Dutchman Larry ten Voorde (Schumacher CLRT), who started from pole position, became the only three-time winner of the Porsche Supercup in Monaco at midday on Sunday, without ever being troubled by his great rival Harry King. A talented young South African, Keagan Masters, was also on the podium, behind the untouchables.
It was another great race, the third in a row after the F3 and F2 races, to round off this morning’s curtain-raiser to the 81st Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco in style. There were some great battles, with Marvin Klein (Schumacher CLRT) managing to briefly occupy 4th place, but he had to concede defeat in the end to another Dutchman, Kas Haverkort (Uniserver by Team GP Elite).
The history of the Porsche Supercup will remember that King, winner last year in the Principality, finished 1.2 second behind ten Voorde, recruited this winter by the Schumacher CLRT team originally founded by French driver Côme Ledogar. Alessandro Ghiretti (8th), the third driver in the Schumacher CLRT combo, rounded off the demonstration of French teams and drivers combined, as well as Victor Bernier, the rookie from the Martinet by Alméras team (10th).
In the Porsche Supercup, created over 30 years ago and run as a curtain-raiser to 8 F1 Grands Prix a year, mainly in Europe, ten Voorde, twice champion of the discipline (2020, 2021), is now the only driver to have triumphed three times in the Principality. That’s one more victory than his compatriot Michael Bleekemolen (2007, 2008) and Monegasque Stéphane Ortelli (2000, 2001).
