RENNtech Motorsports scores first Podium of the Season

Watch the highlights of Race 1 at NOLA Motorsports Park.

A flawless performance in New Orleans, puts Michael Auriemma and Tommy Johnson and the MB Gram #89 RENNtech AMG GT4 on the podium in the AM Class.

After qualifying in an outstanding P6 in Class, Tommy Johnson started the Sunday race for RENNtech. Johnson pushed hard while avoiding a couple early race scuffles as he was able to survive both Safety Car periods without any incidents.

Tommy Johnson started Race 1 P6 and gained one position before driver change.

At the half way mark, Michael Auriemma took over from Johnson with the car in P5. While steadily increasing his pace, Michael closed the gap to the leading cars. He crossed the checkered flag close to our competitors and steered clear of a few potential incidents. The #89 AMG GT4 finished P3 in class due to 2 post race penalties and scored the first podium for RENNtech Motorsports in 2023.

 

Michael Auriemma continued the race in P5 and finished P, getting our first podium of the season.

“We had a good weekend - the Team delivered a great car for the race and scoring our first podium feels fantastic! We intend to capitalize on this momentum moving forward, and we’ll be looking for more Podiums at COTA” said Team Owner Hartmut Feyhl.

Severe weather on Saturday led to delays in the schedule. Due to the nearing sunset, Saturdays Race ultimately had to be postponed and will be made up during Round 6 at Sebring International Raceway Sep 22-24. With only Race 1 in the books, RENNtech Motorsports left NOLA with 15 additional points keeping MB Gram #89 RENNtech Motorsports AMG GT4 in the hunt for the championship.

The next race weekend will be held May 19 – 21, at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, TX.

RENNtech Open Garage

On the 22nd of April, we hosted our second Open Garage event. We extended an invitation to our  friends, family, and esteemed customers to participate in a unique and engaging experience. The event provided an opportunity to dive into the technical aspects of our projects, while indulging in delicious snacks and refreshing drinks provided by Celsius and Muscle Vodka and the life size Eurosim F1 simulator.

Public events are a part of car culture, and RENNtech company has participated in dozens of shows, events, and happenings over the past year. As we opened our doors to allow visitors to witness our operations up close, our engineers, techs, and product specialists were available to chat and offer insights into the day-to-day workings of our business. Attendees were able to witness our tuning processes with a Ferrari F488 Spider on the dyno, followed by a TechTalk presentation on the performance development of the AMG GT and GT63 models.

The event was a great success, and we received positive feedback from attendees. We would like to thank everyone who attended, and we look forward to welcoming you to our next Open Garage event.
