Two class victories and two championship titles at the grand finale at the Nürburgring
W&S Motorsport concluded the 2025 NLS season with a perfect finale. At the final 1st NLS Sportwarte-Rennen – Final Race of Champions at the Nürburgring, the team secured two class victories and two championship titles. The #165 AVIA Porsche became SP10 champions, while the #962 CMS Porsche won the Cup3 Pro championship.
SP10 Championship: AVIA Porsche #165 with impressive performance
The AVIA Porsche 718 GT4 RS team of Moritz Oberheim, Philip Miemois and Toby Goodman crowned a strong season with the SP10 championship title. At the finale, the team competed in the SP7 class as no other SP10 vehicles were entered. The championship was still won as the team came into the final round leading and no competition entered in the SP10 class.
Oberheim showed an impressive performance in qualifying, setting an 8:21 lap time on his very first lap. “To set such a lap time with a GT4 car is something special,” the driver said, pleased with the strong lap time.
In the race, the team started from 19th position overall. Oberheim had an excellent start and was even able to keep pace with Cup2 cars in the opening laps. The team worked their way up to 9th overall. “Philip and Toby did a great job in very difficult conditions and brought the car home safely without contact,” Oberheim praised his teammates. The result was a class victory in SP7 and eighth place overall – an outstanding top-ten result with a GT4 car.
Cup3 Pro Championship: CMS Porsche #962 with commanding victory
The #962 CMS Porsche 718 GT4 CS with Joshua Bednarski and Lorenz Stegmann showed a flawless performance at the finale, securing both the class victory and the Cup3 Pro championship title.
In qualifying, the team qualified in second position after holding pole position for a long time. The team strategically decided against a risky attack on the top time to ensure a safe race start.
In the race, Stegmann took the start and delivered a strong performance. After one and a half to two laps in second place, he was able to move into the lead. With excellent pace, he felt very comfortable in the car and continuously extended the advantage. Joshua Bednarski also drove a strong performance in the second stint on rain tires and further increased the lead. The third stint was comfortable: the team initially started on rain tires, then switched to slicks and brought the race home safely without risk.
Massivhaus Porsche #164: Strong second place
The #164 Massivhaus Porsche 718 GT4 RS team of Stephan Brodmerkel, Jürgen Vöhringer and Constantin Schöll completed the success with a second-place finish.
Constantin Schöll showed a good performance in qualifying but was hampered by a Code 60 phase. The team was significantly faster in the second lap, but the Code 60 phase destroyed the push lap. Another attempt with already cooled tires did not bring the hoped-for improvement.
In the race, Schöll took over the second stint under difficult conditions. When he went out on track, it was unclear whether slicks or rain tires were the better choice. It began to rain more heavily relatively soon, so he completed a very wet stint. Only in the last two laps did the track dry up again. Despite the challenging conditions, he was able to continuously extend the gap to third place from second position. Stephan Brodmerkel took over the third stint and brought the car safely home in second place. The team was very satisfied with second place.
W&S Porsche #961: Solid team performance in fourth place
The #961 W&S Porsche 718 GT4 CS team of Oliver Kunz, Peter Siebert and Lion Düker showed a strong team performance and finished in fourth place.
The car was excellently prepared, and Lion Düker delivered a strong opening stint. He gained several positions and defended his place even against faster opponents. Oliver Kunz drove the car safely through his stint on rain tires in extremely difficult conditions.
Peter Siebert took over the final stint on slicks, but conditions became even more difficult. The team thought it would get drier, but in the middle of Siebert’s stint it began to rain heavily again. “For the first time today, I’m glad I didn’t have to drive another lap,” Siebert commented on the difficult conditions. Despite everything, he brought the car home without damage, and the team was very satisfied with the performance.
Bitter retirement for CK-Modelcars Porsche #982
The #982 CK-Modelcars Porsche 718 GT4 CS team of Christoph Krombach, Richard Jodexnis and René Höber experienced a bitter ending. After a mixed qualifying in third place in class, a serious accident occurred in the race under very difficult conditions at the Hohenrain chicane.
It was the team’s first retirement of the season – a bitter moment. Despite the retirement, the team secured the vice-championship title in the Cup3 AM class. However, the most important news was that René Höber was not more seriously injured. “Of course, the joy that René was not more seriously injured and will hopefully recover quickly outweighs everything,” Krombach emphasized.
Successful season with strong finish
With two class victories, a second and a fourth place, as well as two championship titles, W&S Motorsport concluded an outstanding NLS season. The SP10 championship for the #165 AVIA Porsche and the Cup3 Pro championship for the #962 CMS Porsche crown a season full of success and underline the performance capability of the entire team.
