Five Aston Martins back for ADAC GT4 Germany as the series visits Zandvoort this weekend #UPDATED
Wednesday, June 21, 2023
Having ran last time out at Oschersleben, the four Prosport Racing and this time solo crew from the Doer Motorsport team again competed within two highly dramatic one-hour sprint races that left for five DNF or DNS for the five Aston Martins across the two races but was highlighted by an overall win for reigning champions Hugo Sasse and Mike David Ortmann aboard the #1 Prosport car.
Apart from the race 1 / turn 1 incident for the #1 car, most of the issues were technical which saw the #7 Doer car of Ben Dorr and Theo Nouet fail to start race 2 at all with also a race 1 DNF for the late Prosport line up of Yevgen Sokolovskiy and Damon Surzyshyn.
Brother and sister pairing of Jessica and Andreas Bachman suffered the most with two technical related DNF’s across the opening weekend. The Prosport Racing issues were further compound by a road traffic accident with their transporter and the way back to base from Oschersleben that left their attending crew in hospital and all four cars damaged within.
Prior to last weekend’s NLS 4 race around the Nordschleife, the team did confirm that all four of their ADAC GT4 Germany stock completed a successful post incident shakedown test aided by Celia Martin who partners Fabienne Wohlwend aboard the #13 car.
Hopefully the characteristics of the twisting Dutch coastal circuit will benefit the Vantage GT4 this time around.
### UPDATE ###
Today (Thursday 22nd June) Prosport Racing have posted that drivers Ricardo van der Ende and Benjamin Lessennes will be racing their #19 car this weekend at Zandvoort instead of Jessica and Andreas Bachman.
