Aston Martin Chases Glory at Nürburgring’s “Green Hell”

Aston Martin is gearing up for a thrilling showdown at the ADAC Ravenol 24H Nürburgring this weekend, aiming to conquer the legendary Nordschleife, known as the “Green Hell.” With nine Vantage race cars in GT3 and GT4 specs, the British ultra-luxury brand is gunning for overall victory at one of motorsport’s toughest endurance races.

Hot off a fourth-place finish in the LMGT3 class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Aston Martin is riding a wave of momentum. Partner teams Walkenhorst Motorsport, PROsport, and Dörr Motorsport will field the Vantage GT3, tackling the 15.8-mile circuit’s punishing bumps, blind curves, and unpredictable weather. The Nürburgring’s narrow, tree-lined straights and massive 150-car grid make it a true test of machine and driver.

This race is the second in a grueling trio of 24-hour events, with Aston Martin eyeing a second-straight overall win at the Crowdstrike 24 Hours of Spa next week. By deploying multiple Vantages, the brand is showcasing its engineering prowess and reinforcing its storied legacy at the Nordschleife, a track it has mastered for decades.

As the “Green Hell” looms, Aston Martin’s blend of cutting-edge technology, driver skill, and teamwork positions it as a formidable contender.

Will they tame the Nürburgring once again? The clock is ticking.
