TIMO BERNHARD: “IT’S TIME TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP”

Timo Bernhard (38, GER) has helped shape the sports car scene as a driver for some 20 years, achieving enormous success wherever he competed – in the 24-hour at the Nürburgring, in the ALMS, at Le Mans and in the FIA World Endurance Championship, the WEC – he triumphed everywhere. Since 2016, he has also been involved in the ADAC GT Masters with Küs Team75 Bernhard and began driving for his outfit in 2018.
