We managed to get a podium from P14 on the grid which is really promising for us going forwards. We still have a lot of work to do as the competition is extremely strong this year. The crew did a great job, and I can\u2019t wait for the next round.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong>JOSH BURDON<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>\u201cIt was a successful first weekend to begin our N\u00fcrburgring season. The team worked hard over the winter to be ready, so it felt great to score a podium and start the season strongly. We can take plenty of positives from this event and I\u2019m very excited to continue working with KCMG and to keep preparing for the N\u00fcrburgring 24 Hours.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong>MATT HOWSON <\/strong>TEAM MANAGER<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cIt was a solid weekend for the team, taking KCMG\u2019s first ever NLS podium was the perfect start as we prepare for the N\u00fcrburgring 24 Hours in May. Dennis and Josh drove strongly, and the whole crew can be proud of keeping up the momentum we built at Daytona. It\u2019s clear we\u2019re feeling good, but our competitors are also working hard so we have to keep improving to be ready for one of hardest endurance races in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong>PAUL IP<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>KCMG FOUNDER<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cThe team had a fantastic start to their 2022 N\u00fcrburgring campaign and I\u2019m delighted to see KCMG take its first podium in NLS. It gives us great confidence for the upcoming rounds and for the 24-hour race. Dennis and Josh did brilliantly to come through the field and the car performed strongly around the Nordschleife. The team has done a great job and we\u2019re very determined to continue this run of success and to keep fighting at the front. I want to thank Porsche Motorsport Asia Pacific for their support in 2022, and I hope for more success together this season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-10519\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCMG-kicks-off-2022-Nurburgring-campaign-in-style-with-first-NLS-podium3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCMG-kicks-off-2022-Nurburgring-campaign-in-style-with-first-NLS-podium3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCMG-kicks-off-2022-Nurburgring-campaign-in-style-with-first-NLS-podium3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCMG-kicks-off-2022-Nurburgring-campaign-in-style-with-first-NLS-podium3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCMG-kicks-off-2022-Nurburgring-campaign-in-style-with-first-NLS-podium3-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCMG-kicks-off-2022-Nurburgring-campaign-in-style-with-first-NLS-podium3.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-10520\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCMG-kicks-off-2022-Nurburgring-campaign-in-style-with-first-NLS-podium4-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCMG-kicks-off-2022-Nurburgring-campaign-in-style-with-first-NLS-podium4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCMG-kicks-off-2022-Nurburgring-campaign-in-style-with-first-NLS-podium4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCMG-kicks-off-2022-Nurburgring-campaign-in-style-with-first-NLS-podium4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCMG-kicks-off-2022-Nurburgring-campaign-in-style-with-first-NLS-podium4-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCMG-kicks-off-2022-Nurburgring-campaign-in-style-with-first-NLS-podium4.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-10521\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCMG-kicks-off-2022-Nurburgring-campaign-in-style-with-first-NLS-podium5-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCMG-kicks-off-2022-Nurburgring-campaign-in-style-with-first-NLS-podium5-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCMG-kicks-off-2022-Nurburgring-campaign-in-style-with-first-NLS-podium5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCMG-kicks-off-2022-Nurburgring-campaign-in-style-with-first-NLS-podium5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCMG-kicks-off-2022-Nurburgring-campaign-in-style-with-first-NLS-podium5-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCMG-kicks-off-2022-Nurburgring-campaign-in-style-with-first-NLS-podium5.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-10522\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCMG-kicks-off-2022-Nurburgring-campaign-in-style-with-first-NLS-podium6-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCMG-kicks-off-2022-Nurburgring-campaign-in-style-with-first-NLS-podium6-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCMG-kicks-off-2022-Nurburgring-campaign-in-style-with-first-NLS-podium6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCMG-kicks-off-2022-Nurburgring-campaign-in-style-with-first-NLS-podium6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCMG-kicks-off-2022-Nurburgring-campaign-in-style-with-first-NLS-podium6-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCMG-kicks-off-2022-Nurburgring-campaign-in-style-with-first-NLS-podium6.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For more information about\u00a0KCMG\u00a0please visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1551799538735000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEEC6r99A0sc8MF5dPRr_J0nC2Yuw\">www.kcmg.com.hk<\/a>.
