Jorge Lorenzo did not hide it: he is now thinking about running on four wheels.
It is therefore with this in mind that he temporarily abandoned the Supercars parked in his garage in favor of a 3 hp Porsche GT485 Cup on the Lombard track of the Porsche Experience Center of Franciacorta in Castrezzato, near Brescia, so not very away from his home in Lugano.
The test took place with the victorious car in 2021 and in the company of the local Italian driver Alberto Cerqui, the latest winner of the Italian Carrera Cup.
After carefully listening to the advice ofAlberto Cerqui and did a few laps in the wet, Por Fuera found, however, that “the track at the Porsche Experience Center is the ideal track for learning to race, complete and hyper-modern” and drive the Porche GT3 “always fascinating”.
Alberto Cerqui: “I was lucky and privileged to be chosen by a champion like Lorenzo for his debut on four wheels. It was a great opportunity for personal growth to be able to speak to a world champion. I was surprised and amazed by Lorenzo's choice to rely on me as a tutor to learn the secrets of driving the Porsche. At the end of this day of testing together, I can say that Lorenzo certainly does not lack speed in his blood or knowledge of the track. He has only traveled a few kilometers behind the wheel of racing cars, but I was amazed by his driving qualities and his spirit of adaptation. “
Jorge Lorenzo has never hidden his passion for fast cars, but we should think that he will still follow in the footsteps of his former teammate Valentino Rossi who is preparing to complete a first full season on four wheels, undoubtedly with an almost official Ferrari, after its traditional race in Abu Dhabi next January?
No one knows the future, and the two men will undoubtedly be able to talk about it this weekend in Tavullia where the Mallorcan is invited to the 100 km Race of Champions, but we are probably not about to see another clash in track between the two ex-roommates of the Yamaha box…
