Prototype Cup Germany: The Toksport WRT Ligier JS P320 wins the championship!

The final round of the Prototype Cup Germany took place on the Hockenheim circuit in Germany. The Ligier JS P320 scored a double podium thanks to #14 entered by MRS GT-Racing. Toksport WRT's #7 clinched the championship title, the sixth this season for the LMP3 built by the French constructor.

Race 1 got off to an action-packed start as the championship leader, the #7 Ligier JS P320 run by Toksport WRT and driven by Berkay Besler and Marvin Dienst, tagged another competitor. The car was too badly damaged in the accident to continue and had to retire on the spot. At the same moment, #14 run by MRS GT-Racing with Rory Penttinen at the wheel in second place hit another LMP3 and spun. It fell back to 10th and fought its way back up the order crossing the finishing line in third place!

The start of the final race of the season was given the next day. The #14 MRS GT-Racing Ligier JS P320, which qualified fifth on the grid, made a great getaway gaining three places and installing itself in second spot. #7 entered by Toksport WRT was third, but dropped back to fifth after its driver change. The #14 LMP3 took the chequered flag in second place while behind #7 run by Toksport WRT finished fourth.

Hopefully, we will continue our partnership and have successes together. ”, enthusiastic Berkay Belser said. “I've worked with Toksport in GT3 racing before and knew when we enter into Prototypes, that we‘ll be starting super strong. Felt quickly confident inside the car. It‘s been a great year together and I'm looking forward to keep competing in Prototype class. A big thanks goes to Toksport and Ligier for their support! ”, added Marvin Dienst.
