VLN - ADAC Westfalenfahrt
Debut Win For Porsche GT3 R The opening round of the VLN was the first public airing for two new Porsche models and both performed admirably. The race win was taken by the #114 Manthey Racing Porsche GT3 R, the company's newest GT3 racer then taking an overall race win on its debut in the hands of Marcel Tiemann, Marc Lieb and Timo Bernhard - Great preparation over 4 hours on the Nordschleife for the trio's defence of their Ring 24 title With the #102 Abt Aud R8 (Mattias Ekstrom and Emmanuel Collard) in second it was left to the first of the GT2 spec, factory-entered BMW M3s to complete the podium, Augusto Farfus, Uwe Alzen and Pedro Lamy though were more than a minute shy of the time set by the winning Porsche. 4th and fifth were the second Abt R8 and Manthey Porsche GT3Rs respectively before the second of the Porsche debutants in the order, this the #740 EX1P class GT3 R Hybrid, a fine result but not even a class win for this car (Richard Lietz, Martin Ragginger and Jorg Bergmeister), the third placed BMW is in the same class! Rounding out the top ten were the lead #1 Black Falcon Audi R8LMS, Scuderia Offenbach's #652 Cup 2 Class winning Porsche, the #91 BMW Z4 GT3, this another car making its racing debut, and the #663 Scuderia Offenbach Porsche. Double world rally champion Walter Röhrl also made his racing comeback at the Nordschliefe after 17 years. Sharing driving duties with Horst von Saurma-Jeltsch and Chris Harris he put the standard 450 hp Porsche 911 GT3 R through a test under race conditions. “The car exceeded my highest expectations and I had a great time at the wheel,” enthused Röhrl. “We were able to match the pace of thoroughbred race cars. The 911 GT3 RS was particularly sensational in fast corners and under braking. And the best thing is, if it wasn’t so far tonight I could just put our number plate on the car and drive back to Bavaria without a problem.” Final Result 1 114 SP9 Manthey Racing - Tiemann Marcel, Lieb Marc, Bernhard Timo - Porsche GT3 R - 27 laps 4:00:11.884
