DESCRIPTION: HRT Performance converted a consistent two-part race into the 992-AM victory at the inaugural Michelin 12H Nürburgring 2026. Steven Gambrell, Igor Sorokin, Jonathan Kearney and James Kellett shared the No. 928 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (992 I), keeping it inside the leading group of Cup cars as the overall field circulated around the Nürburgring GP circuit. The Porsche’s 1:57.621 fastest lap supplied the pace, while clean stints and reliable pit work allowed the team to remain in the class contest across the overnight intervention. HRT completed 295 laps and reached the flag tenth overall, second in the 992 category and first in 992-AM. The class win placed the No. 928 among the strongest non-GT3 entries in the final classification. This gallery documents the rhythm behind that result: the Porsche moving through traffic, drivers working within the narrow margins of a one-make race car and the crew repeating the small tasks that make a long-distance finish possible. HRT Performance’s first 12H Nürburgring was a lesson in converting steady pressure into a clear reward—a top-ten overall result and a class victory earned across twelve hours of disciplined competition.
