Le Mans Cup title winner Laurents Hörr and Matthias Lüthen are set to drive for Koiranen Kemppi Motorsport in this year’s Prototype Cup Germany season.
The pair will drive the Finnish team’s brand new Duqueine D08 chassis which is set to be delivered to the team in the coming weeks.
“(The car not yet being available) means that we have not yet been able to do any testing together,” says Lüthen. “However, we have some test drives planned ahead of the season-opener in the Prototype Cup Germany in April at the Hockenheimring. We are working out the dates for that at the moment.”
