Levin Racing and Hankook Tire partners for 24H
Sunday, May 3, 2009
It is with great pride and excitement that I can now announce that Sweden-based Porsche team Levin Racing will partner up with Hankook Tire for the 37th ADAC Zurich 24H of Nurburgring Nordschleife. This means I and the other drivers of Hankook Levin Racing will be able to step the cornering speeds up even more for the 2009 race.

The #32 Hankook Levin Racing 996 GT3 RSR, that recently won a total 2nd place in the Toyo 12H of Hungaroring, has received a number of updates over the last couple of months to make it even more competitive and to conform with the new 24H regulations.

These regulations for all teams include a smaller tank, an inlet manifold restrictor on most high horsepower cars in the field and a special data logging system that the organizer can tap into at any given point.

For us it means that enginewise we will be even closer matched to the front running cars and gripwise it won't change more than immediately after a pit stop for fuel when the front of the car will be a bit lighter. Our performance improvements are in areas not affected by the changes in regulations, so we are looking stronger than ever.

The race takes place May 23-24, and tickets to Germany are currently very nicely prized so I suggest take the chance to go! The area around the legendary Nordschleife is really beautiful this time of year. I'll be back with more info soon. /Carl
