For the BWT Lechener Racing team, the Red Bull Ring was the home race and the Austrian team did not disappoint the approximately 40,000 fans who crowded the stands thanks to the success achieved by Dylan Pereira, in third place by Bastian Buus and in fourth. by Harry King. Only the presence of Laurin Heinrich in second position prevented Lechener Racing from monopolizing the entire podium.
Thomas Laudenbach, Porsche Motorsport Vice President, was impressed by the fourth round of the season of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup at the Red Bull Ring: “Thirty years of the Porsche Supercup: an extraordinary period of time for the international flagship of our single-make trophies. Such a success is only possible thanks to the professionalism of all those involved, drivers, teams and organizers. At Spielberg we once again witnessed a race full of exciting fights. They are great car racing and that’s exactly what makes the Supercup so special. “
Pereira has always controlled the operations from the start. The Luxembourgian maintained the lead despite two brief neutralizations with the safety car: “I have experienced worse starts. My car worked perfectly today and I am completely satisfied. The fact that he is now leading the championship is something I didn’t expect, ”Pereira admitted after the race.
The same satisfaction was expressed by Laurin Heinrich, second under the checkered flag: “I started well and managed to pass Harry King at the first corner. Larry, however, was a tough nut to crack at first. Also I was busy defending myself from Marvin Klein. In my rearview mirror I noticed his overtaking attempt which ultimately knocked Larry out of the race, “explained the 20-year-old German who finished the first half of the season in second place, just two points behind category leader Pereira.
In the ranking reserved for rookies Bastian Buus remains undefeated. The Dane gained six positions in the race, a feat no one else in the leading group has been able to do. “I have no words, it’s just incredible,” said the 19-year-old. “We all work very well together at BWT Lechner Racing and push each other to achieve maximum performance. I’m learning a lot from Dylan and Harry, “Buus concluded, praising his teammates.
Even in the ProAm classification, spectators were delighted by a home victory: Austrian Philipp Sager of Dinamic Motorsport won in his class for the first time this season.
In fifteen days, the teams will travel to Le Castellet to compete in the fifth round of the season.
