Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup qualifying, round 3 in Spielberg (Austria).
03-07-2021 20:35 - MOTORSPORT
Dylan Pereira from Luxembourg drove the fastest lap in qualifying for round three of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. For the first time in almost a year he secured pole position - fittingly at the home game of his team BWT Lechner Racing. Dylan Pereira was 0.118 seconds faster than Jaxon Evans (Martinet by Alméras) on the 4.318-kilometer Formula 1 circuit in Styria.
The third round of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup will run over 18 laps on Sunday (July 4, 2021) from 12:15 p.m. CEST. Hollywood star Michael Fassbender enters the race with the starting number 911. The German-Irish actor, who usually competes in the European Le Mans Series (ELMS) in the Porsche 911 RSR, is making his second guest appearance in the international Porsche one-make cup.
The TV channels Eurosport and Sky Sport as well as the streaming service f1tv.formula1.com broadcast the Spielberg race live. Fans can also follow the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup outside of the race weekends on the social networks Twitter (@PorscheSupercup and @PorscheRaces), Instagram (@PorscheSupercup) and Facebook (@PorscheSupercup).

For the Turkish Porsche Junior Ayhancan Güven, the hunt for pole position on the second set of tires did not go well either. As third fastest he completed the strong qualifying result of BWT Lechner Racing, but personally was far from satisfied. Leader of the standings Larry ten Voorde (NL / Team GP Elite), the winner of the Spielberg race last weekend, was fourth fastest. German Laurin Heinrich (Nebulus Racing by Huber), who won a race in the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany three weeks ago at the Red Bull Ring, will start from the third row. Next to him is Marius Nakken (FACH AUTO TECH) from Norway. Places one to 22 in qualifying are less than a second apart.
Pereira is celebrating his comeback on the racetrack where he started in 2020 with a second place and a win in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. In the current season, however, the statistics of the reigning runner-up resemble a rollercoaster. Race 1 in Monaco: fastest in free practice, accident in qualifying, from last place on the grid to eleventh place in the race. Race 2 last weekend in Spielberg: Eighth in qualifying, after an accident and time penalties in the race, only placed 25th.
