Lorenzo, the three-time MotoGP champion who has n🐽ow switched to four-wheel racing, was competing in the Porsche Supercup for the first time.

Last season he raced in the ꦜPorsche Carrera Cup Italia.

He qualified for Su🧸nday’s race, which came ahead of the F1 Monaco Grand Prix, in 24th.

“I prepared for this race by playing video games and in the🃏 simu🍰lator,” he teased. 

“So basically I know where the corners are. 

“But of course, it’s something very different to drive a Porsche 911 GT3 Cup on this unique racetrack. I have to admit, it’s tougher t🐈han I expected🍃. 

“The smallest🅘 mistake and you end up in the c📖rash barrier. Nevertheless, it is a terrific feeling to experience this incomparable atmosphere and the fans in the packed grandstands.”
