Porsche Endurance Trophy Nürburgring represents the two strongest cup classes at NLS5

Maiden wins in the Cup 2 and Cup 3 classes at the 6-hour race on the Nordschleife. At NLS 5 the Porsche Endurance Trophy Nürburgring represented the two strongest Cup-classes with 13 cars in Cup 2 and 14 cars in Cup 3 class. The longer distance of 6 hours in comparison to the usual 4 hours meant the teams and drivers were competing for 1.5 times the points on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife. Last years champions of the Cayman GT4 Trophy by Manthey Racing, the series the PETN has emerged of, won the Cup 2 class with their Porsche 911 GT3 CUP (992) – W&S Motorsport (#120) piloted by Daniel Blickle, David Jahn and Tim Scheerbarth. In Cup 3 class Sorg Rennsport (#959) with Fidel Leib, Philip Miemois, Heiko Eichenberg and Moritz Wiskirchen finished first.

In the Cup 2 championships standings KKrämer Racing (#112) is regaining the lead with a second place. Best placed AM-driver is Mustafa Mehmet Kaya of Team Black Falcon (#104). Cup 3 class is being led by Schmickler Performance (#969). First in AM-driver standings are Marius Rauer and pseudonym driver ‘SVITTEL’ from W&S Motorsport (#960).

Manthey hosts „Manthey Family & Friends Sommerfest” for sponsors and employees

With the checkered flag at NLS 5 the Porsche Endurance Trophy Nürburgring went on summer break for two months. The weekend after Manthey, the official partner of the PETN, organized a company event to have the opportunity to show sponsors, employees, and their families around the Manthey facilities in Meuspath.

On the program was among other things the presentation of the special edition model for Manthey´s 25th anniversary – the Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport 25. Another highlight was the exhibition of this year’s Le Mans class winner Porsche 911 RSR #91. For the guests several attractions were offered including a Bobbycar racetrack for the kids and a ‘Pitstop experience’ where the guests could witness a tire change up close.

The PETN invited several partners and sponsors to the event giving an opportunity for a relaxed get-together off the racetrack. Among the guests were all industrial partners of the Porsche Endurance Trophy Nürburgring as well as the representatives of the NLS, the series in the framework of which the PETN is competing. Also invited were the managing director of the Nürburgring and the operator of the 24-hours of Nürburgring. Throughout the day there has been interesting exchange for the upcoming races and seasons in a calm atmosphere making it a good ending to the first half of the championship.
