The Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup heads to Austria this weekend for Round 3 of the 2026 season, with BWT Lechner Racing preparing for its highly anticipated home race at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg.
After a challenging start to the campaign, the Austrian squad is determined to turn the page and build momentum in front of its home crowd. The iconic circuit in the Styrian hills has always been a special venue for the team, and the entire BWT Lechner Racing operation is looking forward to competing on home soil once again.
With temperatures expected to soar throughout the weekend, drivers and teams will face an additional challenge on one of the most demanding tracks on the calendar. Despite the hot conditions, preparations have been running smoothly, and the team arrives in Spielberg focused and motivated.
„Our home race is always incredibly exciting and special. We have so many friends, partners and supporters joining us in the paddock, while tens of thousands of Austrian motorsport fans create a fantastic atmosphere around the circuit. I expect a very hot weekend, both in terms of temperatures and competition, but we are well prepared and ready to give it everything we have. Fingers crossed!" Robert Lechner, Team Principal
For BWT Lechner Racing, Spielberg is undoubtedly the season highlight. The 4.318 km circuit with its ten corners holds special memories for the Austrian team, which secured a commanding one-two finish at this venue last year.
Backed by passionate home support and determined to build momentum in the 2026 campaign, the team is aiming to be in contention from the very first laps of the weekend. The race will provide the opportunity to turn hard work into a strong result and add another successful chapter to BWT Lechner Racing's history at the Red Bull Ring.
