At the Nürburgring, Senkyr Motorsport startet with Jakub Knoll and Lennart Marioneck at the fifth´s round of the ADAC GT Masters. "Nürburgring was the most difficult race weekend for us so far. Everybody know that changing weather is at Nürburgring ordinarily, but what was going on last weekend was really tough. Both our drivers fought with the conditions very well and I think we can be happy with our result," said team boss Robert Senkyr.

"I´m little bit sad for the Saturday´s race because we should call the Jakub to the pits one lap earlier. It was at safety car phase and it looked like the track is drying out so we wanted to change tyres at last possible moment. But then the safety car phase ended and we were going to the pits in normal racing conditions. It cost us some valuable seconds and maybe also the second place in Gentlemen Trophy. But the third place is also a good result. After the race we decided to change the engine as precaution. We burned the midnight oil and the car was ready for the warm-up in the morning. Unfortunately the morning practice was canceled because of weather conditions so Lennart started without any function test of new engine into the race."

"It was really intensive rain on Sunday but the car raced very well with Lenny behind the steering wheel. Also at Sunday there was a safety car phase so we changed our drivers very soon. Jakub has a small collision with the Callaway Corvette during his first laps and it was not possible to follow the pace any more with the damaged right front tires," said Senkyr.

BMW Z4 GT3 took on 6th. place in Gentlemen category and 17th overall in Sunday´s race. Thus Jakub Knoll gained another 39 points in the Gentlemen class.

Lennart Marioneck: "Saturday´s race was good for us because we were able to get a podium in the Gentlemen Trophy. Race one was difficult due to the changing conditions. It was a race full of different strategies but we have learnt a lot. Sunday´s race was difficult so I didn't take any risks. We were also little bit lucky because of the safety car and our pit stop so we gained some positions. After the safety car phase Jakub sadly hit another car. So finally we couldn't get to good result. I'm really looking forward to Sachsenring now."

Jakub Knoll: "It was a race weekend of two totally different races. The first one was tough with changing conditions. It was dry on start but then started to rain so we have to change the tires. But Lenny showed his skills again and get a good result for us. I´m very disappointed with the second race. I struggled a lot on after the small race accident with the damaged car and was far away from another´s drivers pace. Everyone in the team worked well during the weekend and car was perfect. Also our pit stop was very quick but after that I´ve crashed and it was over."
