Run of bad luck continues in Monza
Published September 13, 2011 in Porsche Cup | Kyle Williams

After a solid performance in yesterday’s qualifying of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup round in Italian Monza and starting positions 4, 5 and 23 respectively, ‘Team Abu Dhabi by tolimit’ experienced a jet black day come race day. Title contender Sean Edwards was involved in an unlucky incident in the first part of the race and wasn’t able to finish the competition. Team mate Jeroen Bleekemolen span, fell back to the back of the field and caught up to position 13. Khaled Al Qubaisi spun from the track and didn’t see the chequered flag, too, however, was finally weighted 21st.

Due to not scoring points, Sean Edwards fell back to position 4 in the driver standings, however, still has all chances to win the title in the season finale in Abu Dhabi, where two races will be carried out. Jeroen Bleekemolen ranks 6th in the championship.

A Spa to forget
Published August 28, 2011 in Porsche Cup | Kyle Williams

Mixed emotions at ‘Team Abu Dhabi by tolimit’ while Jeroen Bleekemolen from ‘Team Abu Dhabi by tolimit’ hardly missed the podium with a 4th place at the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup round in Spa-Francorchamps, team mate Sean Edwards chose the wrong line at the start, achieved position 6 and had to hand over the lead in the driver championship. Khaled Al Qubaisi achieved another good result with position 18 at the challenging and iconic Belgian track and due to guest starters ahead of him secured two more championship points.
In a qualifying session full with yellow flags, neither Sean Edwards nor Jeroen Bleekemolen or Khaled Al Qubaisi managed to smash a completely free lap. Nevertheless, starting positions 3 for Edwards, 6 for Bleekemolen and 19 for Al Qubaisi were better than expected under these conditions.

Sean Edwards: “Unfortunately, my qualifying was destroyed by yellow flags, but my first lap fortunately was good enough for position 3. In the race, I actually had a good start, but no place to go in turn one, so I had to open the door for Tandy. I thought it would work out to get past him again, but then I got on the marbles and also had to let Jeroen and Rast pass by. Then Engelhart hit me later on, too. 6th place is obviously not what you hope for when started from 3rd place, but the championship is still wide open. So I am concentrating on the next race in Monza.”

3rd Place at Road America after chaotic last lap
Published August 25, 2011 in Endurance | Kyle Williams

NGT Motorsport came back from a weekend seemingly filled with adversity to earn a hard-fought third place in the Grand Touring Challenge (GTC) class in the Time Warner Cable Road Race Showcase at Road America, Round Six of the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patron.

Porsche Carrera Cup point leader Sean Edwards shared driving duties during the four hour endurance event with IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge by Yokohama standouts Henrique Cisneros and Carlos Kauffmann, taking the #30 NGT Porsche from its last place starting position to first at the white flag, as the team gambled on fuel strategy in an attempt to earn their first ALMS victory. In the end, NGT duplicated their maiden effort at Sebring with a third place finish.

Heartbreak at the Nurburgring
Published August 12, 2011 in Porsche Cup | Kyle Williams

After an almost perfect qualifying session on Saturday, ‘Team Deutsche Post by tolimit’ had to swallow a double dose of back luck at the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland round at the Nürburgring on Sunday. Despite of the pole position, the win of the starting duel and the lead in 22 out of 24 laps, Sean Edwards had to give up the lead in the penultimate lap due to a damaged tyre and saw the start-finish-line in slow drive on position 18 in the end. Outside of the points’ positions, he therefore had to hand over the lead in the driver standings to Nick Tandy. With a gap of only 4 points, however, the Brit still keeps all his title chances and the championship stays open for the remaining two races.

Christopher Mies, who was replacing regular driver Jeroen Bleekemolen this weekend, was fighting with the brake system after having achieved a fabulous 3rd position in qualifying. Being used to racing with ABS brakes in endurance cars, he braked too late in his 911 GT3 Cup race car in lap 18 and span off the track. Unfortunately, he touched some competitors and faced a drive-through-penalty therefore. In the end, he ranked 15th.

Sean retakes the Championship lead in Budapest!
Published August 1, 2011 in Porsche Cup | Kyle Williams

With a double podium finish for the drivers Jeroen Bleekemolen and Sean Edwards on positions 2 and 3 respectively, ‘Team Abu Dhabi by tolimit’ finishes as the best team at the Hungaroring and impressively fights back the lead in the driver standings for Sean Edwards. The first Top 10 position for Abu Dhabi representative Khaled Al Qubaisi completes the weekend for the Lohne-based team.

Again a race under mixed weather conditions, the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup round at the Hungaroring was shaped by a lot of position changes. Having started from position 7, Jeroen Bleekemolen was the one to profit the most out of it: “It was a very good race. At first I los t some positions at the start, as I didn’t have much grip, but soon after it all worked out well and I had some great overtaking manoeuvres. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to take the win, but despite of this it was a perfect weekend for me and the team.”
