Just came back from the Hockenheimring racetrack in Germany where took place last weekend the second meeting of the 2023 Porsche Carrera Cup Benelux.
The international pro driver Bertrand Baguette joined the team AUGUST by NGT driving the #92 ā«ļøš”š“ Porsche 992 GT3 Cup crew. It promised to not be an easy one with his first time on this racetrack and his first time in the car in a very competitive championship.
After Tuesday testday, it was sure we needed to find āļø setup things and improved the performance of the car to fight for the front rows. Qualifications were not easy in unknowing š„ hot conditions for the team and Bertrand set the 9th and 8th times for the two races.
In the first lap of the first 30min confrontation, a āļø flat spot on a wheel made it difficult to follow the pace, but we went through all the incidents in front and finished P6ļøā£. ā± Lap times were quite better in the race 2 and the driver was able to follow the front car and scored a beautiful P5ļøā£, closing a lot to the pace of the best compare to where we started the week š!
What a pleasure to work with such an experienced factory driver, thanks for the trust. š Still a lot of work to improve the pace of the car and show all the potential team.
š Congrats to the sister car #15 of Glenn Van Parijs for the P3 position and the win in the races!
š Next round in two weeks in Circuit Zandvoort!
