Adcash and Race Performance: The Road to Le Mans

Technology. Innovation. Teamwork. Endurance. These are all things that you need to thrive in both the world of digital marketing and in motorsport. For the last two years, Adcash has been proud to partner with teams racing at the prestigious Le Mans 24 hours endurance race.

And this year is no exception. We will be getting behind a long-term friend of the Adcash family: Swiss driver, Niki Leutwiler. Having already achieved phenomenal success at the Asian Le Mans Series, resulting in an overall victory for that season, continuing that partnership for the European Le Mans Series was a foregone conclusion.

Building on success

Having taken the title in last year’s Asian Le Mans Series, thanks to an incredible all-around performance from the whole team, Race Performance was in a great position to contend for the title in this year’s European Le Mans Series.

Their season will culminate at this year’s Le Mans 24 hour endurance race. This race is the pinnacle of endurance motorsport. With cars ranging from GT cars, you’d recognize LMP prototypes that would look more at home at some kind of space operations center.

Race Performance at the 4 Hours of Imola

Their most recent race in Imola was a treacherous one. The 4-hour race was marred by heavy rains, making conditions extremely slippery for all the drivers. Despite the conditions (and a spin, involving a Ferrari GT race car), Niki and the team brought the car home in 9th place. Not an ideal finish, but finishing alone in endurance racing is a feat in and of itself.

Speaking after the race, Niki said “It started quite well for me, for the first time this weekend I found a really good rhythm. On the straight, I was pushed by this white GT-Ferrari, who forced me into a high-speed 180-degree spin. Quite a harsh experience, nothing you need at all. Fortunately, I did not hit anything and was able to continue immediately, but of course, the tires were ruined. I still tried to continue with this set until the rain started, which I managed to do, but I could not attack as aggressively as before. When the rain turned really heavy and I wanted to come in to hand the car over to Shinji, I got aquaplaning and spun again, but luckily I was able to catch the car again and still come into the pits, so it did not make much of a difference and we could keep our position in this crazy race.”

Next stop: Le Mans

After Imola, the team will be spending time preparing for the race in Le Mans. In just under a month’s time, the team will be lining up on the grid to compete in one of the most prestigious events in motorsport. And Adcash will be riding alongside them as they chase down success.

Stay tuned as we join Race Performance on the Road to Le Mans.
