24 hours Nürburgring 2025 07-08.06.2025 My first podium in the 24-hour race on the Nordschleife Last year, we had a great qualifying session and a great start to the race and led the field for a long time. Unfortunately, we had an accident that not only cost us the overall victory, but also the podium. This year, however, we were able to prevail. Qualifying Qualifying was tough, we weren’t exactly fast with the AMG due to the BoP, especially not compared to the BMW. So we started the race in 7th place with an Aston Martin and 6 BMWs in front of us. Race We also noticed the uneven distribution of the cars at the start. We lost 7th place on the very first lap and dropped back to eighth place. We were able to make up time on the cars behind us in the first two hours, but also lost time to the cars in front of us. In my first two stints, I was able to make up a lot of time and overtake two cars in a fight. The further we got into the race, the faster our pace became compared to the others. Especially at night, we were able to really show what we could do and were by far the fastest car in our class. As in the night, we were also pretty fast in the wet hours and were able to make up time and fight our way through the field. In the end, we were able to hold on to 3rd place, which none of us would have expected at the start of the race.    

Creventic Endurance Championship Rennen 2 03.05.2025 12h Spa-Francorchamps Tough race / Strong comeback Free practice session We were able to build up a very strong pace in preparation for the race. We were fast and knew we had the pace to keep up with the podium places. Qualifying Qualifying was not entirely on our side. Unfortunately, we didn’t manage a perfect lap and qualified in 8th place with a 02:28.767. Not the starting position we had hoped for, but we knew that our strength lay in race pace and not qualifying pace. Rennen The start of the race went quite well for us. We were able to attack on the first lap and make up a position. Shortly afterwards, however, the tide turned. We were hit in the rear by a Gt3 (car not in our class) above Au Rouge and catapulted into the wall at full speed. Our entire rear end was damaged, which is why we had to come into the pit lane early to repair the damage. It was a very frustrating moment for all of us, as there was nothing we could have done to prevent the accident. It was just a bad situation and the GT3 had seen us too late. After the unscheduled stop, we came back into the race in 12th place, one lap down on 11th place, but we didn’t give up and continued the race, gradually fighting our way back up to 11th, then 10th and finally 9th. After 12 adrenalin-fuelled hours, we were able to finish the race in 7th place. We dropped back to 4th place in the championship, but it could definitely have been worse.

Creventic Endurance Championship Race 1 29.03.2025 12h Mugello Another podium in the season opener Free practice sessionThe free practice session went very well. We were able to use the time to refocus on our strategy and pit stops and also to practise our qualifying stint again. QualifyingQualifying was a big challenge for us. It started to rain shortly after the start of qualifying. The track was still too dry to drive on wet tyres, but the conditions on the track were getting worse by every minute. That’s why it was important to set a lap as quickly as possible before the conditions got too bad. Unfortunately, this meant we only had one lap and even that was very difficult to drive. We qualified 7th on the grid. Rennen Für den Start ins Rennen war es dann definitiv Zeit um auf Regenreifen zu wechseln und so starteten wir erneut ein Rennen unter nassen Bedingungen. Der Start ins Rennen verlief super. Wir waren im Regen das mit Abstand schnellste Auto auf der Strecke und konnten uns bereits innerhalb der ersten Runde von Platz 7 auf Platz 3 vorkämpfen.  Auf Platz 2 angekommen geschah schliesslich das Missgeschick und wir drehten uns raus. Dadurch verloren wir sehr viel zeit und flogen bis auf Platz 10 zurück.  Da wir jedoch eine sehr schnelle Pace hatten gelang es uns noch im gleichen Stint uns von 10 erneut auf Platz 3 vor zu kämpfen. Ab da war das Renne ziemlich entspannt. Wir hatten sehr viel Abstand auf Platz 4. und konnten kontinuierlich Zeit auf Platz 2. gut machen. Leider gab es einen Zwischenfall mit einem Auto aus der GT3 Klassen, somit konnten wir uns im Verlauf des Rennens nicht bis auf Platz 2 vorkämpfen. Dennoch sind wir sehr zufrieden mit Platz 3 im ersten Rennen und sind zuversichtlich auf dieser Leistung für die nächsten Rennen aufbauen zu können.
