Three Aston Martins listed with the ADAC GT Masters and GT4 Germany Series visit to Austria this weekend

At Spa last time out at the end of August saw both Walkenhorst cars of #34 Mike David Ortmann and Dennis Bulatov score a third placed overall finishing position in race one whilst their #35 stable mates of Nico Hantke and Chandler Hull score another Pro-Am class win for the efforts whilst things did go a little wrong for that crew in race 2 of the weekend after Hantke was effectively taken out of the race on the opening lap after contact with the pole setting car into La Source.

Not knowing where the AMR Vantage GT3 BoP sits within the series (after multiple mid event changes so far this season, both the #34 and #35 Walkenhorst cars enter alongside eighteen other GT3 crews for another two one-hour races event.

Championship wise, both cars presently sit way off the pace after something of a disastrous start to the season – again, mainly BoP derived with success at Spa coming too little, too late in the year to effect too much.

They will be joined by the #55 Zakspeed with Eastside Motorsport AMR Vantage GT4 of Phillipp Gogollok and Jan Marschalkowski who have endured as similar seasonal experience within the GT4 Germany Series to that of the AMR GT3 peers in GT Masters.

Their last outing was around the wet of the Nurburgring in mid-August where the one-off qualifying pace of their new Vantage GT4 Evo was good (claiming both a P2 and P4 starts for the two-hour long races) but again, only being able to deliver two disappointing P8 and P5 finishes at the end.

For a team and crew who certainly have the ability – they find themselves down in a very disappointing P12 within their own Drivers Championship table with just four races remaining.
