Luca Bosco (left) and his teammate Mattis Pluschkell achieved their best result of the season in the German Championship last Saturday.

Last weekend, on the Nürburgring circuit, 20-year-old Luca Bosco from the French Riviera and his 19-year-old teammate Mattis Pluschkell finished 2nd in the first race of the 4th round of the German Championship, and also placed 7th in the second race. This result is further proof of Bosco’s capability to perform on the GT4 stage as a member of ASAC from Nice.

In a race with challenging conditions and fierce competition, Luca, driving his trusty Mercedes, demonstrated his talent. He stood out by securing second place in race one, which also meant victory in the junior category.

Luca Bosco: „Given the conditions, it wasn’t easy to be fast, but the car was perfect. There were a few intense duels during my stint, but I managed to come out on top. I really enjoyed myself! I’m very happy for the whole team.”

Mattis Pluschkell, his teammate: „It was a great race for us. At the start, I had to get a feel for the conditions, but I managed to maintain speed well. I then handed the car over to Luca in fourth position. He did an excellent job and moved us up by two places.”

This performance once again proves that Luca Bosco is a rising star in the GT4 scene, in a championship he considers highly competitive. „For me, ADAC is the number one GT4 championship. Just look at the lineup, the drivers, and the teams. It’s a step above the European Series, in my opinion,” the young 20-year-old driver had said in an interview with Nice-Matin last April.

It was shortly before he returned to competition in Germany after being away from racing for a year and a half due to a manager who didn’t fulfill commitments. Now back, Luca hopes to continue his upward momentum. The next step is the 5th round of the championship at the Red Bull Ring in Austria from September 27 to 29.
