.. and miss out the DTM race at Oschersleben

Team Kolles enjoyed a very good Le Mans debut with the Audi R10 TDi, claiming two top 10 positions in their first year. The team will build on that success in the Le Mans Series, and one of the leading forces in that first Le Mans race for the team was Dane Christian Bakkerud.

Christian is racing a full 2009 season in both the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters and the Le Mans Series for Team Kolles. Both series have arranged for races at the same time, at two different locations in Europe.

The next race for Bakkerud is the 31st of July, where the DTM will guest Motorsport Arena Oschersleben in Germany, and the LMS will debut on the Motodromo Algarve circuit in Portugal.

“I have discussed the matter very intensely with the team, “ Bakkerud explains. “I have obligations in both the DTM and the LMS series, racing in the same weekend. If we could, I would have loved to race both series at the same time.”

“The team and I concluded that it would be in our best interest, to focus my efforts in the series where I have the best chance of victory. I love racing in the DTM, which is one of the best Touringcar championships in the world. But in the Le Mans Series we have the best chance of success, and the team will definitely do everything they can to get us on the podium.”

The 1000 km race at Algarve will as always feature two Team Kolles Audi R10 TDi sportscars, and Christian will share the #15 car with the Le Mans proven crew of Christijan Albers and Georgio Mondini.

Before the 1000 km race at Algarve at the end of July, Christian Bakkerud will race the upcoming DTM race at Zandvoort on the 17th of July, and all the following DTM races in the 2009 calendar.
