Top BMW GT squad Walkenhorst switches to Aston Martin for 2024 GTWCE
Walkenhorst Motorsport, who won the Spa round of the GTWCE in 2018, will compete with an Aston Martin Vantage GT3 in the Pro class of the Endurance Cup next year. They will also participate in the Nurburgring Long-distance Series with an all-pro line-up. The team will be supported by Aston Martin Racing. The driving crew will consist of drivers from Aston’s GT roster, including Marco Sorensen, Nicki Thiim, and Jonny Adam. Walkenhorst will also field two more Vantage GT3s in the non-professional classes and may enter the ADAC GT Masters series. This partnership allows Aston Martin to compete in the Pro class for the full season in the GTWCE enduros for the first time since 2019. Aston Martin is committed to endurance racing and will revive its Valkyrie Le Mans Hypercar for the World Endurance Championship in 2025, as well as developing evolution versions of its GT3 and GT4 contenders for 2024.
