GT4 drivers confirmed at Propsort Racing for the NLS


Only last week were German based Prosport Racing hinting at a two cars Aston Martin Racing powered driver line up for this year’s Nurburgring Langstrecken Serie but todays sees them go one step further.

Running both a Vantage GT4 and Vantage GT8R again within the Nordschleife based series sees the Christoph Esser lead team confirm both Guido Dumarey and fellow Belgian Alexander Hommerson compete within the SP8T classed GT8R whilst the SP10 classed GT4 will be driven by Jorg Viebahn and Yannik Himmels.


Like Dumarey has ran many times within the Prosport family, Viebahn has done likewise but extending back to the first time the then Prosport Performance team acquired two new 17A versions of the Vantage GT4 for their ill-fated venture into the ADAC GT4 Germany Series in 2019 as did Hommerson last season. Himmels is however new to the team.

Aston Martin powered success at latest round of NLS

Aston Martin powered success at latest round of NLS

 


Saturday proved itself to be something of a ‘good day at the office’ for the three Aston Martin Racing powered crews and also interested parties at the latest running of the Nurburgring Langstrecken Serie around the infamous Nordschleife circuit.

The locally based Prosport Racing team were again back in action with their AMR Vantage GT3 and this time, just one of the Vantage GT4 cars as the Schnitzelalm Racing team also fielding an older generation Vantage GT4 for their clients.


Last time out in the series was for a massive twelve-hour race but this time it was back to the usual four as Nico Verdonck partnered Christoph Breuer in aboard the #17 SP9 Pro-Am entered car whilst Guido Dumarey guided GT4 newcomer Alexander Hommerson around their #176 SP10 classed car whilst father/son pairing, Walter and Fabio Laschet competed in their normally aspirated SP8 classed Vantage GT4.


At the end, all three cars finished with the #17 car coming back with a class win from their group of six competitors whilst the #176 came home in third out of four runners whilst the #132 was the sole SP8 entry, but still they completed the race which is a feat in itself.


Further down the grid in the lower classes, we saw Prosport Racing’s Hugo Sasse complete another race towards his Nordschliefe Permit in one of the team’s Porsche’s whilst Heart of Racing’s Roman De Angelis and Ross Gunn were doing likewise with a class win in a BMW M240i classed car.
