Aston Martin to race at Nürburgring

Aston Martin has confirmed that it will be running three cars for the 1000 Km of the Nürburgring this weekend. The British marque, which had been considering the move, finally confirmed the news on Wednesday.

With only two meetings to go this season, starting in Germany next weekend before climaxing at Silverstone three weeks later, the Lola-built cars will first be taking to the track for the ADAC 1000 Km of the Nürburgring.

The manufacturer will be running a trio of LMP 1 cars, the first of which will be driven by Germany's Stefan Mücke with Czech compatriots Jan Charouz and Tomas Enge alongside for Aston Martin Racing.

The two drivers confirmed for the second car are Switzerland's Harold Primat and an ex-British Touring Car star in Britain's Darren Turner, of Reading.

The third car will be taking part under the Czech AMR Eastern Europe label, steered by Portugal's Miguel Ramos and Stansted's Stuart Hall.
