Manthey EMA and Kévin Estre set off again to attack the 24 Hours of Nürburgring with the Porsche “Grello”

The public's favorite will indeed be at the start of the 53rd edition of the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, on June 21. Manthey EMA and its Porsche 911 GT3 R "Grello" will be present in the Eifel this summer to seek a victory that has eluded it since 2021. To do this, the German team has decided to trust the same trio that drove the yellow and green car in 2024. Thus, Thomas Preining, Ayhancan Guven and Kévin Estre will take the wheel of the Porsche n°911, they who finished 2nd last year at the end of an edition truncated by fog (race interrupted after 7h24 of racing, 50 laps completed only).

The Grello is back for the 24h #Nürburgring! 💥

this year, @kevinestre, @ThomasPreining1 & @AyhancanGuven will pilot our No. 911. 🏁

Kévin Estre will compete in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring for the 8th time with the Manthey EMA team, which he has been a loyal member of since 2016. “It’s great to be back behind the wheel of the Grello for the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, rejoices the Frenchman, whose June calendar will be very busy with the 24H of Le Mans the previous weekThis race is very important to me and it means a lot to me to be competing in the Grello. I hope we can do even better than last year in 2025. Second place is a good result, but victory is obviously better. Our last victory was four years ago and I hope we can win again this year at the Nürburgring with Thomas and Ayhancan."
