Walkenhorst back on ADAC GT Masters duties - but with a twist this weekend
Thursday, July 11, 2024
Two of Walkenhorst Motorsport’s Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3’s will be back in action again this weekend around the Nurburgring as the ADAC GT Masters Series runs an anniversary special to mark its 250th race.
Usually running a two one-hour race format over the Saturday and Sunday of the race weekend, the series have tweaked the goal posts just a little this time around to see an eighty-minute race on Saturday before a forty-minute race on Sunday – so still the same track time as always!!
Race one will demand two driver changes, tyre change and refuel during one of them within the permitted timeframe whilst race two will require just one.
Both the #35 car of Chandler Hull and Nico Hantke as well as the #34 car of Denis Bulatov and Mike David Ortmann will be in attendance within (still) an undisclosed grid as the #34 looks to capitalise upon gains made during the last round from Zandvoort and for the #35 just to make gains after having endured something of a trying season after the previous two rounds so far.
Results so far leave the #34 crew down in seventh within the overall drivers Championship table whilst the #35 crew are in thirteenth.
Track action started today with testing ahead of Free Practice 1 and 2 tomorrow before Q1 and race 1 on Saturday with the same again on Sunday for race 2.
