Jonas Ungnader: The boy from custom on the way to the racing driver legend!

A young man from customs follows his dream of becoming a racing driver with all his might. Jonas Unzigen, only 16 years old, has already celebrated some successes in motorsport. His way began when his father wanted to sell a kart on Ebay and instead encouraged him to drive karting. At the age of only 6, Jonas was at the wheel for the first time, and at the age of 7 he was able to receive his first winning cup. Since then he has collected further trophies and established himself as a talented driver. At the moment it belongs to the talent pool of the Porsche GT4 Sports Cup, how Sächsische.de reports.

With a strong appearance at the Porsche GT4 Sports Cup, Jonas already impressed at the first two races in Hockenheim and at the Nürburgring. Here he took the 2nd and 3rd place.

The support of the family and Porsche

Jonas is actively supported by his father Torsten Ungneader, who also trains with him in the Porsche. They often discuss the challenges of racing. Torsten also has concerns; For example, Jonas recently made a concussion. Nevertheless, he trusts the high security standards that apply in racing. In parallel to his training, Jonas also stays up to school. He was the best in the high school in Hartha.

The P1 Racing Team from Metzingen, for which Jonas drives, takes care of the young Porsche and offers him valuable support.
