Third win in a row: Dylan Pereira dominates at the Lausitzring
The performance curve of Dylan Pereira continues on an upward trajectory in the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland. The Luxembourger won race twelve on Sunday ahead of Larry ten Voorde and Porsche Junior Laurin Heinrich.
Race 12
“I managed to pull away from the pack in the beginning but then Larry ten Voorde gradually drew closer. It was a close duel but we’ve known each other for years and I knew that he always plays fair, even in the fight for the lead. The bid for the title is still wide open,” says Pereira. On Saturday, Pereira also climbed to the top step of the podium and has now notched up three wins in a row. A total of 21,500 visitors watched the race live at the track – a new record for an ADAC GT Masters event at the Lausitzring.
Pereira drove his Porsche 911 GT3 Cup to a lights-to-flag victory. After the 25-year-old managed to pull clear of the 30-strong pack at the start, in the final laps Pereira and ten Voorde treated spectators to a gripping duel. The two-time Carrera Cup champion increased the pressure on the leader but ultimately had to settle for second place after 22 laps. “I made up one position. Perhaps I could’ve risked a little more in the end but second place is a good result,” admits ten Voorde.
