium finish and a mediocre race result..

Communication and coordination

Another key area of responsibility for Jürgen Lingg is communication. He is the link between the drivers, the technical team, the sponsors and the organization of the racing series. Information must flow quickly and precisely in order to be able to react to unexpected situations. This coordination ensures that the team is optimally prepared and can make the best possible decisions at all times.
