Reggae Racers climb to fifth in competitive ADAC GT4 Germany Race

SPIELBERG, Austria — Jamaica’s dynamic driving duo, Tommi Gore and Senna Summerbell, delivered two commendable performances at the Red Bull Ring in Styria, during the fifth race of the ADAC GT4 Germany series, securing two top-15 finishes over the weekend.

Representing Avia W&S Motorsport in their Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Club Sport, the team, dubbed the Reggae Racers, finished 14th in the first race after qualifying in ninth place. Despite showing strong pace early on, they slipped down the order in a highly competitive race.

However, Gore and Summerbell bounced back with an impressive performance in the second race, climbing nine places from their fourth-place qualifying to finish fifth.

First win of the series

The event was topped by Jan Marschalkowski and Philipp Gogollok of Eastside Motorsport, who claimed their first win of the series, while their Avia W&S Motorsport teammates, Finn Zulauf and Josef Knopp, finished second.

With a strong showing, the Jamaican pair will be looking to further improve as they prepare for the season finale at Hockenheim from October 18-20.

“I am so happy to be a part of this team and ready to end the year strong,” said Gore. “We had a big jump in results from the start of the season with this change, so we can only expect things to get better from here.”

Currently, Avia W&S Motorsport sits second in the team standings on 179 points, just 11 points behind Hofor Racing, the series leaders.
