Five Aston Martin Vantage GT3s for this weekends ADAC Ravenol N24 Qualifiers

 

 

 

Five Aston Martin Racing powered crews will convene around at the Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit this weekend for the two ADAC Ravenol N24 Qualification races around the infamous circuit.

Unsurprisingly, all five crews are from the Prosport Racing and Walkenhorst Motorsport teams with the former running their pair of older 16A iteration of platform whilst the latter run a trio of Evo versions.

At the last NLS round we only had the single Prosport entry but that was simply because the Walkenhorst team were busy in the south of France getting ready for the opening six-hour round of the GT World Challenge Endurance Cup Series.

 

That being said, one of the overall winners within the #007 Comtoyou Racing AMR Vantage GT3’s in that event will be swapping allegiances to the Walkenhorst team for these qualification races and indeed twenty-four hour itself as Nicki Thiim partners Christian Krognes with the #34 SP9 entry. They will then be joined by third man Mattai Drudi at the 24 but he is already busy this weekend at the FIA WEC opener in Italy.

The team’s second N24 entry within their #35 car will also be present around the Green Hell this weekend as drivers Mateo Villagomez, Felipe Fernandez-Laser, Dennis Fetzer and Stefan Aust team up togther for the first time.

A third team entry for team boss Henry Walknehorst, Nico Hantke, Anders Buchardt and Mex Jansen will also be involved within the teams #39 car. We don’t know about any special livery this time around after the colourful charity fundraiser example of last season.

 

The locally based Prosport Racing team will also be fielding two AMR Vantage GT3 crews this weekend although they are only down for having one within the main event in mid-May. The entry list for this weekend also list drivers within both cars so it’s all rather confusing at the moment with father and son Maxime and Guido Dumarey part of the N24 entry but with Marek Bockmann, Tobias Wahl, Maik Ronnefarth and Markus Lonnroth all in support somewhere across the two cars.

This weekend’s event will be made up of two four-hour races – one on Saturday and the other on Sunday.
