The Porsche Supercup has completed exactly 300 races since 1993. The anniversary race of the international one-make cup was one of the most eventful: on the rain-soaked Formula 1 circuit in Spa-Francorchamps, Dylan Pereira won unimpressed by numerous spins and slips by colleagues as well as three safety car phases. The Luxembourger vigorously fended off the constant attacks of his Turkish BWT Lechner Racing team-mate Ayhancan Güven. The German Laurin Heinrich (Nebulus Racing by Huber) completed the podium as the fastest rookie in the field of the 32 Porsche 911 GT3 Cups.

A decisive situation took place just a few meters after the start in the infamous Passage Eau Rouge. “I got off to a good start, so I was able to start an attack on Larry right away,” reported Pereira. On the approach to Eau Rouge, he sat down next to Larry ten Voorde from the GP Elite team, who had started from pole position. Both vehicles touched slightly - and the Dutchman spun. “I was on the line with less grip, which made it easy for me to slip,” Ten Voorde later admitted. While the reigning champions returned to the field in 13th place, Pereira took over the lead.
