Maiden victory for Carrera Cup rookie Kas Haverkort

  • Fifth winner in the eighth race: Rookie championship leader Kas Haverkort victorious at the Hungaroring near Budapest
  • Title holder Larry ten Voorde heads into the summer break as “half-time champion”
  • Sören Spreng extends his overall lead in the ProAm standings

The first half of the Porsche Sixt Carrera Cup Deutschland season ended at the Hungaroring with another newcomer at the top of the podium. After Frenchman Marvin Klein (Target Competition) celebrated his maiden victory in Saturday’s race, Kas Haverkort enjoyed the champagne shower from the top step of the podium for the first time on Sunday. The Dutchman from the Uniserver by GP Elite team switched from single-seater racing to the German one-make cup with the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup at the start of the season. On the Grand Prix circuit on the outskirts of Budapest, Haverkort beat German Theo Oeverhaus (Bonk Motorsport) and Robert de Haan (Team75 Bernhard), a fellow Dutch compatriot.

“I pushed a lot to eke out a small lead,” reported Haverkort, who easily pulled clear of the field by almost three seconds after starting the race from pole position. He only had one close call during the 18-lap race. “I touched a white line in one of the braking zones, which caused the left wheels to lock up momentarily,” recalled Haverkort. The ensuing slide into the emergency exit did not yield any lasting consequences for him: The Dutchman recovered his Porsche 911 GT3 Cup and returned to the track still ahead of the pursuing pack.

“I had a better start than Kas. Unfortunately, I couldn’t capitalise on it and overtake him. After that, I didn’t stand a chance,” admitted Theo Oeverhaus, who celebrated his best result to date in the German Carrera Cup with second place. The German driver managed to keep Robert de Haan, his teammate in the Porsche Sixt Carrera Cup Deutschland Talent Pool, at bay. “What counts for me most is the victory in the Rookie classification,” emphasised de Haan, who had celebrated his 18th birthday the day prior.

Behind Haverkort’s Israeli teammate Ariel Levi and Marvin Klein, Dutchman Larry ten Voorde crossed the finish line in sixth place. This means that the reigning champion from the Proton Huber Competition team goes into the almost two-month-long summer break as the leader of the standings. After eight of 16 races so far this season, ten Voorde ranks first in the overall standings ahead of Britain’s Harry King (Allied-Racing) and Theo Oeverhaus.

The Rookie classification is led by Kas Haverkort. In the ProAm, Sören Spreng extended his lead with his fifth win of the season. “I managed to fend off my closest rivals in the first half of the race,” said the businessman from Germany, who drives for Team GP Elite. “I made a few mistakes in the second half of the race, which is why things got tight again.”

With the end of the eighth race of the season, the championship also farewells Hurui Issak, who leaves the position of Project Manager Porsche Sixt Carrera Cup Deutschland after five years. His successor is Thorsten Rückert, previously responsible for the Porsche Sports Cup Deutschland. “I’m very much looking forward to this new, exciting task and the future co-operation with the drivers and teams. The doubleheader event at the Hungaroring was a great start for me. The first half of the season concluded with two new winners, one of whom even is a rookie. The foundations have been laid for a thrilling second half of the year,” commented Thorsten Rückert after his first days as the new Project Manager Porsche Sixt Carrera Cup Deutschland. The next two races of the one-make cup will take place on 17 and 18 August 2024 at the Nürburgring.
