Lorenzo, the three-time MotoGP champion who has now switched to four-w🌺heel racing, was competing in the Porsche Supercup for the first time.

Last⛎ season he raced in the Porsche Carrera Cup Ital﷽ia.

He qualified for Sunday’s race, whic🧸h came ahead of the F1 Monaco Gr☂and Prix, in 24th.

“I prepared for 🧜this race by playing video ꦑgames and in the simulator,” he teased. 

“So basically I know where the corners are. 

“But of course, it’s something very different 𝐆to drive a Porsche 911 GT3 Cup on this unique racetrack. I have to admit, it’s tougher than I expected. 

“The smallest mistake and you end up in the crash barrier. Nevertheless, it is a terrific feeling to experience this incomparable atmosphere ꦰand the fans in the packed gran𓃲dstands.”
