After an amendment to the Formula One calendar, Spielberg in Austria hosts the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup twice in a row. The programme outlines a double-header at the Red Bull Ring as support to the Styrian Grand Prix (25 to 27 June 2021) and the Austrian Grand Prix (2 to 4 July 2021).
“I got off the line perfectly at the start and I was also lucky that my pursuers hampered each other on the first kilometre,” stated the reigning Supercup champion, describing the initial phase. While the Turkish Porsche Junior Ayhancan Güven (BWT Lechner Racing) managed to defend his second grid spot, Germany’s Leon Köhler (Nebulus Racing by Huber) slipped past the Frenchman Dorian Boccolacci (Martinet by Alméras) in the first lap. The leading quartet crossed the finish line after 18 laps on the Red Bull Ring in that order. Thanks to his second win of the season, ten Voorde extended his championship lead significantly. Boccolacci is the new runner-up in the points’ standings.
In contrast to the winner, Güven was not happy with his start. “I didn’t get a chance to attack Larry in the early stages. Afterwards, he was simply too dominant,” admitted the Porsche Junior. Köhler, however, made the most of a minor error made by Boccolacci, who had taken up the race from the third grid spot, and wrested this position from him. “Dorian opened the door, I was able to stick behind Ayhancan and overtake Dorian in his slipstream,” said the pleased 21-year-old German. Boccolacci’s second victory in the rookie category of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup was cold comfort. “I was aiming for the podium.”
