The reigning NLS and 24 Hour Nürburgring SP9 Pro-Am Champions, Lorenzo Rocco di Torrepadula and Patrick Kolb will compete this year, thanks to the support of their Partners, under the colours of Team Lionspeed GP. After three successful years with the well-known lion-branded Porsche, the new setup in 2021 will bring changes not only to the team name, which is now branded as Team Lionspeed GP, but also to the manufacturer and the technical support.
Lionspeed GP is proud to join a strong platform for growth and competition by entering a partnership with CarCollection Motorsport, supported by Audi Sport driver Patric Niederhauser. Kolb and Rocco, along with the whole Lionspeed GP team, will put their vision to work and compete again for the SP9 Pro-Am victory in the 24H Nürburgring and the NLS Championship.
