  • Perfect Start to the Season for Porsche Junior Andlauer
    newsroom Motorsports May 12, 2019 Perfect start to the season for Porsche Junior Andlauer The first race weekend in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup could not have turned out better for Julien Andlauer: fastest in free practice, pole position and victory at round one of the season on the Spanish Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Race – Round 1 “That was a perfect weekend for me. I managed to assert myself in the critical phases of the race – which were in the first laps and at the restart after the safety car phase,” said the Porsche Junior (F/BWT Lechner Racing). At Sunday’s race, Ayhancan Güven (TR/martinet by ALMERAS) and Michael Ammermüller (D/BWT Lechner Racing) scored the other podium steps with their 485 hp Porsche 911 GT3 Cup racers. Andlauer made the most of the restart The 28-strong field from 17 nations treated spectators to an action-packed race on the circuit north of Barcelona. In sunny weather and a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, Andlauer immediately took the inside line after the start in order to defend himself against Güven. The racing driver from Turkey made repeated attempts to overtake the Frenchman, but was thwarted in lap five when the safety car was deployed to enable a vehicle to be salvaged from the track. Andlauer made the most of the restart and used the remaining distance to pull clear of Güven. After 14 laps, the French racing driver swept over the finish line 3.2 seconds ahead of his pursuer from Istanbul. “I had a great duel with Julien Andlauer over the first laps.

  • Press Release September 29, 2019
    Press Release September 29, 2019 Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland 2019, champion portrait Julien Andlauer Total commitment, great passion – Julien Andlauer is the new champion Stuttgart. Despite his young age, Porsche Junior Julien Andlauer knows exactly how to win titles: champion of the Porsche Carrera Cup France in 2017 and, since last year, the youngest class winner at the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans. This week- end, the 20-year-old Frenchman has added yet another trophy to his impressive col- lection: At Sunday’s race on the Sachsenring, Andlauer claimed the crown of the 2019 Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland. Right from the outset, Andauer’s goal was clear. After two successful years in the French Carrera Cup, he set his sights on securing the title in the German one-make cup. Although the Carrera Cup season got off to a mediocre start, with a tenth and fifth place at Hockenheim, the clever youngster gradually worked his way up to the top of the field. After claiming second place at the Most racetrack in the Czech Re- public, his breakthrough came with his first win at the Red Bull Ring in Austria. The talented Frenchman went on to score another four wins to secure the title at the final race weekend at the Sachsenring. In the fight for the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland title, Andlauer first had to out- shine two rivals: his seasoned teammate Michael Ammermüller and the tenacious young Dutchman Larry ten Voorde. Andlauer tackled his title mission with incredible energy. No matter whether the driver from Lyon was signing autographs or giving interviews in the Carrera Cup paddock, he almost always wore a friendly smile.
