2008 Nürburgring 24 hour race: The Australians

May 12th, 2008 Posted in Australia, Motorsports

With a little over a week to go until the running of the 36th ADAC Zurich 24 hour race I thought I would list all the Australians entered in the event, as sourced from the official entry list. Some of the names and teams are very familiar to AUSringers readers, others are names I hadn’t heard of until going through the list. Whoever they are and wherever they come from I hope they all do Australia proud and return home safely after running a succesful race.

For a full schedule of events, including support races, read this earlier AUSringers article. The list of Aussies taking part is shown below and a full starting list, in PDF format, can be downloaded by clicking here:
