The tankpool24 Racing team will be competing in the rally for the title on eight racing weekends. This season, Steffen Faas will make his debut in a tankpool24 race truck cockpit backing long-time racing veteran Norbert Kiss. A trained car mechanic, 35‑year old Faas took his first steps on the truck race track in 2017 following a long and successful career in motor sports. One of his many victories occurred when he claimed the title in the KTM X‑BOW Battle. “I’m extremely excited to be part of the tankpool24 Racing Team and to have in Norbert Kiss such an experienced and successful team mate. The 2018 racing season is going to be a thrilling experience for us”, says team rookie Steffen Faas.
The tankpool24 Racing Team crowned the previous season with an impressive 4th place in the overall team standings of the FIA European Truck Racing Championship. Delivering a tremendous performance all throughout the season, Norbert Kiss improved to a fantastic 3rd place in the overall drivers’ standings. “Our goal for 2018 is to follow up on last season’s success and further improve our result in the overall team standings. I look forward to joining efforts with Steffen Faas and the entire tankpool24 team and to celebrate another successful racing season” says Norbert Kiss in anticipation of the upcoming races.
Throughout the season, Norbert Kiss and Steffen Faas can once again rely on the quality of the MEYLE parts and the expertise of the MEYLE engineers who will collaborate closely with the racing squad also in 2018. For the fifth consecutive year, the tankpool24 Racing Team will rely on MEYLE parts to deliver the same level of quality and durability the team has come to appreciate throughout previous years when equipping their race trucks with MEYLE‑ORIGINAL engine mounts, rpm sensors and clutch boosters.
