The PROsport-AMG in the BILSTEIN-HELLA livery returns, the repaired Aston Martin makes its comeback, and the GT4 trio defends the championship lead.
On Saturday, June 20, PROsport Racing kicks off the second half of the Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS). For the 1st ADAC Eifel Trophy—the sixth round of the season—the Wiesemscheid-based team is fielding three cars on the Nordschleife.
The spotlight is on the return of the Mercedes-AMG GT3 featuring the BILSTEIN and HELLA livery. The car had already impressed with strong pace during the 24-hour race in May. Sharing driving duties are Mercedes-AMG Expert Driver Adam Christodoulou, British endurance racer Kyle Tilley, and Jake Hill, who won the 2024 British Touring Car Championship (BTCC).
The Aston Martin Vantage GT3 is also making its comeback. Following a severe accident during the 24-hour race, the mechanics spent weeks repairing the vehicle. The seasoned father-son duo of Guido and Maxime Dumarey will take the wheel.
In the SP10 GT4 class, Anton Abee, Yannik Himmels, and Jörg Viebahn will compete in the Mercedes-AMG GT4. The trio is chasing their second class victory of the season and aims to defend their lead in the class standings.
Christoph Esser, founder and Managing Director of PROsport Racing, said: “Our team has worked hard over the past few weeks to rebuild the Aston Martin after the accident. We want to reward that effort with a strong result this weekend.”
“Our Mercedes-AMG GT3 in the BILSTEIN-HELLA livery demonstrated its capabilities during the 24-hour race. We aim to build on that performance at NLS 6. With three cars on the grid, we want to be at the front of the pack on all fronts—especially in the SP10 class, where our trio has their sights set on another class win,” added Marc Hennerici, Managing Director of PROsport Racing. The 1st ADAC Eifel Trophy, the sixth round of the ADAC RAVENOL Nürburgring Endurance Series, starts on June 20 at 12:00 p.m. Qualifying begins at 8:30 a.m., and a setup test session on the Nordschleife is also scheduled for Friday. The official YouTube livestream will broadcast the entire race day.
