First win of the season for defending champion Larry ten Voorde

  • Dutchman from the Proton Huber Competition team wins the fourth round of the Porsche Sixt Carrera Cup Deutschland
  • Harry King (Allied-Racing) maintains his lead in the one-make cup standings with second place in the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben
  • First rookie win for Dutchman Kas Haverkort (Uniserver by GP Elite), Michael Essmann (CarTech Motorsport) best-placed in ProAm class

It took the reigning champion four races: Dutchman Larry ten Voorde celebrated his first win of the season in the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben. The Proton Huber Competition driver beat Britain’s Harry King (Allied-Racing) and Dutchman Huub van Eijndhoven (Uniserver by GP Elite) in the 20-lap sprint of Porsche Sixt Carrera Cup Deutschland’s fourth race. With this success, Larry ten Voorde advanced to second place in the standings behind overall leader Harry King.

In the sprint to the first corner ten Voorde beat his fellow countryman Robert de Haan (Team75 Bernhard), who had started the race from pole position. “That was the decisive move. After that I was able to control the race,” reported ten Voorde, who drove towards his 31st victory in the Carrera Cup Deutschland unchallenged. His lead at the finish was almost three seconds – a small eternity in the one-make cup with the 375 kW (510 PS) Porsche 911 GT3 Cup.

De Haan, since Saturday the youngest winner in the history of the Carrera Cup Deutschland, didn’t have the race he was hoping for: the radiator on his nine-eleven was damaged in a duel and the 17-year-old was forced to retire after pitting on the opening lap.

Following Robert de Haan’s retirement, Huub van Eijndhoven and Harry King launched a pursuit of race leader Larry ten Voorde. “I chose an aggressive strategy with the tyre pressure. That made me very fast during the first laps. However, I was also one of the first to experience tyre degradation,” revealed van Eijndhoven. Harry King had opted for the opposite tactic. “Once Huub’s tyres started to loose grip, I was able to overtake him easily. But Larry was already too far ahead by then,” analysed the Briton.

“Following the bad luck in Saturday’s race, today was a strong comeback for me and the team,” summarised Larry ten Voorde, who moved to Proton Huber Competition for the 2024 season. “We’re evolving more and more as a team, which is great fun for me.”

Behind fourth-placed Theo Oeverhaus (Bonk Motorsport) from Germany, newcomer Kas Haverkort (Uniserver by GP Elite) crossed the finish line to secure his first victory in the Rookie classification. “Given I had never even sat in a GT racing car until February, things are going extremely well. A rookie win and a place in the top five of the overall standings – that’s awesome,” beamed the 20-year-old Dutchman, who raced single-seaters until 2023.

The best-placed ProAm driver was German Michael Essmann (CarTech Motorsport), who had skipped the race the day before to attend a family celebration. “Communion on Saturday, ProAm victory on Sunday. That’s what I call a successful weekend,” said the delighted entrepreneur.

“Three different winners in the first four races, new faces on the podium every event – that shows how close the competition is in the Porsche Sixt Carrera Cup Deutschland this season. I’m thrilled that the newcomers on both the driver and team side have been at the front right from the start. And I’m particularly proud of the strong performances from the drivers from the Talent Pool, who even celebrated a one-two victory in Saturday’s race,” said Hurui Issak, Project Manager Porsche Sixt Carrera Cup Deutschland, looking back on the Oschersleben weekend.

The teams will make their way to the Dutch North Sea coast for the next round. Races five and six of the season are scheduled for 8 and 9 June 2024 at the Circuit Zandvoort, a well-known Formula 1 venue.
