    Press Release September 3, 2017 Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, Round 9, Formula 1 race at Monza/Italy Porsche Junior Matt Campbell wins turbulent race Stuttgart. Porsche Junior Matt Campbell (AUS/Fach Auto Tech) scored his second victory of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup season on Sunday at Monza, Italy. Zaid Ashkanani (KUW/MRS GT Racing) and Mattia Drudi (I/Dinamic Motorsport) finished on positions two and three respectively after an eventful ninth championship round. In the overall classification heading into the double-header grand finale in Mexico with the 485 hp Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, the situation looks extremely close: Only three points separate championship leader Michael Ammermüller (D/Lechner MSG Racing Team) and Porsche Junior Dennis Olsen (N/Walter Lechner Racing Team), after Olsen achieved fifth place today, with Ammermüller on tenth. At Monza, Olsen has clinched an early victory in the rookie classification. The weekend at the racetrack on the outskirts of Milan held several surprises for the 31-strong field of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. After the free practice on Friday in bright sunshine, Saturday brought heavy rain. With water flooding the track surface, the qualifying session scheduled at midday Saturday had to be cancelled for safety reasons. Accordingly, the free practice result determined the grid positions. Campbell was thrilled with his pole position, which he turned into a lights-to-flag victory: “I’m really pleased to have won this race. After the first lap there was a brief safety car phase because a car went into the gravel. My restart went really well and that was the key to success.

  • Press Release October 29, 2017
    Press Release October 29, 2017 Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, Race 11, Formula 1 race in Mexico City/Mexico Campbell wins final race, Ammermüller claims championship Stuttgart. Michael Ammermüller is the new champion of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. The 31-year-old German, who competed for the Lechner MSG Racing Team, secured the championship title on Sunday at the final round held in Mexico City. Victory at the last race of the season, however, went to Porsche Junior Matt Campbell (AUS/Fach Auto Tech) ahead of Ammermüller and Porsche Junior Dennis Olsen (N/Walter Lechner Racing Team). Second place was enough to give Ammermüller a seven-point advantage to claim the crown. “Four wins, five second places and a third – thanks to these consistent performances I was finally able to win the Supercup. I’m very pleased about that and I’m grateful for the terrific support I received from my Lechner team,” said a beaming Ammermüller. Spectators were treated to an exciting eleventh round with 30 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup racers lining up on the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. Pole-sitter Campbell made a cracking start to maintain his lead position, with Ammermüller and Olsen slotting in behind him. For the next eight laps it looked as if the Australian would easily convert his pole into victory, however Ammermüller had opted for a different tyre strategy and, at the midway mark, began to put Campbell under increased pressure. The frontrunner, however, kept his cool and brought home his second victory of the weekend after finishing first in Saturday’s race.

    Press Release October 28, 2017 Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, Race 10, Formula 1 race in Mexico City/Mexico Porsche Junior Matt Campbell triumphs in Mexico Stuttgart. The title decision in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup has to wait until the final race on Sunday. On Saturday, Porsche Junior Matt Campbell (AUS/Fach Auto Tech) dominated the 29-strong field on the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexi- co City and relegated Michael Ammermüller (D/Lechner MSG Racing Team) and Porsche Junior Dennis Olsen (N/Walter Lechner Racing Team) to positions two and three. “I managed to snatch the lead in the sprint to the first corner. That was the key to success. I’m taking up Sunday’s race from pole position and perhaps I can win again. My goal is to finish the season as third overall in the championship,” says the Australian. Because of the tight situation at the top, the championship is still wide open as it heads into the 11th and final round. Ammermüller leads with a five-point advantage over Olsen, and there are still 20 points up for grabs. Olsen took up the race on the 4.304-kilometre circuit from pole position in his 485 hp Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. The Norwegian, however, lost two positions in the first lap and had to settle in behind Campbell and Ammermüller in third place. Campbell grabbed his chance and pulled clear to eke out a comfortable 4.2-second advantage. When the safety car was deployed in lap six so that a vehicle could be salvaged, he lost his margin.

  • Porsche Supercup Action at the Hungaroring
    www.porscheroadandrace.com Porsche Supercup action at the Hungaroring Published: 3rd August 2017 By: Lucian Sonea Online version: https://www.porscheroadandrace.com/porsche-supercup-action-at-the-hungaroring/ The start of the Supercup race at the Hungaroring on 30 July 2017. Cammish gets the jump on Ammermüller Thirty drivers took part in last Sunday’s round of the Mobil 1 Porsche Supercup action at the Hungaroring. This was the fifth Supercup meeting of the season (although the sixth race), and coincided with the Hungarian Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend. The thrilling Hungarian track, located north of Budapest, has seen interesting battles and dramas in the past because of its particular layout. The first Supercup race at the Hungaroring was organised in 1993, and was won by former F1 champion Mika Hakkinen. www.porscheroadandrace.com Cammish leads Ammermüller in the early stages of the Supercup race at the Hungaroring on 30 July 2017 Just like Monaco, the qualifying position is crucial, as there are very few overtaking opportunities for the drivers, but one such opportunity is at the end of the start/finish straight. Points leader, Michael Ammermüller (Lechner MSG Racing Team), set the best time during the qualifying session (1:46.926) and started from pole position for the second time of the season (after Monaco). British Carrera Cup points leader and Le Mans Carrera Cup winner, Dan Cammish (Ammermüller’s team mate), set the second fastest lap time (1:47.107). The experienced Austrian Team Lechner – with its multiple entries in Supercup – seemed to have found the perfect set-up, with three cars occupying the first three places.

    Press Release July 30, 2017 Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, Round 6, Formula 1 race in Budapest/Hungary Ammermüller wins and extends overall lead Stuttgart. Germany’s Michael Ammermüller (Lechner MSG Racing Team) is the man of the moment in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. The 31-year-old seasoned Porsche specialist won round six of the championship in Hungary on Sunday and leads the overall classification after four victories so far this season. “When you start from pole position at the Hungaroring it gives you a good foundation. But at the start Dan Cammish suddenly swept past me. I eventually managed to overtake him later on. I’m happy that I was able to extend my points lead,” said the satisfied Ammermüller. Positions two and three went to the Porsche Junior Dennis Olsen (N/Walter Lechner Racing Team) and Daniel Cammish (GB/Lechner MSG Racing Team). Spectators on the packed grandstands witnessed plenty of gripping race action from the 30 competing Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. Overtaking manoeuvres and thrilling door- to-door duels underlined just how close the competition is in the Porsche one-make race series. When the lights went out, Cammish promptly overtook pole-sitter Am- mermüller, who initially had to settle for second place. Olsen, too, had to relinquish his third position to Robert Lukas (PL/Olimp Racing) at the start. However, when Lu- kas lost concentration briefly in lap four, the Norwegian grabbed his chance to re- claim third. The order until lap eight was Cammish, Ammermüller and Olsen. “My start was good and I got past Michael.

  • Press Release September 2, 2017
    Press Release September 2, 2017 Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, Qualifying round 9, Formula 1 race at Monza/Italy Torrential rain impedes qualifying: practice time puts Campbell on pole Stuttgart. The qualifying for the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup at Monza (Italy) became the casualty of a torrential downpour. Hence, the times from Friday’s practice session determine the grid lineup for the race. As a result, Porsche Junior Matt Campbell (AUS/Fach Auto Tech) takes up round nine on Sunday from pole position. “I was pretty lucky this time with the first grid spot and for some drivers, like my teammates for example, it’s extremely annoying that they didn’t get the chance to turn a good qualifying time. But at the end of the day it was a good decision not to hold the quali- fying, because, even at low speed, I experienced aquaplaning on the finish straight,” explained Campbell. Lining up on the second grid spot is Ashkanani (MRS GT Rac- ing) from Kuwait. Sharing the second grid row in positions three and four respectively are the two rivals for the championship, Michael Ammermüller (D/Lechner MSG Rac- ing Team) and Porsche Junior Dennis Olsen (N/Walter Lechner Racing Team). In the morning, rain set in and drenched the high-speed racetrack. Around midday when the qualifying session for the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup was supposed to start, the 31 drivers went out on the track in their 485 hp Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars, how- ever, for safety reasons, the session was halted without timed laps. As a result, the regulations adopted two years ago, which state that the practice time should deter- mine the grid lineup, were implemented.

    Press Release October 19, 2014 No. M 184/14 Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland, race 18, Hockenheimring/Germany Philipp Eng crowned champion at Hockenheim Stuttgart. Spectators at the Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg were treated to an action-packed season finale of the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland where Austrian Philipp Eng (Team Deutsche Post by Project 1) emerged as the new title holder. The 24-year-old delivered a thrilling three-way battle against the two teammates Michael Ammermüller and Nicki Thiim (both Walter Lechner Racing Team), with Ammermül- ler ultimately coming out on top. But his victory was not enough for him to take home the title. After 18 races, Eng concluded the season with 233 points, just two more than Ammermüller with 231 points to his credit. “I’m the happiest guy in the world. This title in the Porsche Carrera Cup means a great deal to me. My consistently good results are what counted in the end,” said a beaming Eng. The nervousness of the title aspirants was palpable as Ammermüller and Eng lined up on the grid with their 460 hp Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars to tackle race 18 of the season. Ammermüller started from pole position with his Danish teammate alongside him. Eng set out from third. When the 36-strong field took off, Eng briefly relinquished his third spot to Porsche junior Sven Müller (D/Team Deutsche Post by Project 1), but quickly managed to salvage it again. The tension amongst the entire field at the last race of the season resulted in numerous collisions and the race originally sched- uled at 35 minutes was interrupted by two safety car phases.
