VLN returns to the Nordschleife
Thursday, June 23, 2016
Four weeks after the circuits headline ADAC Zurich 24h event, a very different looking grid of cars return to the Nordschleife circuit this weekend for the fourth round of the VLN Series.
Although supporting a very similar entry level of cars to that of the 24H, this weekends 150+ VLN entry will mainly be made up from the production based classes rather than the top end sports car classes, with that just two Aston Martin entries in the SP10 class (SRO's GT4 equivalent). They are the full season VLN entrants - Avia Racing and StadAvita Racing.
With both cars having entered last months 24H Avia Racing were forced to retire their car during the night due to accident damage but the StadAvita car did end the race as class winners.
Unfortunately, we will not be seeing the Aston Martin Vantage GT8 that dominated its class during the 24H before accident damage forced its retirement in Germany at least, but for those at Goodwood's Festival of Speed they shall see it there this weekend!!
