Test report by CoMod Lotus for the Carrera DIGITAL 132/Evolution Porsche GT3 RSR Manthey Racing, 24h Nürburgring 2011, "No.18" (Art.No. 30609/27401)
Who said this quote: "Cars have always been my hobby and motorsports was the logical consequence." ?
The correct answer is: Olaf Manthey, founder of the Manthey Racing Team. I could start the club report with a summary of the Porsche team's successes, but the report shouldn't be three pages long. So let's limit ourselves to a few sentences:
Olaf Manthey was and remains a highly successful driver who began his racing career at the age of 19 and founded his own racing team, "Manthey Racing," in 1996 at the age of 41. He drives himself, builds race cars for various clients, and also tunes production Porsches for his customers. The headquarters and test center of Manthey-Racing and MANTHEY MOTORS are just 400 meters from the fastest section of the Nürburgring Nordschleife. The company is located in 53520 Meuspath, in the industrial park opposite the famous Döttinger Höhe.
The team's motorsport successes speak for themselves! Since its inception, they have won title after title. A list would be too extensive, so let's just mention the greatest successes: eight titles in the Porsche Supercup and the GT class win at the 1999 24 Hours of Le Mans. In addition, there were overall victories in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2011 at the legendary 24-hour race at the Nürburgring, as well as countless overall victories in the German Endurance Championship, including the 6-hour VLN season highlight.
The current Carrera model represents the winner of the aforementioned 24-hour race from 2011. I don't need to say much about the model's characteristics; the RSR has been one of the most popular cars in the 132 range since its release. While it no longer features the latest chassis technology, it can still easily keep up with cars like a 458 GT2 or an R8 RSR. The look is striking; the color alone makes the car an eye-catcher on the track.
Have a look at the homepage of Manthey Racing ( www.manthey-racing.de) and especially the top bar of images! Actually, the only thing missing now is the HARIBO Porsche ;-) that was also built by Manthey...
