61 Cars Entered for Nürburgring Enduro

A 61-car entry list has been published for next weekend’s penultimate round of the GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS season at the Nürburgring.

The field for the three-hour enduro features two additional cars continuing their campaigns from the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa, Wright Motorsports and 2 Seas Motorsport, plus a new entry in the form of the Dinamic GT-run UNX Racing squad.

Adam Adelson, Elliott Skeer and Tom Sargent will continue as a trio aboard the No. 120 Wright Porsche 911 GT3 R, while the lineup for the No. 222 2 Seas Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo comprises Charles Dawson, Kiern Jewiss and Ben Barnicoat.

UNX, meanwhile, will see Belgian duo Mathieu Detry and Fabian Duffieux share driving duties with Iron Dames-linked Marta Garcia aboard its No. 888 Porsche, which appeared in the last two Sprint Cup rounds at Misano and Magny-Cours.

In total, the 61-car field marks an increase of two cars over the previous regular Endurance Cup round at Monza, with Barwell Motorsport’s No. 76 Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2 dropping off the entry.

The Pro, Silver and Bronze classes all feature 17 cars each following the latest entry changes, while the Gold class provides the remaining 10 cars.

There are also several notable updates to the driver lineups for the Nürburgring event, on top of the already-announced change at Steller Motorsport.

Lin Hodenius has replaced Colin Caresani in the lineup for the No. 6 GetSpeed Mercedes-AMG after appearing for the team as a fourth driver at Spa.

Rinaldi Racing’s No. 12 Ferrari 296 GT3 has a refreshed lineup as Rafael Duran and Fabrizio Crestani join David Perel, replacing Christian Hook and Davide Rigon.

VSR’s No. 60 Lamborghini sees a new face as Artem Petrov, who races in International GT Open, joins Michele Beretta and Alessio Deledda in the car.

At Tresor Attempto Racing, Leonardo Moncini has moved across from the team’s No. 88 Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II to the sister No. 99 car in place of Ezequiel Perez Companc. Replacing Moncini in the No. 88 car is Job van Uitert.

Finally, although the entry list has Marcos Siebert listed alongside Jef and Louis Machiels in the No. 52 AF Corse Ferrari, a team spokesperson has clarified that it will instead be Tommaso Mosca taking over from the retired Andrea Bertolini.

The 3 Hours of Nürburgring is due to get underway at 3 p.m. local time (9 a.m. EDT) on Sunday Aug. 31.
