  • Kein Wochenende Nach Maß Für Maximilian Buhk in Sebring
    17.3.2019 Pressemitteilung Maximilian Buhk Presseinformation Maximilian Buhk. View this email in your browser 17. März 2019 Kein Wochenende nach Maß für Maximilian Buhk in Sebring Enttäuschung für den Hamburger und seine Teamkollegen von P1 Motorsports beim legendären 12-Stunden-Rennen Setup-Probleme am Mercedes-AMG GT3 sowie reichlich Rennpech verhindern eine Top-10-Platzierung in Florida Für druckfähige Auflösungen bitte auf die einzelnen Bilder klicken. Dassendorf, 17. März 2019: Als weitere spannende Erfahrung mit leider nicht wunschgemäßem sportlichem https://mailchi.mp/2482b6a3e29c/maximilian-buhk-mit-platz-3-beim-saisonauftakt-in-monza-2110433?e=9b289b083f 1/5 17.3.2019 Pressemitteilung Maximilian Buhk Erfolg verbuchte Maximilian Buhk seine erste Teilnahme bei den legendären 12 Stunden von Sebring, dem zweiten Lauf der IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship 2019. Der 6,02 Kilometer lange, extrem wellige Flugplatzkurs in Zentralflorida, der zu fast einem Drittel nicht asphaltiert, sondern betoniert ist, erwies sich einmal mehr als tückisches Geläuf. Prompt taten sich der 26-jährige Hamburger und seine Teamkollegen Fabian Schiller (21, Bonn) und JC Perez (37, Kolumbien) im Mercedes-AMG GT3 von P1 Motorsports von Beginn an schwer, das Tempo der Schnellsten mitzugehen. Teambesitzer Perez kam im Qualifikationstraining über Startposition 13 in der GTD-Klasse nicht hinaus. Auch im Rennen, das wegen starken Regens während der ersten knappen Dreiviertelstunde vom Safety Car neutralisiert wurde, gelang es Perez, Schiller und Buhk nicht, sich entscheidend nach vorne zu arbeiten. Zumal sie von zwei Reifenschäden und einer Durchfahrtstrafe zusätzlich eingebremst wurden. Schon früh im Verlauf der 12-Stunden-Distanz handelte sich das kolumbianisch-deutsche Trio so einen Rundenrückstand ein, der auch bei später abtrocknender Fahrbahn nicht mehr wettzumachen war.
