Congratulations to all the Aussies and Kiwis who took part in the 2015 Nürburgring 24 Hour race and especially to those who were there at hour 24.

Peter Scharmach (NZL), part of the #91 Porsche 911 GT3 MR team, was the first antipodean across the line, finishing 25th outright.

Mal Rose (AUS) and Peter Leemhuis (AUS), in the #49 Aston Martin V8 Vantage, finished first in class (SP8).

AUSringers supporter Wayne Moore (NZ) came home second in his class (SP8T) at the wheel of the #51 BMW 335i.

It’s a great effort for all of our “local” drivers to keep going back to the Ring with ever increasing demands on qualification for the race. We hope to see solid contributions from you all in years to come.
