There is probably nobody in motor racing who does not rate Spa-Francorchamps as a very special place. So the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup weekend here is always a highlight of the season: The 7.004 km long up-and-downhill track in the Belgian Ardennes with its ever so famous corners like Eau Rouge, Raidillon and Blanchimont presents a very special challenge to drivers an teams – often additionally complicated by changing weather conditions.
BWT Lechner Racing has very good memories of the track, scoring a one-two victory here in 2021 with Dylan Pereira and Ayhancan Güven at the 300th Porsche Supercup race in history, in the pouring rain, with Pereira then winning again in 2022, then an important milestone on his way to the title.
After last weekend´s victory in Hungary by Harry King, the first one for BWT Lechner Racing in this season, the team is aiming to continue on this high level of performance before entering the four week summer break, which will give everybody a little bit of well-deserved rest after four races in the last five weeks.
BWT Lechner Racing Team Principal Robert Lechner: “I have great memories of Spa. Our double victory of 2021 is still a very special and emotional moment for me, in the first year with the new Porsche 992 generation, it was so important for all of us. If I could have a wish it would be to be able to repeat this result. Our level of motivation is extremely high as always, especially now after Harry King´s win in Hungary.”
Harry King: “The pressure is back on, and I like it. After my win in Budapest, we are back in the hunt, let´s keep pushing.”
Robert de Haan: “Looking forward to get back on track at Spa already this weekend, after what happened in Hungary we want to come back as soon as possible, so I am really focused on a good result and performance here.”
Theo Oeverhaus: “I am really looking forward to Spa, it´s such a great track, my favorite in the whole calendar!”
