Juha Miettinen died following a major crash during the Nurburgring Langstrecken-Serie (NLS) race in Germany on Saturday. The fatal incident occurred early in the race and involved seven vehicles, prompting officials to stop proceedings immediately.
A serious accident involving seven competitors occurred in the early stages of the race, and race control immediately halted the race to allow for extensive recovery and rescue operations.
Among the drivers was four-time Formula 1 winner Max Verstappen. He was, however, not injured.
Juha Miettinen's last Instagram post read: "Ready for the N24H Qually races. Two races in two days. The first one into the night. The second one way too early in the morning, just so you get a taste of that Nürburgring 24H race feeling..."
A minute’s silence will be held during Sunday’s grid formation in remembrance of the driver.
