With a convincing performance, Dylan Pereira (BWT Lechner Racing) shone at round two of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup at the Red Bull Ring. The Luxembourger took the flag at the Grand Prix circuit in Styria almost four seconds ahead of a trio consisting of Porsche Junior Ayhancan G\u00fcven (TR\/Martinet by Alm\u00e9ras), Larry ten Voorde (NL\/Team GP Elite) and Leon K\u00f6hler (D\/Lechner Racing Middle). \u201cNo one can plan that, everything simply ran perfectly,\u201d said an elated Pereira. With his win, Pereira moves to the top of the points table in the international Supercup, which has represented the pinnacle of Porsche\u2019s one-make cup series since 1993 and is currently contested with 485 hp Porsche 911 GT3 Cup racers. <\/p>\n

Pereira took up the race from the third grid spot. He went past Leon K\u00f6hler already during the sprint to the first corner, and seconds later, the Luxembourger went head to head with polesitter G\u00fcven in the decisive duel of the race. Wheel to wheel, the pair sprinted to the next braking point, with two wheels of Pereira\u2019s car briefly on the grass. Still, he kept his cool and edged ahead of G\u00fcven at the next corner. \u201cI thought: it\u2019s now or never. I really wanted to take the lead as soon as possible so that I could control the race from the front.\u201d<\/p>

While Pereira proceeded to pull clear of the field by 0.2-seconds per lap, G\u00fcven, Ten Voorde and K\u00f6hler spent the rest of the race trying to chase him down. \u201cEveryone waited for the other person to make a mistake, but it just didn\u2019t happen,\u201d explained Ten Voorde, who found no way past Ayhancan G\u00fcven. \u201cI couldn\u2019t do any better today, Dylan was unstoppable,\u201d admitted the Porsche Junior. \u201cIn any case, I\u2019m happy with the points for second place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leon K\u00f6hler, who had surprised in qualifying by posting the second-fastest time, was not entirely content. \u201cI didn\u2019t expect the lights to go out so quickly at the start. My reaction wasn\u2019t good,\u201d said the 20-year-old German. \u201cThat\u2019s why the first two corners didn\u2019t go quite as well as they should have, and of course, Dylan Pereira, Larry ten Voorde and Marvin Klein took advantage of that and overtook me.\u201d <\/p>\n

Nevertheless, K\u00f6hler managed to manoeuvre his way past Marvin Klein (Martinet by Alm\u00e9ras) again and win the rookie classification for the second time ahead of the Frenchman. Porsche Junior Jaxon Evan (BWT Lechner Racing) swept over the finish line between the two. \u201cMy goal was to finish in the top five, so at least that worked,\u201d said the New Zealander who started into the race from P8. Florian Latorre (F\/CLRT), Jean-Baptiste Simmenauer (F\/Lechner Racing Middle East), Max van Splunteren (NL\/Team GP Elite) and Laurin Heinrich (D\/MRS GT-Racing) rounded off the top ten. Roar Lindland (N\/Pierre Martinet by Alm\u00e9ras) won the ProAm class ahead of local hero Philipp Sager (A\/Dinamic Motorsport), whose son Moritz (A\/Dinamic Motorsport) finished in 19th. <\/p>\n

After two back-to-back races at Spielberg, the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup now travels to Hungary, where the third round of the season will be held at the Hungaroring near Budapest next weekend. <\/p>\n
