adminTHE 2018 motor racing season could not have started off better for ace Zimbabwean driver Axcil Jefferies and his new German teammate Carrie Shriener. After a very successful debut year in GT Racing in 2017 where Jefferies won the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Middle East Championship and second in the European Championship and in the World Finals (all in the Pro Category), Jefferies took on the challenge of partnering an AM driver for the Pro/Am Championship this year.
Things didn’t all go to plan as in two races the duo of Jefferies and Shriener suffered collisions from behind in first corners which dropped them back to last position and they had to fight and haul themselves through the field to get on to the podiums.
“I have had an amazing start to my 2018 campaign so far, qualifying on pole, breaking lap records, setting fastest race laps and ultimately winning the Championship again. Working with Carrie has been a pleasure and she has really progressed well and improved (in) every lap she has driven.
“I am proud to have been part of her development as a driver and am sure she is destined for great things.
“Most importantly, I am very greatful for the opportunity and belief that Franz Konrad has had in me. We clicked straightaway as a team, my working relationship with the engineer and mechanics has been top class which made it even more of a pleasure to be part of this team.’’ – Voelklingen-im-wandel.de.
