Farnbacher Racing are busy getting prepared for the second half of the ADAC GT Masters season which gets under way on the weekend of 8th to 10th August at the Slovakia Ring in Bratislava, Slovakia. Porsche junior Alex Riberas will stand in for Mario Farnbacher, who has dates that clash with races in North America for three of the four race weekends in the second half of the season.

Riberas will line up alongside Nathan Morcom in the Porsche 911 GT3 R at the Slovakia Ring, at the Sachsenring and for the finale in Hockenheim. The 20-year-old Spaniard from Barcelona will be making his ADAC GT Masters debut. As a Porsche junior, Riberas is also competing in the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany and in the Porsche Supercup. Riberas can expect to have a very busy schedule during the race weekend at the Sachsenring. In addition to contesting the ADAC GT Masters, Riberas will also line up in the Porsche Carrera Cup that is being run for the first time during the ADAC GT Masters Sachsenring weekend.

Riberas is looking forward to the three race weekends in the Super Sports Car League: "The ADAC Masters is without doubt one of the best racing series in the world."

Alex Riberas has not met new team-mate Morcom so far: "I´ve not yet made his acquaintance but have heard that he´s a speedy Australian."

The Porsche driver is particularly pleased about the prospect of his three weekends racing with Team Farnbacher Racing, who are based near Nuremberg in Bavaria: "Farnbacher are known for their unrivalled professionalism. The team has already achieved many successes. I will do my best to prove my skill and achieve a good result for the team."
