Monza – Temple of Speed, as the circuit is called, is the fastest race track on the calendar for the Porsche Sports Cup Suisse. For me, this meant an unknown race track, a new team, a new car, and, therefore, all sorts of new things to learn. On the first day, I struggled with the setup, for example, keeping the tire pressure in an optimal

Imola – after a year’s interruption, we are guests again at this beautiful racetrack. Due to the heavy rainfall four weeks ago, the Formula 1 race could not take place here, but for us, everything was ready again – Ready to Race.   The first two days of practice went according to our plan and preparation with no big surprises. I improved quite a bit

Southern France; sunny and warm days one would expect. But far from it; it was cold, wet, and at best, occasionally, sometimes dry. Often the track was too dry for the rain tire and too wet for slicks, so you had to choose a setup in between. The first two days of practice were intense due to the changing conditions, but the best practice I

In qualifying, I was a bit unlucky due to my own mistake and missed the tire peak, so I had to start from the third row in P6. As so often in Spielberg, the start was rather “special”, but the outside line in T1 up the hill proved to be the right choice, and I was able to finish the race in P3 after exciting

After a highly successful 2022 season, preparations are now underway for the 2023 season. I enjoyed drifting on the ice for three days in Arvidsjaur (Sweden). It was a lot of fun and an excellent preparation! (drifting in Swedish Lappland) (unforgettable evening mood) The next stop is Mugello, where we will do the first tests. Even if my new GT4 MR doesn’t look like it

The last races of the Porsche Sport Cup Suisse took place in Misano. In P2 in the overall standings, behind the driver duo Greiling/Richter, my chances of winning the title were theoretical only. The duo did not only show a top performance this season but also benefited from a rule change, hopefully, valid only for this year. If a duo competes in the same car

The battle for overall victory in the Porsche Sports Cup Suisse continued this weekend in Dijon with two sprint races. After changeable conditions, we had to drive the qualifying in the rain, where I still had to get used to it. Unfortunately, the setup was not optimal, and I found myself in the rear midfield on P12 overall. After a successful start and the fight

What a weekend, what new experience! After I spent Thursday and Friday between vehicle, toilet, and bed with a violent gastrointestinal infection (top support from Dr. Jean-Daniel Etter, THANK YOU!), in the sprint race already, P2 could celebrate, the Endurance Race was on. Torrential rain in my first rain race… The race was then also marked by longer safety car phases and the one or
