Juuso Puhakka (23/FIN) has joined the Madpanda Motorsport in the ADAC GT Masters. The 23-year-old replaces Maximilian Götz (36/Uffenheim) in the cockpit of the #90 Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo and will go in pursuit of points together with Ezequiel Perez Companc (28/RA) at the DEKRA Lausitzring. “Juuso Puhakka is a talented and ambitious driver, who has already amassed a lot of experience in the GT racing. Together with Juuso, we want to continue where we left off, with fifth place at the Nürburgring,” said team principal Ezequiel Perez Companc.

The young Finn began his motorsport career in Formula Renault and the North European Formula 4 championship, in which he claimed his maiden victory in 2017. This season, Puhakka is the fourth Finn to line up in the German GT Championship, along with Konsta Lappalainen (21), Jesse Krohn (31) and Elias Seppänen (18).
