Nine works drivers contest Nordschleife classic with the 911 GT3 R

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

The 24-hour race on the legendary Nordschleife of the Nürburgring is one of the world’s biggest motorsport events. More than 200,000 fans are expected at the 44th running of the Eifel classic on 28/29 May. The factory-supported Manthey #racing team, with its headquarters just a stone’s throw away from the Nürburgring in the vil- lage of Meuspath, fields two new #porsche #911gt3r. Each of the 500 hp customer- sport racers from Weissach, which is based on the 911 GT3 RS production sports car, is driven by a four-man works-driver squad. Manthey #racing has won the race five times through the “Green Hell”, a name that was coined for the Nordschleife.

The race

The Nürburgring 24 Hours is famed for its suspense and thrills. Around the perimeter of the world-renowned, tradition-steeped circuit, fans revel in the unique atmosphere with a giant motorsport party. Germany’s greatest sport #event draws its particular flair from the 25.378-kilometre circuit (Grand Prix plus the Nordschleife “northern loop”), as well as the fascinating mix of professional and amateur racers. Extraordinarily, lining up on the grid this year are 160 vehicles from 18 manufacturers – including 37 different #porsche model lines. Around 600 pilots will share driving duties over the 24 hours.
