Two Astons see out 2017 VLN Series

This weekend sees the ninth and final round of the 2017 VLN Series from the infamous Nordschleife circuit with another two runners form the Aston Martin stable seeing an otherwise successful year out.

The sole remaining full season Mathol Racing prepared Avia Racing AMR V8 Vantage GT4 entry will be back after their disappointing non finish last time out earlier this month with their #188 SP10 class car.


Thinking that they were the sole AMR/AML runner last time out, they will again joined by the Aston Martin Test Centre Vantage S entry for Heinz Jurgen Kroner and Wolfgang Schuhbauer in their golden #144 car.

On a whole the Green Hell has been good for Aston Martin with numerous class podia throughout the VLN series plus a class win for the AML entered Vantage GT8 in the ADAC N24 headline event back in May.

That previous VLN entry has skipped the last two rounds of the series as the team  prepare themselves for its first transatlantic crossing in readiness for the 24H Series event from CoTA early next month.
