Nick Yelloly secures pole position in Monaco in Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup

For Porsche Junior Julien Andlauer (martinet by ALMERAS), this marks the first time on the Circuit de Monaco. The young French driver posted the ninth quickest time with 1:35.325 minutes. “To be honest, the qualifying didn’t go as I’d imagined. This circuit is incredibly challenging and the packed field make it very tight. Still, I’m feeling confident that I can improve on Sunday,” said the 18-year-old Frenchman.

Porsche Junior Thomas Preining (BWT Lechner Racing) tackles the race from position 16. This is also the 19-year-old Austrian’s maiden race on the storied racetrack. Preining turned his fastest lap in 1:36.243 minutes. “Unfortunately I didn’t get a free run and I lost a lot of time. My grid position is not great, especially for Monaco, because it’s only really possible to overtake on this narrow circuit when the guy in front makes a mistake,” said Preining.

Round two of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup gets underway on Sunday at 10.30 hrs local time. Fans can watch the race via live timing or as a web radio broadcast on www.racecam.de. Eurosport televises the race in more than 60 countries. Moreover, the broadcaster Sky airs the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup in both the UK and Italy.
