Team rhino’s Leipert starts the season with 7 drivers at the ADAC Masters Weekend in Oscherleben

Team rhino's Leipert from Wegberg starts into the season with a lot of HP when they participate in the ADAC Masters Weekend event in the Magdeburger Börde.

Drivers Martin Mutzke (CZ), Stian Sørlie (NO), Norman Knop (GER) and Marcel Leipert (GER) are part of the team around Team Manager Ingo Leipert; so conditions couldn't be better for mixing up the ADAC GT Masters with two Ascari KZ1R GT3 made by sports car manufacturer Klaas Zwart in the UK.

After extensive test sessions at the "Ascari Race Resort" (owned by Ascari) in Ronda (Spain) in March, the Team took the ad-hoc decision to also bring the third Ascari KZ1R GT3 to Germany. It is currently being converted into a long distance racing car for the 24h Dubai and 24h Nürnburgring race. The Team also plans to participate several times in the VLN.

Team Manager Ingo Leipert says: "Cooperation with Ascari is running perfectly. As exclusive Sale & Service Partner of Ascari Cars in Germany, we have their full support."

The Team is also perfectly placed in ADAC Procar Div. II with two Ford Fiesta ST cars and drivers Benedikt Boeckels and Sebastian Voges. Boeckels has a high chance of winning this year's title.

Luca Iannaccone from Rome is once again racing for the Team in the ATS Formula 3 Trophy. This season, he drives a Dallara Opel Spiess and fights for important points in the Trophy ranking.

Team sponsor rhino's energy GmbH from Munich is sponsoring the three GT3 drivers Martin Mutzke, Stian Sørlie and Marcel Leipert.

Marco Zielinski, CEO of rhino's energy: "We are focusing sponsorship on the GT sport this year due to the symbiosis of HP-strong Ascari KZ1R GT3 cars and our slogan: Be wild! As a team with Team rhino's Leipert and the Ascari cars we are to be reckoned with."

Team Manager Ingo Leipert: "We aim for the top this season and do all we can to reach our goals."

The next race in Assen (NL) is held from 08 - 10 May 09. Team rhino's Leipert is starting with their GT Masters and Procar cars.
