Dinamic Motorsport has confirmed its presence on the Sprint Cup grid for 2021, with Christian Engelhart and Adrien De Leener set to drive the Italian team’s Porsche 911 GT3-R.
The coming season will represent Dinamic’s third Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe Powered by AWS campaign and the first in which it has contested the short format championship. The team have already won two Endurance Cup victories, triumphing at Monza in 2019 and last year at the Nürburgring.
This quarter he will enter the full 10-round season, with Engelhart set to fight for the combined series title as part of the Sprint and Endurance crews. The experienced German ace was previously the winner of the Sprint Cup with the Lamborghini Grasser Racing outfit.
De Leener competed in last year’s Endurance Cup as part of Dinamic’s Silver crew and is now competing for the overall victory with the team. The 31-year-old had already played in the Sprint Cup with Belgian Audi Club Team WRT in 2018.
The announcement means the Porsche name will return to the sprint grid for the first time since 2019, when the Dinamic team made a unique appearance at the Hungaroring. A Porsche crew has yet to run a full Sprint campaign, although several teams have used the German marque’s cars in the short-format championship.
Dinamic joins AKKA ASP for having recently confirmed their intention to run the full schedule of the Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe Powered by AWS. The French team have announced a pair of Pro rosters for the Sprint Cup and another to participate in endurance events. The 2021 season will officially kick off with two days of testing at Circuit Paul Ricard (March 25/26), followed by the opening race at Monza on April 16 and 18.
