pcca rounds 9&10 post race report hd

The race for the 2015 Porsche Carrera Cup Asia overall and Class B championship titles remains wide open as the region’s premier sportscar championship resumes at Malaysia’s Sepang International Circuit this weekend, with the 28-strong fleet of Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (Type 991) racing cars set to dazzle under the tropical sun.

Leading the charge after winning six of the season’s 14 races is Kamlung Racing’s Chris van der Drift as he continues his astonishing Porsche racing debut, having won the last six consecutive races. However, keeping his eye firmly on the prize is fellow New Zealander Craig Baird of Clearwater Racing who is just 15 points behind.

Another driver who is making waves in his first season of Porsche racing is 17-year-old PICC Team StarChase driver Nico Menzel. With racing very much in his genes – he is the son of two-time Porsche Carrera Cup Asia champion Christian – the younger Menzel has made extraordinary progress since the start of the year, culminating in two podium finishes in Thailand last month to lie third on the leaderboard. Menzel made his Porsche Mobil1 Supercup debut this summer, competing in one round at the Hungaroring in Budapest and two

further races at Belgium’s legendary Spa-Francorchamps track.

Despite not having luck on his side this season, a victory and two podium finishes have ensured that Chinese star Tung Ho-Pin remains a strong championship contender, with the Budweiser Team Absolute Racing driver sitting two points ahead of Team Porsche Holding’s Martin Ragginger.

One driver who will be hoping Lady Luck is back on his side in Malaysia is 24-year-old local hero Alif Hamdan. The true talent of the reigning Class B champion, competing for the overall title for the first time this season, has been eclipsed through no fault of his own. After a racing incident in Round 7, Hamdan was unable to take the start of the second race in Thailand last month, so has some ground to make up on home turf.

The stakes are equally as high in the Class B category, with the two drivers at the top of the leaderboard both equally determined to clinch the coveted title: Team Jebsen’s Yuey Tan of Singapore retains his place at the top of the points table, however arch rival Francis Tjia of OpenRoad Racing has chipped away at Tan’s lead, reducing it to just three continued on page 2

continued from page 1 points.

Hot on their heels is 2012 Class B champion Wayne Shen, who joins his brother John in the two-car Modena Motorsports entry. Thailand’s Vutthikorn Inthraphuvasak has, like Hamdan, fallen foul of racing incidents several times this season, but a race win, three podiums and two pole positions attest to the skill and talent of

Team Porsche Holding’s Martin Ragginger laid down the gauntlet to his rivals in the 30-minuite Qualifying session to set the starting grids for Rounds 9 and 10 of the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia at the 5.543km Sepang International Circuit.

Demonstrating the closeness of the competition, the top seven were all covered by less than one second around the Malaysian F1 track, but there is no question that this weekend Ragginger is gunning for his first Porsche Carrera Cup Asia victory of the season.

With a wheel-perfect performance, the Team Porsche Holding ace recorded

the best lap of 2:09.487 early in the session and, try as they might, his rivals could not match the on-form Austrian. PICC Team StarChase driver Nico Menzel, at just 17 the youngest driver in the field, left it until the closing minutes to storm to the front row of the grid alongside Ragginger, with a lightning lap just 0.032 of a second off pole. Making up the second row of the grid for Round 9 will be overall championship leader Chris van der Drift of Kamlung Racing and Budweiser Team Absolute Racing’s Tung Ho-Pin.

In Class B, it was 2013 category champion, Egidio Perfetti of Spark Motorsports, who took pole ahead of Thai driver Vutthikorn Inthraphuvasak of est Cola Racing Team and Team Jebsen’s Yuey Tan.

With each driver’s second-best time setting the grid for Round 10, van der Drift will start from pole with Ragginger alongside,

and Menzel and Tung behind.Said Ragginger: “My Team

Porsche Holding did a really good job on the preparation. I’m very happy with this result. With the first set of tyres everything went OK. With the second set, I had a lock up at Turn 1. The sectors were better on the second run, but I couldn’t manage [a better time] because I lost four tenths at Turn 1, and to get this back in the Cup is not so easy.”

Menzel, who took his first two series podiums in Thailand last month, again showed extraordinary pace: “My qualifying was not perfect, but in the end the session worked out OK. The first stint was not the best. In the second stint I made a small mistake continued on page 3

one of Asia’s most experienced drivers.Team BC Racing’s Johnson Huang has,

like Tan and Wayne Shen, shown impressive consistency, finishing every race so far in the points to put him fifth on the leaderboard, 14 points ahead of Team Betterlife’s Li Chao.

While Hamdan may be relishing the prospect of racing on his home track, scene of the official pre-season test in March, the searing heat and humidity of Malaysia will test the drivers’ fitness and stamina to the max. The fast F1 track requires razor sharp driver responses, and in the energy-sapping conditions, a cool head will

win the day.With an international field packed

with exciting talent and formidable experience, the 2015 season has so far been nothing short of spectacular, and the six-race charge to the final chequered flag promises to be truly thrilling.

Qualifying for Round 9 of the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia will be held on Saturday, September 5, with both races held on Sunday.

continued from page 2 and then hit some traffic at the last sector and lost some time, so I know pole was possible, but I think we can be happy with second. It’ll be a great fight in the race was everyone is very close.”

With points leader van der Drift behind them, both Ragginger and Menzel will be looking for good starts in Round 9. Said van der Drift: “I need to get points; that’s my main goal. Qualifying is more difficult here because of the heat, so there’s a very small window with the tyres. In the race though, I’ll be out to cause some trouble!”

While Class B points leader Tan may have lost out on pole to Perfetti, the Singapore driver was positive ahead of Sunday’s double header: “We came in quite realistic this weekend and knew Egidio and Vutthikorn were going to be quick, but I’m actually quite happy that we’re a little closer to them than we were in some of the other races. We’ve definitely found a little bit here, and I’m content with that. Of course, if I can make up some places in the race, that’s what I’ll try!”

With the intensity of the competition reaching fever pitch as the 28 Porsche Carrera Cup Asia drivers vie for all-important championship points, Rounds 9 and 10 promise to be as scorching as the Malaysian sun.

Porsche Carrera Cup Asia Round 9 start

Rounds 9&10 :

Maiden victory for Menzel as van der Drift takes seventh win of seasonThree-time Porsche Carrera Cup Asia champions, PICC Team StarChase, took their maiden victory with new driver, 17-year-old Nico Menzel of Germany, winning Round 9 at Malaysia’s Sepang International Circuit. Second across the line was pole-sitter, Team Porsche Holding’s Martin Ragginger, followed by Clearwater Racing’s Craig Baird of New Zealand.

Round 10 saw Kamlung Racing’s Chris van der Drift bring his number of Porsche Carrera Cup Asia wins to seven. Second once again was Ragginger, with Menzel taking his fourth consecutive podium finish.

In Class B, it was Spark Motorsports’ Egidio Perfetti who took the honours in both Rounds 9 and 10, leading from pole to flag. On scorching form, he finished Round 10 fifth overall having successfully challenged a number of the professional drivers. Taking the runner-up position in both races was est Cola Racing Team’s Vutthikorn Inthraphuvasak, the Thai driver’s performance gaining momentum with each outing. Third in Round 9 was Modena Motorsports’ Wayne Shen after OpenRoad Racing’s Francis Tjia was taken out in

the closing stages of the 10-lap race, while Class B points leader Yuey Tan of Team Jebsen took the final podium place in Round 10.

With four more races on the 2016 season to go, van der Drift tops the overall leaderboard with a 19 point advantage over fellow countryman Baird. Third is Menzel, 23 points behind Baird, with Ragginger’s two podium finishes promoting him to fourth ahead of Budweiser Team Absolute Racing’s Tung Ho-Pin rounding out the top five. In Class B, Tan has strengthened his hold at the top of the points, with Wayne Shen moving up to second, 17 points behind. Inthraphuvasak jumps to third, two points in front of Francis Tjia after an unlucky weekend for the OpenRoad Racing driver, while Team Betterlife’s Li Chao of China lies fifth.

Kamlung Racing’s tyre strategy was to save the new set for Round 10, and van der Drift kept a level head in what was the second thriller of the weekend: “It was a really great race. I had a good start, but Martin [Ragginger] got beside me, which was very good for him as I knew he was on old tyres. I knew I had to find a hole as soon as possible. After the Safety Car, it was about managing the restart and not making any mistakes. I kept looking in my mirrors and saw Craig [Baird] had moved up to fourth, so the win is good for me as it puts some more points between us.”

Said a clearly delighted Menzel, who is competing in his first season of sportscar competition, after his maiden series victory: “It’s just fantastic, especially after our double podium in Thailand! It was a very tight

race. At T1 after the restart, I think Ragginger made a small mistake and I used that to overtake. It’s just fantastic to win here, especially as my PICC Team StarChase fan club is here!”

Understandably disappointed to have missed out on a win after a stellar performance in qualifying, Ragginger, who set the fastest lap of Round 9, was quick to praise his young rival: “Nico drove a really good race. I had some problems warming the tyres during the Safety Car period, and I think he had more success with that than me, but it was a good race. The tyres came back after three laps, but I could only follow him.”

Having won all four races which he has started this season, Perfetti again put in a remarkable performance to take the Class B victories in both rounds, the team choosing to run on used tyres in Round 9, saving the fresh rubber for the final race of the day: “I learned a lot from the first race, and in the second it all just came together. I truly enjoyed it. It’s good to see I can still put some pressure on the professionals. In the opening laps, I was able to pass a few cars which put me in a position to fight. I have to say, the level of competition in the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia is getting higher and higher.”

With the race for the highly-competitive Class B title wide open, Tan was delighted to earn some more silverware and even more importantly, championship points: “I had two pretty ordinary starts, so lost a few positions. I had used tyres in the second race, but we had made some set-up changes so actually the car was much better than in Round 9. There are still four races to go, and anything can happen in the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia. We are bunched up at the top [of the leaderboard], no joke!”

Round 9 was a white-knuckle thriller from start to chequered flag, with pole-sitter Ragginger storming off the grid and confidently setting offtowards the flag. Behind him, Menzel continued on page 6

continued from page 5 didn’t make the best getaway, locking up into Turn 1. van der Drift took full advantage, the pair two-abreast into Turn 1 with the New Zealand driver powering into second. Menzel recovered quickly and fought back, but almost immediately came under attack from Team Jebsen’s Rodolfo Avila, who was a man on a mission. While it looked as though the PICC Team StarChase driver was fully occupied keeping his Team Jebsen rival at bay, he dramatically dived past van der Drift to reclaim second, Avila following him through to claim third in the order.

Avila was still on a charge though, and Menzel was forced to defend again. Behind the pair, the next to challenge van der Drift was Baird, but the Safety Car interrupted that particular battle, closing up the field.

At the restart on Lap 6, Ragginger led the field away, but Avila was back on a charge, nudging Menzel to indicate it was very much game on. A battle of epic proportions ensued as Menzel challenged Ragginger for the race lead with Avila hanging on to his tailpipe.

As the trio dived into the last corner, a brilliant move by Menzel saw him get by Ragginger to take the lead. Avila tried to follow, forcing Ragginger off the track to go second before an incident dropped him down the order. Behind the front-runners, Baird got by van der Drift to go third.

Menzel set about pulling a gap from his challengers, stretching his advantage to 1.455 seconds by the flag. Behind him, Avila was ploughing his way back through the field, heading a five-car pack with Tung, Perfetti, Skyangel and

Hamdan. Battling for position with Hamdan, Skyangel spun, taking out Francis Tjia who had been running third in Class B until that point. It was a disappointing outcome for Tjia, who was blameless in the incident. That gave the third place in Class B to Modena Motorsports’ Wayne Shen.

Round 10 was a match for action, with Ragginger grabbing the lead from van der Drift off the start. Tung got by Menzel to go third, but the young German was immediately in hot pursuit. van der Drift reclaimed the lead from Ragginger under braking on the opening lap, and Tung tried a move on the Team Porsche Holding’s driver which he couldn’t make stick until the next lap. Although now up to second in the order, Tung was adjudged to have made a false start and handed a drive-through penalty.

On the following lap, Ragginger reclaimed second place which he was not to relinquish. However, the race was far from over when the Safety Car was called out on Lap 3, closing up the field.

At the restart on Lap 6, van der Drift was off like a rocket, pulling away from the chasing pack. Menzel kept Ragginger firmly in his sights, but wasn’t in a position to challenge for position before the flag. Further down the order, Avila mounted an attack on Baird, who defended with superb precision to hold his position. With Tung out of contention, Baird then closed in on

Menzel, putting the youngster under pressure in the closing stages.

The final laps saw a frantic battle between Avila, Perfetti and Malaysia’s Alif Hamdan, who had climbed from 11th on the grid to eighth in the order, eventually crossing the line in sixth having got by Avila.

In searing heat and humidity, and with cockpit temperatures reaching an estimated 60 degrees Celsius, the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia drivers had endured two, 10-lap races of unrelenting competition and proved, once again, why the championship has earned a reputation as the benchmark to which all others aspire.

Later this month, the 28-strong field of the finest GT drivers ever assembled in Asia will be back in action at the most glittering fixture on the calendar supporting the F1 Singapore Grand Prix. There, the battle for the overall and Class B titles will resume on the demanding Marina Bay street circuit from September 18-20. Who will be victorious under the sparkling lights of the Lion City? With a level of competition unmatched in Asia, and with two of the most coveted titles in motorsport up for grabs, it’s just too close to call.
