In the narrow streets that is the circuit ofMonte Carlo, it is not only challenging for Formula One cars. The Porsche-Race is exciting to watch, too. “It is every racing driver´s dream to race there at least, because here it is more about the driver´s talentrather than the car and material”, says Engelhart ahead of the weekend. “Last year, I finished eighth after a really bad qualifying and I hope that we will be further up with MRS this year. Michael Ammermüller was verystrong in Barcelona and I am counting on him to be one of the hardest competitors in Monaco.”
The Australian Spike Goddard in the #15 MRS-Porsche impressed with an excellent twelfth position at the Carrera Cup race at the Nordschleife last weekend and looks ahead positively to Monaco. “Monaco is one of my favouritetracks and it would be great if I could show my continuing improvements from the past few weeks”, says the 22-year-old.
