Brisky youth
New series, new pilots, new partner, new design: At Team75 - almost everything is new.
The team from Landstuhl in the Palatinate will be more involved again in the future
of promoting young talent and is fielding two Porsche 911s in the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany
GT3 Cup of the latest 992 series for promising talents. When choosing the
Team75 therefore relies entirely on young people for pilots.
Robert De Haan will drive the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup with starting number 14. The 17-year-old Dutchman from Eerbeck won the title in the German Junior Kart Championship in 2019. In 2021, he impressed, among other things, in his appearances in Formula 4 and the Ginetta Junior Championship. In 2023 he became champion in the Porsche Carrera Cup Benelux and sixth in the British Porsche Carrera Cup. In a guest start in the Porsche Supercup he finished second at Silverstone.
Janne Stiak will sit in the cockpit of the sister car with starting number 15. After his time in karting, the 17-year-old from Steinhude (Wunstorf) entered the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany in 2023, making him the youngest driver ever in this one-make cup. At the end of the season he finished fourth in the junior ranking, in addition to 15th place overall. In the Porsche Carrera Cup Middle East he took second place overall. Janne has been a member of the Porsche Talent Pool since 2023.
A new main partner of Team75 Motorsport is CELSA Messgeräte GmbH from Römerberg in the Palatinate. CELSA provides solutions for measuring, storing and evaluating electrical measurements.
In the future, the pharmaceutical company URSAPHARM, especially with its HYLO brand, will play an even more prominent role in Team75 and will increasingly present itself on the two Porsches.
The new beginning is also symbolized by the future, very dynamic appearance of the Team75 cars: the primary colors of black and white are dominant on both Porsches, with one side each being foiled accordingly. There are also several applications in the well-known colors red and blue, which are characteristic of Team75 Motorsport.
Further color accents also serve to make it easier to distinguish: Robert De Haan's car with starting number 14 will have blue exterior mirrors, while Janne Stiak's Porsche with starting number 15 will have red exterior mirrors.
#14 Robert De Haan: “I’m really happy about the collaboration with Team75 Motorsport. I'm new to the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany, and the team is also joining again. But they have a lot of experience and I appreciate them giving me this chance to work together. I think we will do a good job, we will work hard for it.”
#15 Janne Stiak: “The decision to drive for Team75 Motorsport was very easy for me. After all, they have a lot of experience and the career of team owner Timo Bernhard is of course remarkable anyway. I am very grateful that I can now drive for Team75 and will of course do everything I can so that we can be successful together.”
Team owner Timo Bernhard: “I am very proud that we will be making our return to the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany with a very competitive package. A huge talent from the Porsche Motorsport pyramid will be in starting number 14: Robert De Haan is the reigning champion in the Carrera Cup Benelux. In the sister car with starting number 15, an even younger driver is starting his second Carrera Cup season: Janne Stiak has shown an impressive learning curve, most recently when he started in the Carrera Cup Middle East. For this purpose, our crew of engineers and mechanics, who have already proven themselves in the DTM, will be in action under the project management of team boss Jennifer Leising.
We've refreshed our design a bit, but the familiar Team75 signature colors are unmistakable. This recognition value is very important to me.
Many of our long-standing supporters have remained with us, and we have also been able to gain a new main partner from our region: With the company Celsa from Römerberg, a company in the field of measurement technology, we will have an absolute star in this industry at our side in the future. To this end, the HYLO brand from the URSAPHARM group of companies has intensified its commitment to us. With this overall package we are well prepared, I am really looking forward to this season in the Carrera Cup Germany.”
Team boss Jennifer Leising: “The new design of our vehicles is extremely cool. Our proven and new partners will be very well represented. As a driver we have Robert De Haan, a very young talent with a lot of potential, he won the Porsche Carrera Cup Benelux last year. I think he will show us many exciting races. Our second driver is Janne Stiak. He is also a very young and very talented pilot who will certainly give us good and successful performances. We are competing in the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany with a very young team. I’m looking forward to the season and am very excited to see what we can achieve together.”
