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.

It was a great display from the two Aston Martin Racing powered entries into today’s sixth round of the Nurburgring Langstrecken Serie as one crew first secured an overall Pole position to the race before both crews delivered class podium finishes.

First time back at the Nurburgring Nordschleife since twenty-four hour for the NLS Series, todays entry was a typically more modest one hundred and twelve car entry for this four-hour race with both the Walkenhorst Motorsport and Prosport Racing AMR Vantage GT3 crews amongst them.

 

Competing like many across northern Europe at the moment with high ambient temperatures, it was the #35 Walkenhorst AMR of Christian Krognes who was first to deliver after he placed the car that he was to share with Mateo Villagomez and Dennis Fetzer onto the front row of the grid whilst the Maxime and Guido Dumarey alongside Marek Bochmann secured a P16 in SP9 start.

With the race starting just a few hours later, Krognes was to hold the race lead over the opening laps whilst Bochmann has elevated their track position onto the tail end of the top ten overall as the race then settled into its normal rhythm.

 

As the race progressed, the #35 crew would fall down the order to as low as fifth overall before a late charge brought them right back into the action to claim a P4 overall race finish but P3 within their own SP9 Pro class whilst the #37 Prosport Racing AMR entry did likewise within their own SP9 Am class car.
