The grid is now all set ahead of tomorrows start to the ADAC Ravenol N24

 

 

After three more Qualifying sessions around the Nurburgring Nordschleife, the starting grid ahead of tomorrow’s start of the 2026 ADAC Ravenol N24 has finally been determined.

Despite running higher up the order in earlier sessions, the best that any of the four Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3 and one Vantage GT4 powered runners was just outside of the top ten within the combined total grid of one hundred and sixty-one cars.

 

With the three Walkenhorst Motorsport and one Prosport Racing crews already having faced some very challenging but very typical track conditions, it was unsurprisingly the #34 Walkenhorst car of Mattia Drudi, Nicki Thiim, Christian Krognes and Felipe Fernandez Laser who will be started farthest forward after they secured a P11 start at the end of today’s earlier top 12 Q3 session.

The sister #35 Walkenhorst AMR of Mateo Villagomez, Dennis Fetzer, Stafan Aust and a double dutying Laser were next quickest as they finished the qualifying process with a P23 with the third and final Walkenhorst entry of Henry Walkenhorst, Anders Buchardt, Nico Hantke and Mex Jansen P32 overall.

 

The #39 Am classed Prosport Racing AMR Vantage GT3 of Guido Dumarey, Tobias Wahl, Markus Lonnroth and Christian Konnerth P43 overall.

There is a further AMR Vantage crew competing at the event this weekend, this time within the SP10 class as the Dorr Motorsport team manage of their cars for their client crew of Peter Sander, Heiko Hahn, Roland Waschkau and Philippe Charlaix within their #169 car. They will start 106th overall.

 

Whilst the racing will always be good, the weather over the Eiffel circuit remains the biggest threat with low cloud cover as well as low temperatures expected to exacerbate the expected rain over both Saturday and Sunday.

The race will be waved off at 15:00hrs local on Saturday.
