When the Essen Motor Show opens its doors for the 52nd time from 30 November to 8 December (Preview Day: 29 November) for sports car fans, tuners, motor sports enthusiasts and classic car fans, the VLN Endurance Championship Nürburgring is also a must. The worldwide largest grassroots series can traditionally be found at the Essen Motor Show in Hall 5 (Stand 5A10), opposite of the Nürburgring stand.
At the VLN stand on the premises of this festival of horsepower, there will be the chance to get a close look to no less than the BMW M240i Racing, the car of the newly crowned champions Yannick Fübrich and David Griessner of the Pixum Team Adrenalin Motorsport. The BMW M6 GT3 from ROWE Racing, which will also be exhibited there, will provide a feast for the eyes. Anybody wishing to take the wheel himself can prove his talent at the race simulators of the Nürburgring eSports Lounge.
As Europe’s leading trade fair for sports cars with more than 500 exhibitors, the products presented at the Essen Motor Show range from sports cars over tuning & lifestyle up to motor sports and classic cars. Entertainment will also be provided at the DMAX Motorsport Arena in Hall 4, where the VLN will also be going to speed up. Amongst others, the VLN champions Fübrich/Griessner will perform demonstration laps with their race car. Jasmin Preisig and Benjamin Leuchter, the drivers of the Max Kruse Racing team, will also be there as guests, just as VLN drivers Karsten Krämer (Ginetta G55 GT4) and Kevin Wolters (Renault Megane RS). At the VLN stand, there will later moreover be the possibility to get an autograph from the favourite pilot (see schedule).
