Two become three Aston Martins at this weekends NLS double header weekend

A four-hour double header around the Nurburgring Nordschleife is the beckoning call for well over one hundred multi-classed crews this weekend as the Nurburgring Langstrecken Serie ramps up the temperature towards the end of its 2026 season.

Rounds eight and nine of the season will witness one hundred and thirty-six crews take to the track on for Saturday’s four-hour race whilst a more modest in comparison one hundred and twenty- one cars and crews will do likewise for Sunday’s four-hour race.

 

Within that number we do welcome back the ‘mostly’ full season entries from both the Walkenhorst Motorsport and Prosport Racing Aston Martin Racing powered teams as well as an AMR Vantage GT4 powered crew for the first time in a while.

The #35 Walkenhorst SP9 Pro-Am entry of Christian Krognes, Mateo Villagomez and Dennis Fetzer are back together again looking to avenge their DNF last time out within the six-hour NLS 7 event after they had secured both overall pole position and a P3 finish in class at the round before that.

 

Within the #37 Prosport Racing AMR Vantage GT3 entry, it will again be the father and son pairing of Maxime and Guido Dumarey after they also struggled in NLS 7 but also secured a P3 finish within their SP9 Am class before that.

The only change to the norm this weekend is the inclusion of the #175 Prosport Racing AMR Vantage GT4 entry for the first time since the 24Hrs which will run a split crew across the weekend. For Saturday it will be both Robb Holland and Jacques Derenne whilst on Sunday it will be Derenne and Jean-Luc Behets – competing within the SP10 class on both dates.
