It’s second time lucky for the Nurburgring Langstrecken Serie this weekend as the German circuit hosts the second four-hour round of the NLS series with the ADAC Barbarossapreis and an expected entry list of over one hundred and thirty cars.
Last weekend’s season opener was sadly thwarted by the unwelcome arrival of snow, ice and freezing fog of the Eiffel mountain circuit that quickly put paid to any chances of racing. Testing on the Friday was run through thoroughly wet and miserable conditions before the weather got suddenly colder overnight and although cars did eventually hit the track in Qualifying on Saturday, race officials eventually deemed conditions too dangerous to continue.
Like last weekend, we welcome the same three Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3 runners and riders again from both the Walkenhorst Motorsport and Prosport Racing teams although the #37 Prosport entry does now include a third driver within their father and son crew.
Team favourite Marek Bockmann joins Maxime and Guido Dumarey within their SP9 Am classed entry whilst the two Walkenhorst entries remain the same with Christian Krognes and Mattia Drudi pairing within their #34 Pro classed entry with Matteo Villagomez, Dennis Fetzer and Felipe Fernandez Laser sharing their #35 Pro-Am entry.
All being well, testing will continue today with Qualifying then held early on Saturday morning before the start of this four-hour race from midday.
