Seriously, who is AO Racing Porsche Driver Lauren Henrich?

It depends on where you are in the world Lorin heinrichBecause he is running almost everywhere. If you have come in his name, then you. My first introduction for young porsche driver took Petit, 2024, only after that Imsa GTD Pro category with Weathertch Sportscar Championship win #77 AO Racing Porsche 911-RWR, RexyI also wondered who this young driver was originally expecting him to be an old, experienced professional.

Experienced professional that too, even at the age of 23, in Europe and America, some top -level racing chain podium in a few years, Porsche’s German Carrera Cup, DTM and most recently, including IMSA. And if it was not for a global epidemic with good will and fate – we would not know this young driver who brought the “Rexy” Porsche of AO racing to win the series championship.

Racing was a hobby, not a career route, at least for young Germans in the beginning. It was to do something in his time with his father. But Heinrich said in an interview with Motorsport.com, “Driving around driving in circles without competition became a bit boring,” and both jumped to compete while entering a low-level club sports regional championship. It went quite well, managed to claim some championships. Then he took a brief next step in an “real” car – a formula car attempting.

“I thought it was just to get this experience – to run a race car for once because I knew that we did not have the money to go to a race team and pay them for a season race.”

His father surprised him, to try to compete with an old, used formula car. His small carting team, who helped with the mechanical side of things, came to help in the formula attempt to free. There were no engineers or management. “It was just my father, me and three mechanics,” Henrik shared.

“We also came in the race against big European teams to compete in Formula 4. … We were more than a hobby team, but with the resources that we had, it was difficult. We did it as a year. I did a big race track, my first experience on racing cars, which was very good.

After the break

Henriques used his unexpected break to finish his schooling. After time, a friend worked, a friend offered young German teenager his Porsche Cup car so that he could compete in Germany’s Porsche Sprint Challenge GT4 series – part of Porsche Sports Cup Dewslend. There was also a new team (speed monkey), which did not have a car, and Henrich had a car easily, but not a team. The pair proved to be rich as Heinrich would make his Porsche debut that year and win the 2019 Sprint Challenge Championship at the age of 18.

It was then on the German Carera Cup, which is one of the dozen either the Crown Crown series held globally for clear reasons. Henriques explains that the people in front of the field are also supercup winners-the best of the secrets gives a good reference to a young driver where you are a skill-wise. But even the best racers do not guarantee a ride in the next season. And initially, he will not have a seat in the Carera Cup for 2020. But the epidemic stopped and changed everything to the world, and in particular, Heinrich.

He said, “One thing that really helps me, I would say, now in the handyte, Kovid was,” he said. “We had longer to find sponsors and the season did not begin in March such as (usually). The budget was cheaper to get a seat and we could use the time to make a hard push and find the sponsors who believed in me.

“I could have done the year. I ended several times on the podium (and) (and) the crooks became the champion. Finally, it helped me to secure a very good seat in the Porsche Supercup and the German Carrera Cup.

Earlier in the interview, Heinrich referred to his success in competitive carting as a moment when “Snow Ball began to roll,” that was the beginning, the 2021 season was when the snow ball became largely and ran at a dangerous rate. Henriques won their halted championships at the Supercup that year. He also won his first race in the German Carera Cup. He calls it a very successful year. Oh, and he was only 19 years old. But he says he turned 20 in September – and when he received his invitation for Porsche Junior Shootout, some of the best young Porsche drivers (not in the official factory, who drive the porsche in the Porsche series) to compete as an annual gathering as an Porshe Junior Driver from all over the world.

“I knew it was my chance, and it was always my dream,” he notes. Then the negligence connects, “It was good. I managed to win it.”

Youth Championship winner GT Porsche Driver

The young driver who managed success with his small carting and Formula 4 crew was now officially a Porsche Junior Driver. He will flourish on Porsche’s support, with additional training equipment (junior drivers are tolerated in the program) to make him a better all-round driver for rent. The German brand will be the key to running in DTM – a big moment for a German driver. Somewhere his first taste of endurance race was also with a 24 -hour spa, the management of the fifth place to end. He closes it in the interview, but the rest of us in the room understand that this is a very impressive finish in an outing for the first time.

2022 That was also when he had the first taste of American racing with the North American Carera Cup. While running two races, he won the last race for the season starting with the pole.

“This fell in love with racing in the United States, because I liked Padock, I like the track, the atmosphere here- it’s a little more pure racing, you know what we have in Europe.

“The race on the track is a bit more raw. I mean, it is sometimes difficult, but when we are young we come on the carting track, it is racing.

He used to spend another whole year of GT racing abroad before calling from Gunnar gennet of AO racing, soon the GTD Pro Porsche 911 was needed for the 911 “GT3 Rour”. And if you can believe it, it was Heinrich’s dream to run Rexy. “I think it’s fun – it’s good, he tells me.” And I think Rexy looks Super Pisces. ,

With Henriques, the team won three races in that season, and after a thick start for the last race for the season at Petit Le Mans with Henriques Struggle with a faulty cable on steering wheelHe will manage to bring a Rexy Home for a championship winning title – by four points.

This year, while the ideal will not start for the Detona season (Note Rexy’s Golden Bracese helped cure his smile after an overnight incident) creating for it. Not only Rexy and AO Racing won, Henriques broke the IMSA GTD Pro Race-Lap record in Sebring, not only in #77 car, but twice within the last hour. When I asked him about the car in Sebring and how he managed to move it so soon, he said that “I wanted to drive away from others, and I managed to do it.”

This is something that you can definitely tell of how he has got the amount of success so far in his entire career.
