Reiter Engineering driver Christopher Haase concluded a successful season with a highlight at the Adria Raceway. Haase made his first steps towards a potential career boost around the tight and twisty circuit 50 kilometres south of Venice. The 19-year old Haase sat at the wheel of a GT1 Lamborghini Murciélago R-GT for the first time. “Christopher really did an excellent job, he gave a lot of valuable input and certainly didn’t harm him his chances making more outings in the GT car,” stated Team Boss Hans Reiter.

Following his first year of motorsport in the Dacia Logan Cup, Haase stepped up to the Lamborghini Gallardo GT3 in 2007 with which he contested the ADAC GT Masters and claimed five victories on the way to winning the title in this new GT3 series. Italian ex-Formula 1 driver Gianni Morbidelli and Belgian sportscar driver Jos Menten were the experienced co-drivers alongside Haase throughout the season. In addition to the German championship he also made guest starts with the Gallardo GT3 in the FIA GT3 European Championship in Bucharest and at Brno.

Christopher Haase will compete together with Albert von Thurn und Taxis once again at the wheel of a Reiter Engineering Lamborghini Gallardo in the ADAC GT Masters in 2008.

In addition to his job as Mechatronic technician at Reiter Engineering a social event awaited the young champion after the test day. Christopher Haase attended the “Goldenen Lenkrads” prize giving at the Axel Springer Haus in Berlin as guest together with Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton. This international award has been presented by the “Bild am Sonntag” newspaper since 1976.
