About the race
This summer, the Šenkýř Motorsport team will once again take part in the ADAC 24H Classic Rennen 2025 2.5-hour race on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, this time under the banner of the collaborating German team Walkenhorst Classic.
- The first team will consist of Henry Walkenhorst (D) + Robert Šenkýř and will be behind the wheel of a BMW M3 E30 2.5l Evo DTM.
- The second team of Pavel Bouška - Richard Gonda - Tomáš Erdélyi will be racing a BMW M3 E30 2.3l Gr.A.
This year, however, in addition to the pursuit of a podium finish, the race will also be in the spirit of the continuation of our “Be a Race Driver” program. The team of experienced drivers from last year's edition was joined by newcomer Pavel Bouška, who will make his racing debut at the Nürburgring this weekend.

More info about ADAC 24H Classic Rennen 2025
The ADAC 24H Classic Rennen 2025 is a 2.5-hour race for oldtimers and youngtimers. But that doesn't mean it's just a leisurely ride for a few veterans. This year, in the presence of around 200,000 spectators, 210 classics from BMW, Porsche, Ferrari, Volkswagen, Mercedes and other brands will take to the starting straight.
This race is regularly run as a side event as part of the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring (one could perhaps say weekend holiday). With a history spanning more than 50 years, it is now one of the iconic endurance races that consistently tests many a driver.
Introducing the riders
Pavel Bouška

Tomas Erdelyi
+ Henry Walkenhorst (D)
Henry Walkenhorst is not only a racing driver, but also the founder of the Walkenhorst Motorsport and Walkenhorst Classic racing teams and, perhaps somewhat unexpectedly, the owner of a network of BMW showrooms. He only started taking to the grid 15 years ago, but you've already seen him on the podium a few times - either behind the wheel or on the pit wall alongside the engineers. And this year, we joined forces and took to Germany's legendary Nürburgring in his classic BMW M3 E30 with a clear goal: to take the podium.
Continual information from the drivers directly from the track
- Wednesday 18.06.
- After a short lunch break and a light rest, we headed out onto the Nürburgring track itself and explored some of its key sections. The weather has been good so far - mostly sunny, with a few clouds popping up now and then. And the prospects are similar over the weekend (unlike last year, where we enjoyed the rain to excess).
- This morning we had a riders briefing to get our license (Permit C) to race youngtimers on the Nordschleife. And now we can slowly start preparing for the race weekend. It officially starts tomorrow at 17:15 with the first practice.
- Sunday 15.06. and Monday 16.06. - First preparations
- Robert Šenkýř:
"This year we arrived at the Nordschleife already on Sunday, almost a week before the start of the race. On Monday, we then took our customers through our new Nordschleife Advanced Trackday. This time, however, it wasn't just our clients who rode the North Loop, but we also got to experience the track ourselves a few days before the first hard practice sessions. But now we are fully concentrating and looking forward to the upcoming race weekend. It's a dream to race on the Nordschleife in a BMW M3 E30 - the most successful car in racing history. But with 210 cars at the start and 200,000 spectators in the stands, it will be a race with everything, and we hope we won't be there just to take part. "
