Nick Yelloly (GB), Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland - 04 Norisring 2017

Ryan Cullen (GB/raceunion Huber Racing) came fourth behind Engelhart. As the best rookie, Dutchman Larry Ten Voorde (Team Deutsche Post by Project 1) finished on fifth ahead of Gabriele Piana (RN Vision Team BLACK FALCON) from Italy. Due to his penalty, Ammermüller occupied seventh place. After Porsche Junior Thomas Preining (Konrad Motorsport) posted third in qualifying, the Austrian crossed the finish line in eighth place at his first race on the Norisring. “After the start I lost places unfortunately, which I hadn’t expected. I managed to work my way back up the field a bit by overtaking, which is somewhat encouraging for Sunday’s race,” said the youngster from Linz in Austria. The best driver in the amateur classification was Germany’s Wolfgang Triller from Huber Racing by TriSpa, followed by Carlos Rivas (L/BLACK FALCON) and Wolf Nathan (NL/Huber Racing by TriSpa).
