Walkenhorst Motorsport and Yokohama Rubber will join forces for the coming years.
Melle, December 25th, 2020. A very successful 2020 for Yokohama Rubber and Walkenhorst Motorsport on the german Nordschleife is behind them, in which Walkenhorst’s #34 BMW M6 GT3, which competes at the highest level in the SP9 Pro class of the NLS series, conquered the class championship with a dominant performance in the five races from June to August, including a first place, two second places, and a third place.
But in recent years it has also been very successful to set the current lap record (7:52.578) in the qualifying round with the BMW M6 GT3 and the slick Advan A005 tires.
Henry Walkenhorst: “The last three years have shown how great the potential and the results of the close cooperation between Yokohama and Walkenhorst are. We are very pleased to announce our multi-year contract with Yokohama Rubber, which also covers the launch of the successor to the M6 GT3. We all look forward to getting great results and making the package to its best.“
Walkenhorst is proud to announce the participation of 3 BMW M6 GT3s for the entire NLS season 2021 as well as the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring. Well-known Christian Krognes and David Pittard are confirmed by Walkenhorst and will do their best to tie in with 2020 results.
