Winner of the 24 Hours of the Nurburgring

Congratulations to Audi and Phoenix Racing, as they've won this years 44th running of the Nurburgring 24 Hours!  The winning team, completed a new distance record of 159 laps, or, 2,544 miles at "The Green Hell".  Audi wins their second Nurburgring 24 Hours after Mercedes stole their thunder last year.  This year's winning driving team for Phoenix Racing was an all German squad featuring Christopher Haase, Christian Mamerow, Rene Rast, and Markus Winkelhock. 

Haase wins his second 24 Hours of the Nurburgring, having won with Audi in 2012.  The same is true for Markus Winkelhock.  Winkelhock and Haase were on the 2012 winning team with Marc Basseng and Frank Stippler as well.  The new distance record, mentioned above, is also significant.  We will see what happens in the Nurburgring 24 Hours next year, as the ADAC GT Series, returns to it's home at the legendary, mythical, Nurburgring.
