Laurin Heinrich (Germany/SSR Huber Racing) clinched his fifth win of the season in the 13th round of the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland on Saturday at the Sachsenring. The Porsche Junior was classified ahead of Bastian Buus (Denmark/Allied Racing) and Morris Schuring (Netherlands/SSR Huber Racing). Three races before the end of the season, Heinrich is in the championship standings with 243 points ahead of Larry ten Voorde (Netherlands/Team GP Elite), who has 203 points under his belt. Dylan Pereira (Luxembourg/IronForce Racing by Phoenix) is third with 191 points.
The spectators in the grandstands of the 3.645-kilometer route in Hohenstein-Ernstthal saw a turbulent race. In sunshine and 18 degrees Celsius, 31 drivers took to the track in their 510 hp Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. Heinrich started from pole position and immediately took the lead in the field. Ten Voorde was able to improve from fourth to second position after two laps. The safety car had to be deployed twice and the time differences that had already been achieved melted away. On lap 16, Heinrich was briefly carried too far out of the corner and ten Voorde used the opportunity to overtake, but the 20-year-old countered two corners later and took back the lead. The fans held their breath when suddenly an overlay from the race management appeared on the monitors: Heinrich was instructed to return his top position to ten Voorde. After 21 laps, the order at the finish was ten Voorde ahead of Heinrich and Buus. However, the stewards then watched the decisive maneuvers again from different camera perspectives and came to the conclusion that ten Voorde had wrongly gained an advantage over Loek Hartog (Netherlands/Black Falcon). Ten Voorde received a time penalty and fell back to fifth place in the result classification behind Hartog.
