Grit, preserverance, and a whole lot of duct tape very well sums up Toyota Gazoo Racing Team Thailand (TGRTT's) weekend in Germany – but it wasn't for nought as they bagged the coveted 1-2 in the SP3 Category in the 51st edition of the ADAC TotalEnergies 24h Nürburgring race with the Toyota Corolla Altis.
This win is the fourth time in a row for the Thai outfit. Cars #119 and #120 raced in the SP3 category (Super Production; for non-turbocharged cars up to 2.0L), besting entrant #121 from a German outfit racing in an Opel Manta that finished third. A Dacia Logan (car #118, another German team), did not finish the race.
Category classifications are as below.

Around the Green Hell, the race was classic endurance: there were no short spells of crashes, spins, and inclement weather. In fact, peep the pics that sees car #119 coming home with an entirely taped-up front bumper.
This year's outing at the Nordschliefe is the tenth run for the Thai outfit, and the fourth since they started racing the current-gen Toyota Corolla Altis.
