Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup enters the second half of the season

  • One-make cup contests its fifth round at the Hungarian Grand Prix
  • Larry ten Voorde could match the record for most consecutive victories
  • Current number two Harry King won at the Hungaroring in 2023

Larry ten Voorde could match a 20-year-old record at round five of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. To date, only the German driver Wolf Henzler, Supercup champion of 2004, has won five races in a row. Next weekend at the Hungaroring, Larry ten Voorde, the most successful driver in the recent history of the one-make cup, has the chance to duplicate this feat. Round five of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup season gets underway on Sunday (21 July 2024) at 12:05 pm CEST.

Larry ten Voorde appears relaxed. “I don’t focus so much on records,” says the self-assured 27-year-old Dutchman. “What counts to me is the championship. From that point of view, a victory at the Hungaroring would obviously be great.” The two-time Supercup champion leads the overall standings with a maximum score of 100 points. He claimed victory in Imola, Monaco, Spielberg and Silverstone at the wheel of French team Schumacher CLRT’s Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. Winning every race in the first half of the season is a feat that no one else has achieved in the long history of the series.

With three second places and one fourth place so far, Harry King is the championship leader’s hottest rival. “Historically, the Hungaroring has always proven to be great turf for me, and I won the Supercup race there last season. I want to revive my championship chances in Budapest,” says the 23-year-old Englishman. He drives for the Austrian team BWT Lechner Racing.

King recently started feeling pressure from seasoned Supercup specialist Marvin Klein, Larry ten Voorde’s teammate at Schumacher CLRT. The 25-year-old from southern France finished second in the last Supercup race at Silverstone in the UK. He now sits just eight points behind King in the overall standings. Klein also won a race in the Porsche Sixt Carrera Cup Deutschland at the Hungaroring at the end of June. “I like technically demanding circuits. My first win in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup is definitely my goal,” says Klein.

Kas Haverkort (Uniserver by Team GP Elite) also celebrated a victory in the Porsche Sixt Carrera Cup Deutschland a few weeks ago on the Formula 1 circuit near Budapest. The 20-year-old Dutchman currently leads the Rookie standings in the Supercup ahead of his compatriot Robert de Haan and German Theo Oeverhaus. Both drive for BWT Lechner Racing.

“The Hungaroring marks the start of the second half of the season for us. After the last race in the unusually cold and rainy Silverstone, the drivers and teams have midsummer temperatures to prepare for. I’m curious to see whether Larry ten Voorde can match Wolf Henzler’s old record or whether one of his rivals will beat him for the first time this year,” comments Oliver Schwab, Project Manager Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.

Flagship project in the Supercup: eFuels with partner HIF Global
2024 marks the first year of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup running exclusively on predominantly fully synthetic eFuels for the first time. The raw fuel comes from the Haru Oni pilot plant in Chile, which is operated by HIF Global. This raw fuel is readied for use through a process known as blending. The final product enables the 911 GT3 Cup cars, which have a power output of around 375 kW (510 PS), to potentially run almost CO2-neutrally. A second-generation bio-based, semi-synthetic fuel mixture was already used in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup in the previous three years. Together with HIF Global, Porsche’s top one-make cup is set on taking the next step.

The Hungaroring
The first Grand Prix behind the so-called “Iron Curtain” took place on the track around 20 kilometres northeast of the Hungarian capital of Budapest in 1986. The today 4.381 kilometres long circuit is clearly visible from almost all spectator seats. The twisty course with very few straights makes overtaking difficult. Hence, a strong starting position is even more important here than on other circuits.

Fun fact: One of the five consecutive races won by record holder Wolf Henzler in the 2004 Supercup season was the race at the Hungaroring.

Overall standings Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup (after 4 of 8 races)
1. Larry ten Voorde (NL/Schumacher CLRT), 100 points
2. Harry King (UK/BWT Lechner Racing), 74 points
3. Marvin Klein (F/Schumacher CLRT), 66 points
4. Keagan Masters (ZA/Ombra), 49 points
5. Kas Haverkort (NL/Uniserver by Team GP Elite), 46 points
