The Black Falcon team of Bernd Schneider, Sean Edward/Jeroen Bleekemolen/Nicki Thiim have won the 2013 Nurburgring 24 Hours with a incredibly tight margin of two minutes 39 seconds. It was the first ever win at the event for Mercedes after many races at the VLN improved the handling on the infamous circuit.

Heavy rain forced race control during the night to interrupt the race for more than nine hours. Numerous accidents caused a treacherous mix of oil, mud and rain water on the track.

Coming in second place was the BMW Z4 GT3 Driven by Maxime Martin (BE) who brought the number 25 BMW Sports Trophy Team car home. As well as Martin, Yelmer Buurman (NL), Andrea Piccini (IT) and Richard Göransson (SE) were also in action over the course of the eventful race.

After 88 laps of the 25.378-kilometre circuit, the runner-up car was 2:39.781 minutes behind the winning Mercedes SLS.

Leave a comment

This is the new top of the range non-M version of the Z4, Unvailed Monday at the Detroit motor show, with 335bhp.

It’s called the sDrive35i and is fitted with a tuned version of BMW’s excellent straight six engine, featuring a new overboost function that temporarily raise torque to a whopping 369lb ft for spiritfull mid-range acceleration.


Fitted with a seven speed dual clutch gearbox, this Z4 deals with the 0-62mph dash in just 4.8 seconds and can go on to an electronically limited 155mph top speed approx 170mph unlimited.

The M Sport packages are fitted as standard, while lower bumpers and new 18-inch alloys mark it apart from the standard car. It’ll be loud too because BMW has adjusted the exhaust system to offer “powerful acoustic feedback.”
