New date scheduled for the Spaniard driver of Kurdish heritage in the International GT Open. Teaming up with Dimitris Deverikos and driving the Autorlando Sport Porsche 997 GT3 R under Barzani Racing Team banner, Tutumlu arrives to Germany with excellent past memories.

Isaac Tutumlu approaches a new meeting in the International GT Open, the championship where he ́s participating this year carrying the Kurdish colors all over Europe. The Spaniard driver of Kurdish roots has performed pretty well so far driving the Autorlando Sport Porsche 997 GT3 R with his teammate Dimitris Deverikos, and clinching his maiden podium in Portugal.

Tutumlu is going to race at Nürburgring, a track bringing back some good memories, as he explains because “I made my debut in the Porsche Supercup there, four years ago. I like Nürburgring, and in my opinion is a suitable track for our car. Fast bends and other sectors where a good engine is a big help are two good features for our vehicle”. The well- experienced GT driver stressed that “we proved our competitiveness at Paul Ricard, and then at Algarve track we moved a step forward clinching a double podium finish, both in the International GT Open and Spanish Iber GT series. As I ́ve said before, I like Nürburgring and forecast predicts rain. Everyone knows the weather is an important issue in Germany, and it could be our ally for good results. Everyone at Autorlando Sport is really motivated, the team has already won there and my results have been good as well, so… Last but not least Autorlando Sport is fielding a second car for Jeroen Bleekemolen, a Porsche star and close friend of mine, so we ́ll have a second car to work on the correct set-up”.

Free practice sessions are taking place tomorrow, with two sessions scheduled. Then on Saturday Q1 starts at 09.00 and then race one – 70 minutes- is due to start at 16.00. Race two on Sunday starts at 12.00 and the starting grid will be decided after Q2 also taking place on Saturday.
