Aston Martin Racing partner team Walkenhorst Motorsport has confirmed the first details of its 2027 plans, with the German team set to continue in GT World Challenge Europe and Nürburgring competition next season.
The team will seek to improve on its second-place overall finish at this year’s 24 Hours of Nürburgring, with its Pro-class effort set to return. Walkenhorst will also continue its Pirelli tyre development programme at the ‘Ring next year.
In GT World Challenge Europe, Walkenhorst is set to again field a pair of Vantage AMR GT3 Evos in both the Sprint and Endurance Cups. The team scored seven Silver Cup podiums in a consistent Sprint Cup campaign this season, and also finished seventh overall in an impressive comeback drive from opening lap drama at the 24 Hours of Spa.
Elsewhere, Walkenhorst Motorsport is planning to make its full-time debut in the BMW M2 Cup, and is investigating a return to the ADAC GT Masters. The team’s 2027 testing programme is set to begin in December, with further information on its plan for next year set to be released at a later date.
“Many thanks to the whole team for their fantastic work during the 2026 season!” said team principal Jörg Breuer.
“The highlight of the season was undoubtedly second place overall in the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring, which was the team’s best result ever at the Eifel classic. I also look back with great satisfaction on our runners-up position in the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup. Next year, we aim to build on these successes and improve our performance even further. The whole team will be working hard over the winter to achieve this!”
