Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland, race 2, Hockenheim

Double victory for Dennis Olsen at the Hockenheimring

Stuttgart. Dennis Olsen (Konrad Motorsport) has made a perfect start to the new Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland season. After winning Saturday’s race, the 21-year-old Norwegian went on the clinch Sunday’s second heat on the Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg. At the wheel of his 485 hp Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, Olsen relegated the German Michael Ammermüller (raceunion Huber Racing) and Christopher Zöchling (MRS GT-Racing) from Austria to the other podium steps. “The weekend was simply perfect! The three safety car phases made it difficult to stay focused, so that makes me all the more thrilled with my victory,” said Olsen.

Directly after the start Ammermüller managed to defend his pole position but the seasoned Porsche pilot from the raceunion Huber Racing squad immediately came under pressure Olsen. In the first-turn mayhem, the situation turned critical: Several vehicles made contact and the safety car was deployed. After the racetrack went green again, Ammermüller and Olsen gave spectators a gripping performance as they battled for the lead. In lap five, the Norwegian used the slipstream to overtake his rival. Although the safety car was sent out two more times, Olsen kept a cool head and concluded the race at the front.

In a repeat of round one on Saturday, Ammermüller had to admit a close defeat to Olsen. “After the first safety car phase, I slid off the track slightly in the hairpin. That’s when Olsen grabbed his chance,” said the 31-year-old. Directly behind him, Zöchling secured the third grid spot: “Perhaps I could have done better today, but I also had to contend with Nick Yelloly who was breathing down my neck. I had to watch him like a hawk.” Nick Yelloly (GB/Team Deutsche Post by Project 1) took the flag in fourth place, followed closely by his teammate Larry Ten Voorde (NL/Team Deutsche Post by Project 1). Sixth place went to Luca Rettenbacher (A/Konrad Motorsport), with Marius Nakken (N/MRS GT-Racing) finishing on position seven.

The Porsche Junior Thomas Preining (A/Konrad Motorsport) had an excellent start. The 18-year-old Austrian took up the race from the fourth grid spot and, with a catapult start, overtook Yelloly in the first turn. However, in the second lap, Preining lost control of his nine-eleven when he encountered radiator fluid left on the track after a collision amongst the backmarkers. “When I warmed up my tyres in the first safety car phase, I was taken by surprise by the damp track surface,” said the youngster from Linz. Preining fell back to position 18 and worked his way through the field to finish on eighth place. In ninth place, Jörn Schmidt-Staade (D/Cito Pretiosa) was the best amateur driver in the field.

Olsen was handed the winner’s trophy for his second win of the season by Albrecht Reimold. Like last year, the Board Member for Production and Logistics at Porsche AG visited the season-opening race weekend of the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland. The next two races of the German brand trophy series will be contested from 19 to 21 May at the Lausitzring.
