Knapp drei Wochen vor dem ADAC Zurich 24h-Rennen trafen sich Fahrer und Organisatoren bei einer Pressekonferenz in Köln, um einen Ausblick auf das Rennen zu geben. Mit Dirk Werner (Schubert-BMW), Christopher Mies (C.-Abt-Audi) und Lance David Arnold (Black-Falcon-Mercedes) gab es dabei die Einschätzung von drei der Top-Favoriten auf den Gesamtsieg. Für das große Lager der Privatfahrer, die traditionell das Salz in der Suppe des Langstreckenklassikers sind, sprach Volker Strycek: Der Motorsport-Altstar wird unter anderem wieder in dem bei den Fans äußerst beliebten Manta antreten.
