  • Robert de Haan secures a one-two victory in Zandvoort for the Dutchmen and also wins the Rookie classification
  • Theo Oeverhaus from the Porsche Sixt Carrera Cup Deutschland Talent Pool pockets his second podium result of the weekend
  • Ahmad Alshehab from Kuwait is the fastest ProAm driver

Stuttgart. Larry ten Voorde also won the second race of the Porsche Sixt Carrera Cup Deutschland in Zandvoort, and moves to the top of the leaderboard of the one-make series with the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. The 27-year-old from the Proton Huber Competition team beat his compatriot Robert de Haan across the line on the Formula 1 race track on the Dutch North Sea coast. Driving for Team75 Bernhard, the 17-year-old Dutchman clinched victory in the Rookie classification. German driver Theo Oeverhaus from Team Bonk Motorsport finished third.

The foundation for Larry ten Voorde’s third win of the season was laid in the opening seconds of the 19-lap race. Although the reigning champion lined up on the second grid spot at the wheel of his Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, he got off the line better than polesitter Huub van Eijndhoven. However, the 24-year-old Dutchman’s race turned into a nightmare. Eijndhoven was only able to hold onto second place until halfway through the race before a puncture sent the Uniserver by Team GP Elite driver to the pits. Ultimately, he finished outside the points.

Larry ten Voorde, on the other hand, drove a commanding race to clinch his sixth Carrera Cup victory in Zandvoort. “I didn’t have the fastest car today and had to give everything to keep Robert de Haan at bay,” analysed the defending champion and new leader of the Porsche Sixt Carrera Cup Deutschland drivers’ standings. Larry ten Voorde flew straight from the podium ceremony in Zandvoort to Le Mans: On Sunday afternoon he took part in the official test drives for the 24-hour race next weekend.

Robert de Haan made a similar overtaking manoeuvre to that of Larry ten Voorde: Starting from fourth position, he squeezed past Harry King in the dash to the first corner. “Our cars made contact, after which my steering wasn’t quite straight. That prevented me from attacking Larry over the rest of the race,” reported the fastest rookie and best-placed driver from the Talent Pool of the Porsche Sixt Carrera Cup Deutschland.

Harry King’s Porsche 911 GT3 Cup did not come away from the duel with de Haan unscathed. “The body of the car occasionally rubbed against the right rear tyre, which resulted in the tyre deteriorating. I nearly spun out several times on the left-handers,” King reported. The Briton, who drives for the German team Allied-Racing, kept fighting. Despite having to let Theo Oeverhaus (Bonk Motorsport) pass him, he managed to cross the finish line in fifth place. Alexander Tauscher (Proton Huber Competition) finished sixth. Because the Frenchman Marvin Klein (Target Competition), who initially finished third, was later disqualified due to an infringement of the technical regulations, both drivers moved up one place in the official results.

For the same reason, Theo Oeverhaus was classified third, repeating his result from Saturday. “That was a very intense race. I had several brushes with different competitors. Fortunately, my car survived all of them well,” summarised the driver from Germany, who had originally crossed the finish line in fourth place. With his result, two drivers from the Porsche Sixt Carrera Cup Deutschland Talent Pool finished in the top three of the overall standings.

Behind Robert de Haan, Dutchman Kas Haverkort (Uniserver by Team GP Elite) and German Colin Jamie Bönighausen (CarTech Motorsport) took the top three positions in the Rookie classification. They also underlined the skills of the Carrera Cup rookies with sixth and seventh place in the overall standings. The best-placed ProAm driver was Ahmad Alshehab. “I had issues getting my tyres up to temperature. I had to fight hard for the ProAm win,” said the businessman from Kuwait, who drives for the German team CarTech Motorsport.

“The Circuit Zandvoort once again provided the stage for a fantastic event. The Porsche Sixt Carrera Cup Deutschland entertained roughly 30,000 spectators and our guests along the track with thrilling racing action. I’d like to congratulate our Dutch drivers on their double victories in the overall and Rookie classifications,” commented Karsten Sohns, Chief Financial Officer Porsche Deutschland. Sohns presented the trophies together with Thomas Illner, Chief Operations Officer Porsche Deutschland, and Dr Nils Hueske, Chief Commercial Officer Sixt.

The next stop for the Porsche Sixt Carrera Cup Deutschland is Budapest. The one-make cup will contest its seventh and eighth races of the season on 22 and 23 June 2024 at the Formula 1 racetrack on the outskirts of the Hungarian capital.
