Schubert Motorsport has won the third round of the N\u00fcrburgring Endurance Series (NLS). In the four-hour race on the Nordschleife, the trio of Marco Wittmann, Philipp Eng and Robin Frijns in the BMW M4 GT3 EVO prevailed against strong competition in a tactical contest. This is the team\u2019s fourth overall victory in the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Behind the winners, Ayhancan G\u00fcven and Matt Campbell finished second in the Manthey Porsche. The podium was completed by the quartet of Dennis Olsen, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Vervisch, Christopher Mies and Vincent Kolb in the Ford Mustang GT3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Qualifying: Mercedes-AMG initially in front<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n David Pittard secured pole position in the Mercedes-AMG GT3 in qualifying. Next to him, the eventual winning car started from the front row. He was followed by several GT3 cars, although an Audi from KKraemer Racing was unable to take part in the race due to technical problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Qualifying was unfortunate for Manthey: several Code 60 phases prevented a better position, meaning that the team only started the race from 16th place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Strategy decides intense race<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The start of the race initially saw thrilling battles for position. Pittard maintained the lead, while other vehicles pushed forward early on. As the race progressed, it developed into a strategic race with changing tactics and pit stops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Schubert Motorsport impressed above all with consistency and flawless processes in the pit lane. At the same time, G\u00fcven and Campbell continuously worked their way forward through the field and ultimately secured second place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The pole-setters around Kamui Kobayashi finished fourth \u2013 partly due to a time penalty after an infringement in a Code 60 phase, which cost crucial seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Comments on the race<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Philipp Eng was pleasantly surprised by the success after the race and emphasized the high level of performance in the field. The victory after a long break on the Nordschleife was particularly remarkable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Christopher Mies also drew a satisfied conclusion. After a long break on the track, he had to get used to the track again, but was delighted with the podium result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ayhancan G\u00fcven particularly emphasized the race to catch up. Despite difficult conditions in qualifying, the team was able to impress with its strategy and patience. Overtaking is often a challenge on the track, which is why consistency and avoiding mistakes were crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Strong performance from Gamota Racing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Gamota Racing also attracted attention: in addition to sixth place in the overall standings, the team won the SP9 PRO-AM class with aplomb. Driver Moritz Kranz also received an award for his strong first stint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
