Around two months after his work accident, the 21-year-old has returned to his job as a plant mechanic and to racing too. \u201cIt\u2019s not quite back to normal yet; my leg still hurts after prolonged exertion.\u201d However, his broken right thigh has healed well, and now he just needs to build up his strength again. \u201cI can already use the accelerator again though,\u201d says Colin, glad that it wasn\u2019t his left foot that was injured \u2013 \u201cI use that one for braking, and the brake pedal is quite a bit harder to press.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The initial test drive in the Porsche 911 GT3 R at the Salzburgring in Austria last week went well. \u201cI was able to drive ten consecutive laps without any problems.\u201d Nevertheless, the challenge facing the returning driver this weekend will be a big one. With the ADAC GT Masters endurance weekend approaching, two long 80-minute races await the razoon \u2013 more than racing driver. \u201cI\u2019m confident I can handle the strain in the car, even though the G-forces are really noticeable. The hardest part will be the driver changes, precisely because there are two to complete in each race this time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the goal for the weekend is ambitious: \u201cFirst and foremost, I\u2019m delighted to be back. That said, I want to finish on the podium at my team\u2019s home race.\u201d For Colin B\u00f6nighausen and Leo Pichler, the focus is now on achieving strong results. The races at the Salzburgring mark the start of the final phase of the season, with only the season finale at the Hockenheimring (9\u201311 October) remaining on the calendar after Salzburg (4\u20136 September).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Picture: Axel Weichert<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This coming weekend, the Porsche race car driver from Lower Saxony will make his return to the ADAC GT Masters championship at the Salzburgring, following an injury to his leg. \u201cI\u2019m fine,\u201d says Colin, putting his fans\u2019 minds at ease.
