Scheider and Stippler to contest the Eifel marathon together

Audi Sport Team Rosberg’s DTM drivers, Timo Scheider and Frank Stippler, are going to jointly contest the ADAC 24h-Hour Race at the Nürburgring at the wheel of the Land Motorsport entered Porsche 911 GT3 RSR, thus following their brand-mate Christian Abt. The latter is also going to compete in the endurance classic at the wheel of a Porsche, together with Klaus Ludwig as well as the Alzen brothers, Uwe and Jürgen.

Scheider and Stippler will start on Land PorscheScheider and Stippler will team up with the Nordschleife experienced drivers Marc Basseng and Patrick Simon. The squad around Team principal Wolfgang Land is regarded as one of the favourites as its regular driver pairing, Basseng/Simon, prevailed in the latest round of the Nürburgring Endurance Championship, with the car of the Westerwald based team proving to be one of the quickest on the packed grid.

Timo Scheider was one of the four Opel drivers who succeeded in clinching the win in the 2003 edition of the Nürburgring ADAC 24-Hour Race, while Frank Stippler, racing an Abt-Audi TT-R, took fourth place for Audi in 2004.
