Britain’s Harry King (BWT Lechner Racing) achieved the feat of beating Porsche Supercup king Larry ten Voorde (GP Elite) in Monaco on Sunday. He caught the Dutchman, twice a Supercup champion (2020, 2021), on the first of 17 laps, then watched him in his mirrors all the way to the finish, without making a single mistake.
This will go down as one of the great performances of the weekend in the Principality. Harry King beat the Porsche Supercup favorite at the 80th Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco. Larry ten Voorde, last year’s winner, had started from pole position after dominating free practice and qualifying. But he was caught out on the 1st lap of a race that ended in slow motion under yellow flags.
Behind King and ten Voorde, the 3rd and last available podium place was taken by another Porsche Supercup raw talent, Dane Bastian Buus. He finished ahead of another Dutchman from Team GP Elite, Loek Hartog (4th), followed by Frenchman Dorian Boccolacci (CLRT) who could only manage 5th place, his grid position.
The race marked the start of the 31st season of the Porsche Supercup, which is always held as a curtain-raiser to the Formula 1 Grand Prix, throughout Europe and occasionally on other continents in exceptional circumstances. The opening race at Imola was cancelled last week due to flooding in Emilia-Romagna. The next one is scheduled on the menu of the Austrian Grand Prix, at the end of June.
