I'm sitting in Hockenheim having breakfast with Walter Brun, and we're talking about yesterday. \u00abWalti\u00bb spent several hours in Fredy Lienhard's Group C Porsche 962, and today it's my turn to drive the 962. In addition, Fredy Lienhard is also letting me drive his Porsche RS Spyder LMP2 for the Curbs track day. So, two generations of Porsche motorsport history in one day \u2013 that's not something you get every day either. What's also interesting is that in the years 2007 and 2008, I competed against these Porsche LMP2<\/a> I've driven. So today I'll sound out my competition from back then.<\/p>\n

As in the 2008 season, Ho-rag Racing from Switzerland still prepares the LMP2 for Fredy Lienhard today. Benny Hotz helps me buckle up in the LMP2 with chassis number 707. I almost feel at home in the Porsche. The cockpit and seating position resemble the Audi I drove back then. The whole cockpit atmosphere, consisting of many switches and rotary knobs located in the cockpit or directly on the steering wheel to ensure quick operation, often with just a small finger movement on the steering wheel, such as the shift paddles located behind the steering wheel for up or downshifting. Quick gear changes are standard for this generation of race cars. Here, one could gain several seconds, as you simply stay at full throttle and hardly have any interruption in power, thus losing almost no time during gear changes. Taking your foot off the gas and clutching is obsolete.
