Manthey EMA were the first to cross the finish line in the 24-hour Nürburgring race, but a one-minute and 40-second time penalty meant they had to settle for second place in the overall standings. Until then, Kévin Estre, Ayhancan Güven and Thomas Preining had dominated the field in their Porsche 911 GT3 R.

June marks one of the most demanding phases of the season for Manthey. With only a few days between the DTM in Zandvoort, the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring, the programme poses particular challenges for both crew and logistics.

Manthey EMA finishes the 52nd edition of the 24 Hours of the Nürburgring on the podium. The Porsche 911 GT3 R driven by Kévin Estre (France), Ayhancan Güven (Turkey), Thomas Preining (Austria) and Laurens Vanthoor (Belgium) with car number 911 took the chequered flag after just 50 laps, making it the shortest race in the history of the 24 Hours.

Manthey EMA will field a Grello Porsche in the 2024 24 Hours of the Nürburgring. Porsche drivers Kévin Estre, Laurens Vanthoor, Thomas Preining and Ayhancan Güven will pilot the car with starting number 911.
