The Adventures of Jorge Lorenzo in the world of four wheels continues. The Spaniard, who competed fully last season in the Porsche Carrera Cup Italia (a contest where he finished in 14th position among drivers), level up and in this 2023 will join the Porsche Supercup grid permanently to complete the course in the ranks of Huber Racing. Despite the fact that the three-time champion hung up his helmet in the MotoGP World Championship at the end of 2019, just a year ago he decided that it was time to compete again and his new work as a rider will be combined, once again, with his role as analyst during the broadcasts of the motorcycling championship.
Although Lorenzo also maintained conversations with the former director of the DTM, Gerhard Berger, to test what his chances were in the series, finally the Spaniard has decided to bet on “A highly competitive and professional team.” “I am happy to announce that I will be running the 2023 Porsche Supercup with the Huber Racing team,” announced the three-time champion on his social networks, about a new project that will not be his first contact with the contest. While playing his role as a driver in the Porsche Carrera Cup Italia, Jorge also had time to participate as a guest in what will be your new category during last year’s appointment in Imola, where finished 30th.
So it was a season of learning that has paid off, as the Spaniard has decided to give One step forward. In total there will be eight tests in which Lorenzo will measure himself in a contest that will start, precisely, on the Italian track next May 19. With the race in Ímola the 31st season of the Porsche Supercup will begin and four months later, in Monza, the curtain will come down on a contest that will enjoy its last test of the season curiously also on Italian soil (although they will pass through seven other different European countries) from September 1 to 3.
