After nearly a month since his last race, Nick Yelloly is ready to go again as he heads back to the Nürburgring to take on the endurance classic.

Yelloly will be reunited with David Pittard, and Christian Krognes in the #101 Playstation-backed BMW M6 GT3 for the race at the legendary ‘Green Hell’ after the trio took victory at the Qualifying race a month ago.

Joining them this weekend will be 2013 Blancpain Endurance Series GT3 Pro-Am champion Lucas Ordonez who was unable to attend the qualifying race.

The #101 BMW M6 GT3 will be run by Walkenhorst Motorsport and is just one of 45 BMW cars that are registered to take part in the race, including five other M6 GT3’s.

Yelloly will be hoping to repeat their last victory at the Nordschleife and bring BMW their 20th overall victory at the ‘Green Hell’.

BMW will also be honouring long-time Schnitzer BMW team boss Charly Lamm throughout the weekend after he passed away earlier this year.
