J2Racing - NLS Race 3 TWO FOR TWO!
After race practice on Friday, things were going well and the team were feeling confident. Moritz had put down a very respectable sub-8 lap at 7m57s, and Janine was pulling comfortably at in the 8-teens.
In fact, they were feeling so good they called the day early, doing the most to keep themselves fresh for the big event the next day.
Qualification on the Saturday went really well with the team qualifying in first position - except for the slight hiccup of a speeding infraction under a red flag, meaning that the car would start from the back of the grid!
However, Janine and Moritz fought through to bring home the class win again for round 3 of the Nüburgring NLS, making it two wins from two races!
Things are heating up this season, so keep watching and supporting the team!
J2Racing - NLS Race 2 CLASS WINNERS!
Oh, what a feeling!
After the disappointment of the weather cancellation from race 1, exicitment was high for round 2 of the Nürburgring NLS endurance championship. Weather leading up to the race had been spotty to say the least - but we shouldn't have been worried.
Qualifying went really well for Janine and Moritz, ending up with the J2-Racing team starting in position 1 in the SP9 AM class for the race - and things only got better from there. The two drivers went on to complete the four hour race in First position, a great result and the perfect way to start the racing season!
Congratulations to them both and hang on tight for round 3, coming up in two short weeks!
J2Racing - NLS Race 1 CANCELLED!
Well, that was frustrating!
The weather in the Eifel just did not want to play ball at round 1 of the Nürburgring NLS endurance championship. After completing a successful testing session on Friday, and even holding out through Qualifications on Saturday, the Nürburgring lived up to it's temperamental reputation and turned into the "white hell" as snow fell and covered the landscape.
Not much to do but watch and wait - and hope for better weather for round 2: coming up in 3 short weeks!
J2Racing - Updates for the 2021 Season
First space, then the Green Hell
The fact that John will not take turns driving the Mercedes-AMG GT3 with his wife Janine in 2021 has a direct connection with the new vehicle sponsor Axiom Space. The space infrastructure company from the USA accompanies private individuals on their journey to the international space station ISS - from training to the flight itself.
For John, this is a lifelong dream come true and he is currently diligently preparing as a backup mission pilot for Ax-1, the first fully private mission in history to the ISS, scheduled for 2022. “Even as a child, I dreamed of flying into space,” says Shoffner. “Now this dream is becoming a reality. To do this, I will take a year off my second great passion, racing."
