BWT Lechner Racing driver Bastain Buus will start from P3 into the fifth race of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup 2023 at Spa Francorchamps. „I had to be very careful due to avoid unnecessary track limit infringements“, said the Danish Porsche Junior, who is currently leading the championship. “P3 on the grid is not too bad, my two main championship rivals are behind me, the number four in the standings just ahead of me. It is important to have a clean race and score some big points.”
His BWT Lechner Racing teammate Harry King, who was fastest by far with the first set of tyres wondered a bit why he could not improve on the second set, „but P3, where I finished on track, would have been okay. In spite of the 5-places grid penalty due to additional reprimands for track limits in free practice: I have a very fast car, so I hope I can still get to the podium from P7 on the grid.“
Australian rookie Harri Jones also was very happy with his first run on new tyres, but “I could not improve on the second set, like many others did. We have to analyse all the details to find out the reasons. But from P8 I am still in a very good position in the fight for the win and the championship in the rookie category.”
