  • Maro Engel En Toksport WRT Bezorgen Mercedes-AMG Eerste Pole Bij Hankook 24H DUBAI Sinds 2017
    Maro Engel en Toksport WRT bezorgen Mercedes-AMG eerste pole bij Hankook 24H DUBAI sinds 2017 DUBAI (9 januari 2020) – De Duitser Maro Engel, een voormalig winnaar van de FIA GT World Cup, had sinds 2017 niet meer op het Dubai Autodrome geracet, maar dat weerhield hem er geenszins van om de pole-position voor de 15e editie van de Hankook 24H DUBAI van dit weekeinde voor zich op te eisen. Zijn rondetijd van 1:57,490 minuten op het 5,390 kilometer lange Dubai Autodrome was voor Engel genoeg om met de Toksport WRT-Mercedes-AMG GT3 (#777, Maro Engel / Luca Stolz / Philip Ellis / Patrick Assenheimer / Martin Konrad) de pole- position veilig te stellen. Voor Mercedes-AMG was het ook de eerste pole-position bij de Hankook 24H DUBAI sinds 2017. “Deze heb ik echt aan het team te danken, de jongens hebben een ongelooflijke klus geklaard door onze auto na schade in de testdag van gisteren weer te repareren. Ik geloof dat ze tot vier uur vanmorgen bezig geweest zijn, dus het is mooi om iets terug te kunnen geven”, zei Maro Engel na de kwalificatie. “Als altijd speelde het verkeer in de tijdtraining een belangrijke rol, maar ik kon een redelijk fatsoenlijke ronde rijden, die genoeg was voor de pole-position.” De Nederlander Jeroen Bleekemolen reed met de Black Falcon-Mercedes- AMG GT3 (#4, Khaled Al Qubaisi / Hubert Haupt / Ben Barker / Manuel Metzger / Jeroen Bleekemolen) de tweede tijd, slechts 0,047 seconden achter Engel. Daarmee was de volledige eerste startrij in handen van Mercedes- AMG-teams. Porsche-fabrieksrijder Sven Müller reed in de Herberth Motorsport-Porsche 911 GT3 R (#91, Sven Müller / Ralf Bohn / Robert Renauer / Alfred Renauer) de derde tijd.

  • Porsche at the Nürburgring 24 Hours – Can 2019 Surpass 2018?
    www.porscheroadandrace.com Porsche at the Nürburgring 24 Hours – Can 2019 Surpass 2018? Published: 20th June 2019 By: Kevin Ehrlich Online version: https://www.porscheroadandrace.com/porsche-at-the-nurburgring-24-hours-can-2019-surpass-2018/ Depending on your view, the Gods of the Green Hell either restored Porsche to its rightful place on the top step of the podium or robbed the Mercedes AMG from a sure win in the 2018 Nürburgring 24 Hours. www.porscheroadandrace.com Looking back… Dramatic weather arrived starting around 2:30am after 11 hours of running. Lightning bolts streaking across the night sky announced the arrival of rain and thunderstorms. The rain eased a bit before torrential rain arrived just after dawn and heavy fog covered sections of the track by noon. The heavy fog and moisture triggered a red flag which erased a lead of over four minutes enjoyed by the #4 black and orange Black Falcon Mercedes AMG over the #912 green and yellow Manthey Porsche.
