Nicolas Sgotto will rejoin Absolute Racing as Team Manager after a year with Iron Lynx as Technical Director.
Sgotto initially joined Absolute in 2016 serving as a race engineer. He was a driving force in the Absolute Racing Porsche GT teams and in the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia weekends.
Apart from an overarching management role, he was also the team’s technical director in the GT World Challenge Asia and Intercontinental GT Challenge campaigns in 2019 and 2020.
After his spell with the Iron Lynx GT effort, he will now return to his previous role with Absolute and will also serve as Chief Engineer for the Thailand Super Series team in partnership with B-Quik Racing, and in any other team participation in the region.
Prior to joining Absolute Racing, Nicola enjoyed a successful career as a race engineer in single-seater series.
Team Director Ingo Matter: “We are delight to have Nicola back. He has been a member of the team for a long time and is a key figure in it. He has extensive expertise developing drivers from the ground up to the F1 and bringing gentleman drivers to the international stage. It will benefit our team as we re-establish ourselves in Southeast Asia, and I’m glad to have him back with us.
“He’s been an engineer, team manager, and crew chief, and can impact several of areas of our team. He’ll also be working on our exciting new projects which will come to fruition in the near future. We were happy that he stayed in the circle of racing and winning races and a championship in Europe during the though times of the pandemic in our region. Now it’s time for him to come back home and assist in the development of the team in order to progress to higher levels.”
Nicola Sgotto: “I was a Team Manager and Technical Director for Absolute Racing from 2016 to 2020, and I’m thrilled to be rejoining the team after a brief hiatus. Absolute Racing’s racing programs have always been ambitious, and we can see that the Southeast Asian racing plans this season are no exception. I’m really happy to be back and a part of this massive effort to achieve even greater success.”
