No spectators, but a lot of enthusiasm, anticipation and a very special action on the Porsche 911 GT3 R from KÜS Team75 Bernhard with the starting number 17: The team of the two-times endurance world champion and double winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans Timo Bernhard is going to remind on the unforgotten racing driver Stefan Bellof with a special design on the car with the driver pairing Simona de Silvestro and Klaus Bachler. Bernhard and the brother of the former racing driver from Gießen - Georg „Goa“ Bellof met to talk as part of the presentation of the vehicle with the special painting. Bernhard expressed his admiration for the 1984 endurance world champion back in 2015 when he adapted the design of his helmet to that of Bellof at a WEC race in Spa-Francorchamps. With the campaign in Hockenheim, the KÜS Team75 Bernhard pays tribute to Bellof's victory at this very racetrack in 1982 in Formula 2.
