Carrera Cup: Morris Schuring is youngest winner 🎥
WOW! Morris Schuring set a new record with a victory at the Sachsenring: At the age of 18 years and seven months, he is the youngest winner in the history of the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland.
The successful Dutchman from Team Fach Auto Tech is the youngest winner in the history of the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland, which has been held since 1990. He previously secured the same honorary title in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, the international one-make cup with the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup.
Morris Schuring: "I've been racing in the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland since I was 16. Becoming the youngest winner here was my goal from the very beginning. I'm proud to have achieved it now."
Managing the lead in the second race
24 hours earlier, he had narrowly missed this success when he finished second behind Porsche junior Bastian Buus. On Sunday, he turned the tables. As early as the first turn, Schuring overtook the Dane, who was on pole. Schuring had a mega start. After that he only had to "manage" the lead. It could hardly have been more perfect.
This task was made easier for him by the fact that Larry ten Voorde (Team GP Elite) was also able to squeeze past pole setter Bastian Buus (Allied-Racing) after just a few meters. For the rest of the race, the two title rivals fought a gripping duel that was time-consuming at some points. As a result, Schuring was able to pull away without any danger.
With two podium finishes, Schuring collected the most points of the weekend and thus added to his points tally. With two race weekends to go, he is fifth in the overall standings.
Alexander Fach in seventh position
Alexander Fach also collected a good number of points on Saturday. With a spirited race, the man from Schwyz secured seventh place overall. One day later, however, Fach was unlucky: in a battle for position, a competitor misjudged and thus cleared Fach off the track in the final lap. The collision, which was not his fault, was followed by the premature end of the race immediately before the end.
Jasin Ferati was fifth best rookie
Jasin Ferati also saw his race come to an early end. In the first race of the weekend, he also came into contact through no fault of his own, which meant an early retirement. But the man from Winterthur was not deterred by this. In Sunday's race, the 21-year-old initially fought his way forward from 15th on the grid and maintained his position in midfield. It was only a ride into the gravel that set him back again. In the end, he crossed the finish line in 15th position, making him the fifth-best rookie.
The next race for Fach Auto Tech will be from September 22 to 24. The penultimate race weekend of the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland is then scheduled at the Red Bull Ring.
