After witnessing the dominance of the Manthey Racing cars in previous years, I wasn't surprised to watch them once again battle their way to the top. Today's win at the 2011 Nürburgring 24HR makes it their fifth win in six years, with last year's win by BMW the only dent in this incredibly impressive record. We'll be bringing you more coverage from the event shortly.

The most amazing race this year. I was a pleasure to watch, even though I'm not really a fan of Porsche. Ah well, maybe next year the Ferrari will have more luck
I am not surprised Porsche took the spot. Very exciting coverage as always Speedhunters!
Porshe bringing it home once again
MANTHEY!!!
Id like to see an article on some of the other class wins, like the STI #155 works car that dominated SP3T this year and ended with a very good 21st place finish. They even beat out the GT-R in the field, both V12 Zagato's plus many more!
Manthey does it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SICK!!!
Can we have a high res of that pic of the #18 up there? Gotta love the look of a car that has just done 24 hours on the most demanding, car busting track on earth!
