Last weekend was a remarkable example of a successful partnership as Caprock AG stood behind racing driver Felix Hirsiger during his guest appearance in one of the most competitive national race series – the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany. In collaboration with Sorg Rennsport GmbH, who were given the special opportunity to participate in the fourth round of the Carrera Cup Germany at the famous Nürburgring circuit in Germany, Felix took the wheel as their driver, joining 31 other accomplished drivers.
The Porsche Carrera Cup Germany, known for its prestigious brand and rich history, holds a significant place in the world of motorsport. Piloting the advanced Porsche 992 GT3 Cup with 510 horsepower, drivers compete across eight different racetracks during the season. Iconic tracks like Spa-Francorchamps, Zandvoort, and the legendary Nürburgring add to the excitement. A race weekend includes practice sessions, qualifying rounds, and two races.
For our ambassador, Felix Hirsiger, this weekend marked his debut in the new 992 GT3 Cup, where he quickly showed his talent during Friday’s qualifying. Securing the 20th position for the first race and the 18th for the second, Felix’s skill was evident. The high level of competition is highlighted by the fact that the top 20 drivers were within a second of each other.
In race 1 on a dry track on Saturday, Felix demonstrated his skill with overtakes, finishing 16th overall and an impressive 4th in the rookie classification. Race 2 on Sunday posed a new challenge with rainy conditions at the Nürburgring. Starting 17th, Felix navigated skillfully through incidents to secure 16th place overall. With this, Felix’s first appearance in the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany concluded on a high note. Also, the team at Sorg Rennsport GmbH has done a magnificent job preparing the car for the challenges ahead. On Wednesday, they had to change the setup of the car from endurance racing to the specifications required by the Carrera Cup Germany in less than 24 hours.
In the spirit of building a lasting partnership, Caprock AG and Felix Hirsiger are committed to growing together in motorsport. The goal of a consistent presence in the 2024 Carrera Cup Germany showcases the shared vision of Caprock AG and Felix. This pursuit reflects the determination we show at Caprock AG in overcoming challenges and achieving success. Such achievements are possible only through strong and enduring partnerships that thrive on shared success. With Caprock AG and Felix Hirsiger, the road ahead is full of potential and shared triumphs, rooted in a partnership that embodies success in the competitive world of motorsport.
