Hello everyone!
I am very happy to announce that I will be racing again with Max Kruse Racing for NLS 2 this weekend!
Now we can officially call it a long-term relationship, since 2025 is the third season of our winning collaboration. This year there will be a small change: the usual Golf TCR will take a well-deserved rest, making way for the brand new Audi RS3 LMS TCR Gen2 from the team!
It will be a great challenge to discover a new car on the "Green Hell" after 2 years of racing and victories in the Golf TCR, but I am more than ready to face it.
In terms of numbers, the Audi RS3 LMS TCR Gen2 is equipped with a 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder engine with about 350 HP, a 6-speed sequential gearbox and a weight of about 1,100 kg. It also has improved aerodynamics compared to the older generation TCR cars and is expected to be about 10-20 seconds faster per lap on the Nordschleife!
I can't wait to drive this new car on the best track in the world during NLS2, where I will team up with my teammate from last year, Timo Hochwind and where I will share the car for the first time with Nico Otto!
As always, you can follow the race live on the Nürburgring YouTube channel on Saturday, April 26.
I would like to thank everyone involved in this project, starting with Benjamin Leuchter for the trust he has placed in me for 3 years. All my partners, without whom nothing would be possible, starting with OFMECO Heat Transfer Technology SRL and Matteo Longhi, Eze, Les Grands Chais Monégasques, Botti Food Service, Scuderia Tazio Nuvolari and my family.
See you on the track!
