2012 Nürburgring 24 hours review/highlights

Last weekend’s Nürburgring 24 Hours was won by Audi Sport Team Phoenix with an Audi R8 LMS ultra GT3 race car with Marc Basseng, Christopher Haase, Frank Stippler and Markus Winkelhock driving the R8 LMS Ultra. While Mamerow Racing in their Audi R8 LMS ultra GT3 finished second over three and half minutes behind the race leaders, with Christian Mamerow, Michael Ammermüller, Armin Hahne and Christian Abt, making it an Audi R8 LMS ultra GT3 one-two in this years Nurburgirng 24 hours race.

While last week, Speedhunters Team WRT enter in their first Nürburgring 24 Hours race. The Belgian squad finished 32nd overall, only 20 laps behind the leaders in their Audi R8 LMS ultra GT3, with Edward Sandström, Allan Simonsen, Andrea Piccini and Oliver Jarvis driving the R8.

But, they were in the top ten and fighting for the lead in the first half of the race. But, by the night, a racing incident with another car first and a steering problem at the end of the race, cost the team a top 20 place in the race. But , a good effect for the first time around the Nürburgring. Youtube video below from the Speedhunters Team WRT.



That is all, another post soon. Bye.
