Manthey-Racing with a crazy crew to play for victory at the 24 Hours of the Nürburgring

The 24 Hours of Nürburgring (May 30-June 2) constitute one of the major events on the calendar for a German manufacturer. When we call each other Porsche, the test is therefore of paramount importance! It's no surprise that the German brand is fielding four top-flight drivers in a 911 GT3 R from the top team Manthey-Racing.

With the car in the legendary Grello livery (mixture of blurred green and yellow), the Porsche Hypercar drivers in WEC who are Kevin Estre and Laurens Vanthoor (winner in 2015 with Audi) will take turns with Thomas Preining (champion DTM 2023) and Ayhançan Güven.

“I am very happy to drive the Grello again on the Nordschleife,” explains the Frenchman. It's my favorite race and I have a lot of good memories there with Manthey. » Laurens Vanthoor : “It’s really cool to be back behind the wheel of Grello at the Nürburgring. Even more so after our success at the 12 Bathurst 2024 Hours.” 

“We are starting with a strong group of drivers and I hope we can fight for the overall victory after the retirements of the last two years, pourfollows Nicolas Raeder, Managing Director of Manthey Racing. This year the event is part of the Intercontinental GT Challenge, which we started with a victory at Bathurst. »
