The full entry for the 2016 Nürburgring 24 Hours has been revealed and includes its normal staggering amount of cars. There’s 157 cars listed in total, with 37 of those GT3-spec SP9 machines, and as usual, there’s plenty of other interesting cars on there too.
In SP9, there’s a total of eight manufacturers represented:
Aston Martin – 2 cars
Audi – 9 cars
Bentley – 2 cars
BMW – 7 cars
Lamborghini – 1 car
Mercedes – 9 cars
Nissan – 2 cars
Porsche – 5 cars
It’s an astonishing selection of cars – many of which are new to this year – and as we’ve come to expect in recent years, you make a case for the majority of runners in the 37-car field winning the race outright. Looking at the full list really makes it clear that German marques on the SP9 entry in particular want to win this one though, sporting multiple lineups which are oozing with factory talent.
Outside of the SP9 runners, there’s some other notables like the trio of Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus entries, two SGC003Cs and one older P/45 Competizione M16 which has Top Gear’s Chris Harris (who recently announced his drive with Team Parker Racing in Blancpain GT) and Jethro Bovingdon from Evo Magazine aboard.
One of the two Aston Martin Test Centre cars is the new Vantage GT8 which was revealed at the WEC round at Silverstone, and will be driven by Darren Turner, who will be doing double duty during the race, driving in the #7 Vantage GT3 too.
The most intriguing entry from the remaining cars on the list is the Toyota Gazoo entered Toyota CH-R 4×4 crossover.
The car – which was revealed at the start of the year – will most definitely be a fan favourite.
