The Adrenalin Motorsport Team Alzner Automotive delivered a brilliant dress rehearsal for the 24h Race during the Qualifiers.

The team of Matthias Unger triumphed in four different classes during both the first 3h Race on Saturday and the second race on Sunday. In addition, the reigning NLS championship team achieved four further victories in the supporting programme of the Rundstrecken-Challenge Nürburgring (RCN), bringing the total to a dozen class wins.

“For us, the qualifiers were once again very important to gain additional mileage on the Nürburgring Nordschleife and to apply the finishing touches to the team side ahead of the season’s big highlight. It is simply fantastic to return with a total of twelve class victories. Now we hope to celebrate success again at the 24h Race. Until then, we will use the time to meticulously prepare the vehicles for use in the world’s toughest endurance race,” explains Unger.
