Top BMW GT squad Walkenhorst switches to Aston Martin for 2024 GTWCE
Walkenhorst Motorsport, a German team, will be competing in the Pro class of the Endurance Cup segment of the GTWCE series with a solo Aston Martin Vantage GT3 next year. They will also participate in the Nurburgring Long-distance Series (NLS) with an all-pro line-up, supported by Aston Martin Racing. The driving crew for these races 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 is considering entering the ADAC GT Masters series in Germany. This marks Aston Martin’s return to the Pro class in the GTWCE enduros for a full-season campaign since 2019. Aston Martin is committed to GT racing, as seen by their plan to revive the Valkyrie Le Mans Hypercar for the World Endurance Championship in 2025 and develop new versions of their GT3 and GT4 cars for 2024.
