| Car Collection Motorsport enjoyed a successful triple-header at the ADAC Racing Weekend at the Hockenheimring. Car Collection Motorsport was out in full force at the ADAC Racing Weekend in Hockenheim. As well as competing in the Porsche Sports Cup Deutschland, the team from Walluf made its debut in the GT Summer Series and the Tourenwagen Legenden. Jova Zec on the podium for the first time in the Porsche Sports Cup Deutschland At the season finale of the Porsche Sports Cup Deutschland, Jova Zec once again competed for the team in a Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport. The rookie has made significant improvements over the course of the season, which was evident at the Hockenheimring. In the first race, Zec finished third in his class, securing his first podium finish of the season. In the second race, Jova Zec unfortunately did not see the chequered flag following contact with another car and was forced to retire early. Nevertheless, Car Collection Motorsport looks back on the season in the Porsche Sports Cup Germany with satisfaction, as the driver showed significant improvement over the course of the season. The race weekend at Hockenheim marked the final race weekend in the history of the Porsche Sports Cup Deutschland after 22 years, but Car Collection Motorsport is already looking forward to the new Porsche Sprint Challenge Germany, in which the team intends to field a 992.2-generation Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. Interested drivers are invited to contact the team. Two overall victories in the Tourenwagen Legenden Car Collection Motorsport competed in the Torenwagen Legenden for the first time, managing Oliver Menzel’s Porsche 911 GT3 R (997 generation), which features the legendary Falken Motorsport livery. The partnership got off to a promising start, with Menzel winning both races in commanding fashion! Oliver Menzel finished the season as runner-up in the Tourenwagen Legenden championship, having had to miss the race weekend at the Salzburgring. Further news regarding the partnership between Oliver Menzel and Car Collection Motorsport will follow shortly. Solid debut in the GT Summer Series Car Collection Motorsport also made its debut at the season finale of the new GT Summer Series, a German GT championship for ambitious gentleman drivers and young talents. Bernhard Wagner and Patrik Grütter were at the wheel. The duo competed in the GT3 Am class. In the first of the two sprint races, Wagner finished sixth in the class, before GT3 debutant Grütter missed out on a podium place in his sprint race by just 0.048 seconds in a true photo finish. In the 50-minute ‘endurance race’, the duo finished in fifth place. “Many thanks to our entire team for the fantastic performance at Hockenheim – the triple-header, with starts in three different racing series, required excellent communication and organisation, but the team handled it flawlessly We are delighted that Jova was able to secure his first podium finish at the conclusion of the Porsche Sports Cup Germany; this underlines the progress he has made over the season. We’d like to thank Jova and the AF Race Academy for the pleasant collaboration this season. Our partnership with Oliver has also got off to a flying start: two races, two wins – it doesn’t get any better than that! We’re already looking forward to more races together. We made a solid debut in the GT Summer Series – here, Bernhard and Patrik were able to put in strong performances against drivers with far more GT3 experience,” said team manager Romina Schmidt. |
