Walkenhorst Motorsport moves from BMW to Aston Martin
Walkenhorst Motorsport and BMW, it's over. The German team will no longer enter cars from the Bavarian manufacturer in GT3 from the 2024 season, and for good reason: it has signed a several-year partnership with Aston Martin Racing.
Three new Vantage GT3s are currently being built at AMR and will be entered in prestigious events such as the 24 Hours of Nürburgring or the 24 Hours of Spa by Walkenhorst Motorsport. Factory drivers will be supplied by AMR from Walkenhorst Motorsport.
Aston Martin welcomes Walkenhorst Motorsport to the AMR family. Our new partner team will run integral programs in GT World Challenge Europe, the Nürburgring 24 Hours and the NLS (among others) from 2024 onwards. The future keeps getting brighter!#Aston Martin #Vantage pic.twitter.com/MBJqzWQe7F

Three cars will also be entered in GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup and an identical number in the Nürburgring Langstrecken Series (NLS) in 2024.
“The close partnership with AMR gives us the certainty of being able to count on technical excellence and experience in the years to come, says Niclas Königbauer, Managing Director of the team. This not only strengthens our racing performance, but also solidifies our position as a successful operational team for our partners and customers. We will certainly be well prepared for the upcoming season and look forward to working with AMR. »
Walkenhorst Motorsport won the 24 Hours of Spa in 2018 as well as the Asian Le Mans Series in GTE in 2023.
