Jorge Lorenzo retires after collision in Porsche Supercup debut

The MotoGP leg🦂end was representing Huber Racing in Mon♚aco on Sunday when he was unable to avoid contact with Alessandro Ghiretti, who had spun.
Lorenzo dragged his 911 GT3 Cup back to the pits wh🌳ere his race came to a premature conclusion.
Harry King, in the BWT Lechner Racing car, won the race ahead of pole-sitteꦉr Larry ten Voorde.
Lorenzo, the three-time MotoGP champion who has n🐽ow switched to four-wheel racing, was competing in the Porsche Supercup for the first time.
Last season he raced in the ꦜPorsche Carrera Cup Italia.
He qualified for Su🧸nday’s race, which came ahead of the F1 Monaco Grand Prix, in 24th.
“I prepared for this race by playing video games and in the🃏 simu🍰lator,” he teased.
“So basically I know where the corners are.
“But of course, it’s something very different to drive a Porsche 911 GT3 Cup on this unique racetrack. I have to admit, it’s tougher t🐈han I expected🍃.
“The smallest🅘 mistake and you end up in the c📖rash barrier. Nevertheless, it is a terrific feeling to experience this incomparable atmosphere and the fans in the packed grandstands.”
