BWT Lechner Racing driver Bastian Buus will start from P3 on Sunday into the team´s home race, the second round of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup 2023 at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg/Austria, with his teammate and championship leader Harry King in P11 and Rookie Harri Jones in P17.
The tricky Austrian weather played a big role in qualifying: A slight drizzle, sometimes a bit stronger, sometimes weaker, created difficult conditions in which it was very important to be at the right place at the right time. In the end, everything was decided in the last minutes, with an additional Red Flag with only three minutes to go causing further disruption.
Then it was all about still having the chance to set a good laptime in the heavy traffic. Bastian Buus managed to do his best, “but according to my track position I had only one lap left while a few others had two. This was of course a big disadvantage, so I have to be happy with P3”, the Danish driver stated. “I know that we have a very fast car, so I am sure I can fight for the podium, hopefully even for victory tomorrow.”
