Ammermüller wins first Monte Carlo race

Whilst several midfielders made contact with the Armco barriers, the top eight made it to the finish line after 16 laps without mishap. Porsche Junior Olsen took a risk at the start: “I was determined to snatch Ammermüller in the first metres but I just didn’t get off the line quickly enough. Still, it’s a great feeling to climb the podium in Monaco.”

Zaid Ashkanani (MRS GT-Racing) achieved his best result so far in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. The student from Kuwait finished fourth, fending off the attacks of Porsche Junior Matt Campbell (AUS/Fach Auto Tech). “I attempted to keep up the pressure, but Zaid put in an immaculate drive. Considering it’s my first Monaco race, I’m happy with fifth place,” said the 22-year-old Campbell. Daniele di Amato (I/Dinamic Motorsport) took the flag in sixth. The best amateur pilot was Roar Lindland (N/MRS Cup-Racing).

After three races, Ammermüller leads the overall classification of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup with 60 points, with Olsen (52) and Cammish (48) ranking second and third. Lindland leads the amateur category. In the newly created League of Nations, Germany holds the lead with maximum points (60) thanks to Ammermüller. Olsen has earned vital points for his country, with Norway now sitting on second place with 52 points. Cammish’s successes have put Great Britain on third place with 48 points. 

The Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup celebrates a very special anniversary in Monaco: For the last 25 years, the one-make race series has been contested in Monaco as support to Formula 1. This year, an average of around 30 drivers from 19 countries take up the challenge. Next up on the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup calendar is the Spielberg race in Austria, with the international makes cup setting up its tents in the paddock of the Red Bull Ring from 7-9 July.
