At the first race of the season on Saturday, ten Voorde beat his Swedish teammate Henric Skoog and Berkay Besler (TR/Car Collection Motorsport). “I’ve been working hard all winter for this season-opening round. It’s simply great to be rewarded in this way. The setup of the vehicle was chosen so that I could pull clear of the field in the first half of the race,” said ten Voorde. In sunshine and temperatures of 12 degrees Celsius, 31 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup racers rolled to the grid as part of the DTM support programme. Ten Voorde (Overdrive Racing by Huber) converted pole position into a lead but was unable to pull away from the field immediately due to an early safety car phase. At the restart, the 22-year-old demonstrated his experience by defending his front position and gradually extended his advantage on the 4.574-kilometre racetrack lap by lap. As a consequence, van Lagen (NL/Förch Racing) was unable to put any serious pressure on his compatriot. The Förch driver crossed the finish in second place after 16 laps 0.6 seconds behind ten Voorde. “My start was super and decisive for second place. In the last laps I was able to reduce the gap a little, but over the weekend Larry ten Voorde was faster than me,” said van Lagen.
Thomas Preining has concluded the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland season perfectly: After the Porsche Junior was crowned champion thanks to his victory at Saturday’s race, Preining followed up with another win at round 14 on Sunday. Taking up the race from pole position in his Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, Preining refused to give up the lead spot over the entire distance. Just as the racing driver from Linz had built up a one-second advantage on the storied German racetrack, two vehicles collided in the midfield, resulting in the race being interrupted while the racetrack was cleared. After the restart, Ammermüller stuck close to the bumper of Preining’s 911. However, the German driver found no way past the Austrian to secure the lead spot. After 13 laps, 20-year-old Preining swept over the finish line as the winner 0.4 seconds ahead of Ammermüller. For the youngster, this marked his tenth victory in the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland. “Thomas Preining was so fast today that there was never really a chance for me to overtake him. After the restart I managed to put on the pressure, but unfortunately the race was over shortly afterwards,” said Ammermüller.
Larry ten Voorde has won the first race of the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland season. At Saturday’s event, the Dutchman took the flag in first place ahead of his compatriot Jaap van Lagen and Porsche-Junior Jaxon Evans. On the Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg, ten Voorde kicked off the 30th anniversary season of the one-make cup with a lights-to-flag victory. “Starting the season with a victory is awesome. Still, the race was hard work. I couldn’t take the racing line in the first laps because of the wet track surface, so it required a great deal of skill,” said ten Voorde.Rain during the morning had made the asphalt wet in some sections of the racetrack. Nevertheless, almost all of the 30 drivers took off into the race on slicks under cloudy skies and with a temperature of eight degrees Celsius. Right from the start, ten Voorde underlined his aspirations to win and immediately pulled clear of the field in his 485 hp Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. Two safety car phases, however, bunched the field together again, but the 22-year-old kept his cool at the restarts and took the flag 1.8 seconds ahead of van Lagen. The Förch-Pilot crossed the finish line in second after beating Porsche-Junior Evans in a duel. “The asphalt of my grid spot was still wet and cold, so my tyres weren’t at the ideal temperature at the start of the race,” explained van Lagen. “Still, I’m very pleased with my race.”
