The greatest triumph

Manuel Metzger is one of the fastest racing drivers in the Green Hell. He proved this with several victories in the VLN (now NLS). But his greatest triumph was winning the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring in 2016. Together with Bernd Schneider, Maro Engel and Adam Christodoulou, Manuel took overall victory on the Nordschleife. Their car: a Mercedes-AMG GT3 from Black Falcon – equipped with a racing suspension from BILSTEIN.
