I suppose there must be an English version available, too, as in previous years.

Finished 3rd overall; behind a Lambo by 16 secs. Robbed of 2nd by a late breakdown by another car causing a "slow down" section

Such a wise decision of Aston Martin Racing to switch attention to F1 rolleyes

Despite a depressing Mercedes-AMG dominance for the most part of the race, #34 Walkenhorst – Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 EVO finished on P3. Congratulations to Walkenhorst Motorsport and Krognes/Thiim/Drudi. An especially impressive driver performance by Mattia Drudi once again.

Best result ever for an Aston Martin in the history of the Nürburgring 24 hours!

Great result for the car and team which were strong from start to finish. Last 30 minutes was quite exciting. Really thought the Aston would finish in P2 until the last lap! Apparently first ever podium finish for Aston at the Nurburgring.

I honestly think that Aston Martin should focus more on GT3 as these cars have close ties with production cars and a greater customer base can relate. Would be profitable selling cars and parts to private teams. I certainly was very proud to see the new Vantage go up against the best. Very impressive.
