Two back-to-back four-hour races of the NLS season saw three Aston Martin Racing powered crews take to the Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit as the German endurance series ramps up until the end of its 2026 season.

The full season AMR protagonists from the Walkenhorst Motorsport and Prosport Racing team were again on hand as both entered their own Vantage GT3 that would both be running within the SP9 Pro-Am class for their respective trio of drivers. The Prosport Racing team would also be entering one of their remaining Vantage GT4 cars with a differing crew within each race.

 

The #35 Walkenhorst crew of Christian Krognes, Mateo Villagomez and Dennis Fetzer had already achieved podium success earlier in the season and were keen for some more whilst the father/son combination of Guido and Maxime Dumarey would in fact be joined by Adam Christodoulou, taking them out of the Am class and into the Pro-Am class.

The #175 Prosport AMR Vantage GT4 meanwhile would be running with both Robb Holland and Jacques Derenne on Saturday with Derenne and Jean-Luc Behets on Sunday.

 

 

The end of the European GT season is rapidly catching up and the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup is just another of the SRO ran series doing just that as they will be rocking up to the Dutch coastal circuit of Zandvoort next week ahead of the penultimate round.

A record forty-five GT3 based crews are scheduled to do battle within that round’s two one-hour races as class and overall Drivers and Team’s championship titles still lay mostly unclaimed although some would need a minor miracle on the part of others to detract those away from the present leaders.

 

Five Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3 powered teams from both the Comtoyou Racing (X3 cars) and the Walkenhorst Motorsport team as they again do battle across the Pro, Silver and Bronze classes but even one of these crews who now stand P2 within the silvers class, would almost need to win every race left for them to stand a chance of listing that end of season prize.

Last time out at Magny-Cours at the beginning of August, there was plenty of hope for these AMR crews as two had claimed respective class pole positions only for those to produce lower placed results with P3 in class the best result secured by any Aston Martin crew over that weekend. Traditionally, Zandvoort doesn’t usually allow the Vantage GT3 to show off its true potential either.

 

This week’s provisional entry list sees no apparent changes to the driver roster of any AMR with both Nicki Thiim and Kobe Pauwels again competing within their #007 in their Pro class, with the #21 Comtoyou Racing entry of Arthur Dorison and Oliver Soderstrom, the #34 Walkenhorst entry of Jamie Day and Mateo Villagomez and the #35 Walkenhorst of Gaspard Simon and Maxime Robin all competing within silver. The #11 Comtoyou Racing entry of Felice Jelmini and Marcelo Tomasoni complete the AMR powered line up within the bronze class.

 

Track action begins next Thursday with private testing before Free Practice on Friday, individual qualifying and race one of Saturday before concluding their programme of events after lunch on Sunday.

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.

The #007 Comtoyou Racing Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3 crew of Marco Sorensen, Nicki Thiim and Mattia Drudi gave it their best shot at this weekend’s penultimate round of the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup Series but even their maximum points wasn’t enough to take the championship battle into the final round.

Racing as one of three AMR powered entries at this weekend’s visit to the Nurburgring alongside the two similar powered entries from the Walkenhorst Motorsport team, the #007 already needed something of a minor miracle over the #48 Mercedes powered crew in order to take the fight to the final round in Portimao in mid-October.

 

Despite some very wet practice sessions on Saturday, the three qualifying sessions were at least run on an albeit green but more importantly a dry track. At the end of this morning’s runs, the #007 had claimed another pole position for their efforts whilst the #34 Pro class Walkenhorst effort of Jamie Day, Christian Krognes and Henrique Chaves could do no better than P14 overall – P10 in class.

The two silver classed entries of the #21 Comtoyou Racing entries of Oliver Soderstrom, Sebastian Baud and Kobe Pauwels hadn’t fared as well as previous rounds as they would start P28 overall /P5 in class whilst their rival #35 Walkenhorst entry of Mateo Vilagomez, Gaspard Simon and Ethan Ischer were further back in P44 overall/P13 in class. With the omission of the Ecurie Ecosse Blackthorn AMR this time around, that left the #11 Comtoyou Racing car of Marcelo Tomasoni, Aaron Muss and a guesting Sergio Sette Camara the final car of the quintet as they again qualified their bronze class entry P11 in class towards the rear of the pack.

Getting underway for this three-hour race saw Sorensen having to battle hard for the opening laps in order to maintain his position at the head of the race whilst those within the mid to rear of the pack had to put up with three cars being spun around in front of them as they all hit turn one for the first time. Whilst the #007 was at the head of the pack, the remaining for Vantage GT3’s were all within the second half of the pack.

Forty-five minutes in and the leaders were lapping the tail end bronze entries for the first time as Day remained P16 overall within his #34 car as thoughts started to look towards the first of the two expected stops but just ahead of the first hour – a car within the gravel brought out the first FCY.

 

During the stops, Sorensen handed over to Drudi with the championship challenging #48 car still doing what they needed in order to secure the overall championship a round early with all the other runners following suite as and when they arrived at pit in.

Strating the second hour, the #007 again lead the field with the #34 car still P14 overall but with Krognes now at the wheel as the #21 Comtoyou was also making progress before the Safety Car was called out again after two cars tangled and ended within the gravel. Whilst the race did briefly get back going, a slowing car on track eventually brought that inevitable contact from another bringing out another FCY.

 

Going into the final hour, the #007 lost initial ground to those around it as Thiim took the helm and going into the final half hour was running down in fourth as Chaves now in the Walkenhorst also struggled for pace and dropped places relative to where he inherited the car. Going into the final ten minutes of the race, however, Thiim was then up to third overall before a final lap passing of the leading Porsche (who had already been pinged for exceeding maximum drive time and hence would be penalised) saw the #007 pass for the lead again to complete a near lights to flag win for the Belgian team again.

Unfortunately for all, the #48 Mercedes also finished fourth on track to claim the overall Drivers Championship title before the long trip down to Portugal.

 

The #34 Walkenhorst crew eventually finished P16 overall / P11 in class with its sister #35 car P41 overall / P10 in silver. The #21 Comtoyou AMR did rally in the second half of the race to finish P24 overall / P5 in class whilst the #11 bronze class crew ended up with their best result to date P45 overall / P10 in class.

The final round of the season will be from Portimao 16-18th October 2026.

This weekend’s main racing event as far as Aston Martin Racing powered crews are concerned will be the penultimate round of the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup Series from the Nurburgring, Germany.

Amongst the fifty-five entries listed will be just the five AMR Vantage GT3 runners from either the Comtoyou Racing or Walkenhorst Motorsport teams after the Ecurie Ecosse Blackthorn team confirmed their absence from the event a few weeks ago.

 

With endurance rounds now signed off for Paul Ricard, Monza and the Spa 24- it just leaves both this weekend’s visit to Germany and the seasonal finale from Portimao to see out yet another season.

Championship wise, the #7 Comtoyou Racing Pro class entry for Nicki Thiim, Marco Sorensen and Mattia Drudi still stand as AMR’s best contenders as they sit second within the overall championship table, but they would need something of a minor miracle to overcome the forty-one points deficit to the leading Mercedes-AMG powered crew. With just two normal format races remaining, there will be just a maximum of fifty points available to them to achieve that feat.

 

 

The other Pro classed Aston Martin from the Walkenhorst team for drivers Christian Krognes, Jamie Day and Henrique Chaves have endured something of a nightmare season so far which has even seen them miss the opening round due to a practice session accident. Since then, the #34 crew have accrued just seven points.

Within the silver class, both the #21 Comtoyou Racing entry for drivers Kobe Pauwels, Oliver Soderstrom and Sebastian Baud find themselves just outside of the top ten in eleventh on a tally so far of twenty-eight points whilst the #35 Walkenhorst car of Mateo Villagomez, Ethan Ischer and Gaspard Simon find themselves further back in P23 with just five points.

 

The #11 bronze class entry from the Comtoyou Racing team for drivers AJ Muss and Marcelo Tomasoni sees the crew approach the end of what has become already a very turbulent debut within the series with bad luck usually outweighing driver mistakes. For this round Kyle Marcelli will also be replaced by Brazilian racer Sergio Sette Camara.

Track action will begin on Friday with both private testing and the bronze driver test sessions before Free Practice 1 and 2 on Saturday before individual qualifying and the start of this three hour race on Sunday at 15:00hrs local.

Whilst one Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3 powered team continued with their fine form from last time out, the other stabilised their performances to come home with some more silverware of their at the end of last weekend’s GT World Challenge Europe Spring Cup event from Magny-Cours.

The Walkenhorst Motorsport AMR team, and particularly their #34 silver class entered Vantage of Jamie Day and Mateo Villagomez, had enjoyed some well-deserved success last time out in the series from Misano just two weeks ago and this time round in France would see that continue – at least for the first race.

 

Having endured some torrential rain during some opening sessions, the first race of the weekend was an into the night race around at least a now dry former home to the French Grand Prix, the #21 silver classed entry from the Comtoyou Racing team had struck early gold by claiming pole position within their class for drivers Oliver Soderstrom and Arthur Dorison. The #7 Comtoyou Racing Pro classed entry of Nicki Thiim and Kobe Pauwels had also bounced back from a torrid round in Italy to claim sixth overall in qualifying.

Whilst that pole position didn’t turn into a podium finish for the #21 crew (as they finished 5th in class), it did for both the #7 and #34 crews as both crews took third in class at the end.

 

Sunday was another day and another qualifying session where this time, the #7 car inherited overall pole position after the faster BMW powered crew were penalised with their sister #21 car also going great guns again, claiming a P2 start to this race.

Whatever happened during the heat of the day, both Walkenhorst AMR entries this time struggled for pace in both qualifying and the race to end their weekend no higher than seventh in class for Day/Villagomez and P8 for the #35 Maxime Robin Gaspard Simon entry.

 

During the race, however, Lady Luck finally evaded the #7 crew as they fell back down to P11 at the finish whilst the #21 crew finally earned their first podium finish of the season after their P3 finish.

For the bronze classed #11 Comtoyou Racing AMR of Felice Jelmini and Marcelo Tomasoni, there was at least some improvement for this crew compared to what was tehir first round of the Sprint Cup season last time out in Misano, but they did still finish at the back of the pack at the end of each race.

 

The Sprint series runners now get a bit of a break after near back-to-back rounds as the Endurance Cup round from the Nurburgring is next up for the teams – the next round of Sprint will be from Zandvoort in about six weeks’ time.

The two Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3’s competing within this weekend’s seventh round of the Nurburgring Langstrecken Serie also endured something of a hard time during Saturday’s six-hour race that left both crews leave empty handed.

The #35 Walkenhorst Motorsport crew of Christian Krognes and Dennis Fetzer had secured a P6 start to the race at the end of the earlier qualifying session but had sustained damage whilst the #37 Prosport Racing AMR of Maxime/Guido Dumarey alongside that of Marek Bochmann were still a respectable P16 on the grid with their older iteration of Vantage GT3.

 

During the early stages of the race, the #35 car suffered from that earlier damage that could not be repaired before the race which then need attention after the start. That sidelined the car for nearly half of the race and by the time the car returned to the track – they would only complete 27 of the race winners 41 completed laps not to be classified within the results.

The #37 car fared better as they would ultimately finish P5 within their Am class and just two laps off the race winning pace.

Three further Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3 powered crews see out this weekend’s mainstream events for AMR’s customer and Partner teams across the world as both the Walkenhorst Motorsport and Prosport Racing teams return to the Nurburgring Nordschleife for the latest round of the NLS season and the D’Station Racing team make a return in the Japanese Super GT Series.

Starting in Germany, there has been some controversary already this week after another Nurburgring based endurance series was confirmed for 2027 supported by enticing automatic entries and reduced fees into next year’s ADAC Ravenol 24H main event. All of this would again be in direct competition with the more established Nurburgring Langstrecken Series (nee VLN Series) who race again this weekend with another healthy multi-classed grid.

 

Competing within Saturday’s six hour will again be the #35 Walkenhorst SP9 Pro class entry of Christian Krognes and Dennis Fetzer who last time out in late June (and alongside Mateo Villagomez) secure both overall pole position for the first time plus managing to bring their car home P5 overall, P3 in class.

They will be joined again by the #37 Prosport Racing AMR Vantage GT3 of Maxime and Guido Dumarey alongside Marek Bochmann, a team who was also successful last time out in that four-hour race by finishing third within their SP9 Am class. This weekend’s race will, however, be a six-hour affair.

 

Finally, we welcome the cars and teams of the Japanese Super GT Series back on track this weekend as after an enforced layover following the cancellation of the intended third round of the season at Sepang in late June.

For this weekend, the combined GT500 and GT300 grids of which the #777 D’Station Racing AMR Vantage GT3 of Tomonobu Fujii and Charlie Fagg will again be part of as they protect their slender GT300 class lead after their class win first time out at Okayama followed up by a P7 finish at Fuji.

 

This weekend, the series is again back at the Fuji Speedway but this time for a more typical race calendar with a 300km race as opposed to the two individual sprint races as tried last year.

The GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup is again top of the bill this weekend at Magny-Cours, France as the sprint series takes on its third round of its season and it’s second race weekend in quick succession after it previous round from Misano just two weeks ago.

In Italy, it was the Walkenhorst Motorsport team and particularly the #34 crew of Jamie Day and Mateo Villagomez who shone the brightest out of the five Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3 powered runners after the silver class pairing took a P2 finish in class at the end of both one-hour races.

Their sister #35 car of Maxime Robin and Gaspard Simon were also on par with their #21 Comtoyou Racing silver class competitors over those two races as each crew secured a P5 and P7 in class finish (obviously reversed for the other crew in each race) for their efforts.

Whilst the #11 Comtoyou Racing bronze class entry of Felice Jelmini and Marcelo Tomasoni, Misano was their first sprint race of the season having skipped the Brands Hatch opening before ploughing straight into the Crowdstrike Spa 24 in June. So their two P10 finishes in class at the rear of the pack at Misano did really come as no real surprise.

 

The real surprise was the uncharacteristic performance of the #7 Comtoyou Racing Pro class entry of Nicki Thiim and Kobe Pauwels which saw the pairing qualifying way down into the midfield in P34 overall before launching something of a recovery drive to finish in P16. Race two looked better as Pauwels collected a second row start to the race only to suffer from brake issues that took them out in the early stages to that hour long race.

These five Aston Martins go again this weekend with another pair of hour-long, pit stop punctuated races over the weekend with another combined grid of forty-five entries.

The Walkenhorst Motorsport team last weekend bucked the trend of their Aston Martin Racing stablemates at Comtoyou Racing having all of the fun within racing competition of late as they came away from the Misano with two podium finishes in class to their name.

Racing at just the second round of the Sprint Cup Series, the German based Walkenhorst team entered two silver classed AMR Vantage GT3’s alongside the three AMR entries from the Belgium based Comtoyou team for the weekend’s two one-hour races.

 

Race one on Saturday would be an into the night race with the forty-four strong grid lining up just before dusk but with just the #34 Walkenhorst AMR of Jamie Day and Mateo Villagomez breaking into the top half during the earlier qualifying getting a P12 overall starting slot over the next best of the #7 Comtoyou Racing Pro class entry of Nicki Thiim and Kobe Pauwels.

Race one unfortunately got off to a troubled start with many of the front running cars making contact with one another with two cars sustaining damage with a wide debris field that necessitated the Safety Car before the end of the opening lap.

 

Fortunately none of these were AMR powered runners but that did lose ten minutes of the race clock during the clean-up operation before things got going again as Day still featured as the only Aston Martin runner within the top half of the entry coming up to the mandatory pit stop window.

By the time that had finished it was practically dark around the mainly unlit circuit as now Villagomez took up the charge within the #34 car but with something of a comeback drive from Pauwels aboard the #7 Comtoyou car as he was climbing his way up towards the overall top fifteen.

 

Despite a late FCY for a car stranded in the gravel that would eventually see the race finish under waved yellows, the #34 completed the opening race of the weekend with an overall P14 finish – P2 in silver whilst the #7 car still missed out upon a class top ten finish despite their best of efforts. The #21 Comtoyou silver entry of Oliver Soderstrom and Arthur Dorison ended their day with a credible P3 in class – two places in front of the #35 Walkenhorst entry of Maxime Robin and Gaspard Simon. The #11 Comtoyou Racing bronze class entry of Felice Jelmini and Marcelo Tomasoni would feature at the tail end of the pack at the end of both races in their opening weekend of the series.

Race two on Sunday would be run under the full heat of the summer sun but with Pauwels starting from the second row of the grid in third and with the #34 Walkenhorst this time the next based AMR in P21.

 

A cleaner start this time saw Pauwels drop a place before holding position for what then appeared to be a resumption of the abilities, but brake issues would quickly see the car back in the garage for what be an immediate retirement. That left Villagomez still down in P21 as the lead Aston again.

As the race progressed, the #35 teammate of Robin was next seen climbing both the class and overall race ladder immediately prior to their stop but once that had been completed, their sister #34 again took over the leading reins for Aston Martin. Whilst the two remaining Comtoyou Racing cars got a variety of time penalties for (usually) track limits which put paid to their races, it was to be another great display from the two Walkenhorst entries again on Sunday.

 

Day and Villagomez came home to secure their second P2 in class podium having come home P16 overall whilst both Robin and Simon had their best result to date with their P5 finish in class.

The next round of the season will be from Magny-Cours in France in just ten days’ time.

The GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup Series are back out again this weekend at Misano, Italy for what is still only their second round of the season with the GT4 European Series again in support.

Since the season opener from Brands Hatch back in early May, the Endurance Cup Series has then taken precedence within the race calendar as they built their way up to the Crowdstrike 24 Hours of Spa event at the end of June but this and the next three rounds of Sprint Cup will now follow in quick succession.

 

Forty-four crews have been confirmed for this weekend’s two one-hour long pit stop punctuated races with both the Comtoyou Racing and Walkenhorst Motorsport teams fielding five Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3 powered crews between them.

Nicki Thiim and Kobe Pauwels again head the Comtoyou Racing entry with their #007 Pro class entry alongside their #11 bronze class entry of Marcello Tomasoni and Felice Jelmini and the #21 silver classed entry of Oliver Soderstrom and Arthur Dorison.

 

Within the Walkenhorst camp, they will again field two silver classed entries for both Mateo Villagomez and Jamie Day aboard their #34 and Maxime Robin and Gaspard Simon aboard their #35 car.

The best results of last time out in the UK came from the #34 Walkenhorst car after they secured (after post-race penalties had been applied) P3 in race one and P4 in race two so for the other crews – there is much to improve upon this time out with the #11 Comtoyou Racing car competing within their first race of the year having skipped Brands Hatch.

 

Within the supporting GT4 European Series, thirty-eight crews have been confirmed within the provisional entry with both Racing Spirit of Leman Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT4’s again being listed.

David Kullmann and Florent Grizaud again compete within the teams #72 Pro-Am entry with Clement Seyler and Pedro Garcia within their #74 silver classed entry within what will be for them, their fourth round of the season having raced already in France, Italy and Belgium.

 

Last time at Spa Francorchamps during the SRO’s Speed Week became something of a torrid affair for the two full season entries with neither crew finishing higher than P11 in class having been outshone by the guesting Grange Motorsport AMR from the British GT Championship.

They too will race two one-hour pit stop punctuated races over the course of the weekend.

As far as any Aston Martin Racing powered runner maybe concerned, this weekend’ 79th edition of the Crowdstrike 24 Hours of Spa Francorchamps must go down as one of the most brutal of events experienced as far as their multi-car entry was concerned.

Already running around the Belgian circuit within some of the hottest and prolonged weather conditions that northern Europe had experienced in many years, a starting grid size of nearly seventy cars and over one hundred and thirty thousand fans still packed into the circuit to see this latest SRO Blue Ribband event that still forms part of both the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup Series and the Intercontinental GT Challenge Series.

 

There were seven AMR Vantage GT3 powered crews entered this time around – four from the Belgian based Comtoyou Racing team, two from the German Walkenhorst Motorsport team and one from the British Ecurie Ecosse by Blackthorn teams and all fielding crews which has a distinct chance at either overall or class wins at the end.

 

Starting this year’s event in the mid-afternoon but with ambient temperatures well into the forties, it nearly went absolutely disastrously for the Walkenhorst team as both of their Pro and Silver class entries were involved in a lap one incident with multiple other cars. Whilst the #34 car of Jamie Day was seen spinning through the air on one-maybe two wheels only to land the correct way around and seemly able to continue, the same couldn’t be said for their #35 car of Maxime Robin. Already suffering from front end damage from an immediately earlier contact, the car was then seen to make further and heavier contact with the car that caused the incident and for them – that was the day done already.

 

Over the next few hours and throughout the early onset of multiple Safety Car periods, the Walkenhorst and Christian Krognes were able to elevate the #34’s race position to within the top ten overall despite whatever damage had to be dealt with over multiple stops.

After the early incidents, all continued at a pace for the AMR powered runners until the early hours of the night-time running when the #21 Comtoyou Racing AMR of Sebastian Baud was caught dropping a wheel off the kerb and into the gravel. That was unfortunately enough to put the silver class entry into a tank slapping spin that finally saw the car impacting (thankfully) backwards into the tyre wall and into immediate retirement. Baud’s condition was also quickly confirmed as being bruised and deflated but otherwise but that incident would end up being the beginning of the end for the green liveried cars within the race.

 

The #11 bronze entered car was next to be eliminated from the race before the then Pro-Am class leading #700 car guesting driver Sarah Bovey was witnessed to leave the track and impact heavily into the tyre wall on the outside of Blanchemont – again another car destroying impact that thankfully still allowed Bovey to exit the vehicle under her own power.

If that couldn’t get any worse for the team – it did, as in the early hours of Sunday morning a rare mistake from Nicki Thiim saw the Dane lose control of his #7 car coming up from Eau Rouge and into Raidillon – for the car to spin and nose sufficiently heavy enough into the barrier to end their race. Up until that time, the #7 car had been present within the top ten overall for much of the race and on the lead lap too but for this year there would be no return to the winners podium.

 

The #56 Ecurie Ecosse by Blackthorn AMR was also not out of the wars as their four-man driver line up battled their was up from their lowly starting position overall and within their bronze cup entry. Already carrying many battle scars, the car was also seen pulling into their garage bay with only three wheels attached at the time and with a small carbon fire on the splitter in their urgency to get back to racing. They would eventually finish P32 overall and P6 in class.

 

The true heroes were however, the #34 crew of Jamie Day, Christian Krognes and Henrique Chaves as well as the Walkenhorst team who helped elevate the car from plumb last on lap one to finish comfortably within the top 10 to claim an overall P7 result for their efforts. Who knows, one or two penalties less for track limits and they could have been higher!!

What a great event (considering)!!
