While he missed out on the Carrera Cup Deutschland title to team-mate Thomas Preining in 2018, Michael Ammermüller did manage to get the better of him and Nick Yelloly in the Porsche Supercup.
The two-time Supercup champion is back once again in a bid to become only the third driver to secure a third title back-to-back after Patrick Huisman, who took four titles in four years, and René Rast who took three titles from 2010-2012.
Ammermüller is also in the hunt for the national title once again with the Lechner squad who had their first race weekend of the year at Hockenheim last weekend.

Like Ammermüller, Evans is also running a Carrera Cup Deutschland campaign and already made an impressive start to his year finishing on the podium at Hockenheim.
