Isaac Tutumlu to contest 12H Imola with Car Collection Motorsport Audi R8 LM

   

Tutumlu hits the halfway point of the 2018 24H Series with the prospect of a good result at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari where he teams up with Turkey’s Ali Çapan, Austria’s Horst Felbermayr Jr. and Siegfried Kuzdas.

Tutumlu is delighted to make his official debut at Imola where he will line-up the Car Collection Motorsport Audi R8 LMS with more than 50 competitors 

“We are halfway through the season in the 24H Series. I carried out a testing day there back in 2014 with a Target Ferrari 458 to prepare the Dubai 24 hours. I love Imola because it’s an amazing track. Despite I never officially competed there, I was able to learn his features throughout that testing day” explains Tutumlu highlighting “I’m a fan of Ayrton Senna, my single motorsport idol and it’s my pleasure to race at Imola, where the environment is still imbued with his spirit. Regarding the race, Ali and I are going to have two new teammates at Car Collection. Horst is an experienced GT driver and an added value to achieve a good result. We have to focus on avoiding mistakes or incidents, something extremely difficult as there are more than twenty GT cars but the rest of the entry list are TCR-specifications touring cars, so there is a huge speed differential. We really aim at achieving a podium finish, which was elusive at Silverstone and Navarra.”

The 12 hours of Imola is split into two parts with six hours starting at 15.30 (CET) on Friday. The second part will take part on Saturday at 11.30 (CET).
