Dennis Olsen wins the championship (Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland)

For Larry Ten Voorde (Team Deutsche Post by Project 1), a shunt with another vehicle in the first lap put him out of contention. Despite this, the Dutchman had good reason to celebrate: The 21-year-old picked up an early title in the rookie classification. “That’s totally cool. I’m over the moon. My first year in the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland was exciting and I’m proud to have gained so much trust from my team,” said Ten Voorde.

Thomas Preining (A/Konrad Motorsport) experienced bad luck in the race. In the first corner, the Porsche Junior was nudged into a spin by Nick Yelloly (GB/Team Deutsche Post by Project 1), who received a drive-through penalty for the contact and thus lost his only chance of winning the title.

Although Preining was relegated back down the field, the 19-year-old fought back and, after a series of overtaking manoeuvres, took the flag in eleventh place. “It’s always tight in the first corner and something like this can happen. I was able to make up some positions, and that makes me feel positive for Sunday’s race,” said Preining.

With one race left on the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland calendar, Olsen holds an unassailable lead over Yelloly in the overall standings with six victories and 253 points. The 26-year-old from Great Britain has 224 points to his credit. Ammermüller ranks third with 167 points. In the team classification, the best squad is Team Deutsche Post by Project 1 with 380 points.
