Manthey Motors scored a commanding victory at the weekend in the 2007 Nurburgring 24 hour race, repeating their success of the previous year.
The winning Porsche 997 GT3 RSR driven by Timo Bernhard, Marc Lieb, Romain Dumas and Marcel Tiemann battled through fierce weather in the race having claimed pole position with a lap of 8m39.560 (using a section of the modern circuit and the Nordschleife).
The start was delayed due to an epic thunderstorm, and the race halted in the early hours of Sunday morning when dense fog descended on the mountains. The race eventually ended at 5pm on Sunday.
The Aston Martin DBRS9 of Phoenix Racing was quick all weekend - and actually claimed pole in the first qualifying session - but retired from fourth position on Sunday morning with engine problems.

The Zakspeed Viper GTS-R finished in second spot, with the Land Motorsport Porsche 996 GT3 RSR ending up third after an eventful race; after the restart it clashed with the leader and damaged a radiator which required a lengthy pitstop to replace.
