Yannic Prümper joins Thunder Power RC

Known throughout Europe as one of the rising stars of touring car racing, 17 year old Yannic Prümper will join 3-time World Champion Marc Rheinard, Viktor Wilck and Thomas Pumpler to represent Team Thunder Power RC. Yannic is relatively new to the top level racing circuit with only a couple years of racing under his belt, this rookie has made all the Pros take notice. Yannic recently raced in the Euro Touring Series (ETS) which finished the sixth round of competition in Andernach, Germany. His skills were well matched to compete among the Pros, as Yannic finished in 3rd place overall for both the race event and ETS series points. Yannic finished just behind fellow TPRC team driver Marc Rheinard and his Yokomo team mate Ronald Volker. “Thunder Power RC will bring a new dimension to my competition level performance. I am looking forward to using the Z3R brushless motors and LiPo batteries.” states Yannic Prumper. “I am excited to be a part of the Thunder Power RC team.”
