3rd Place at the Nürburgring keeps the title fight alive
Published July 25, 2011 in Porsche Cup | Kyle Williams

With the positions 3, 6 and 18 respectively, for its drivers Sean Edwards, Jeroen Bleekemolen and Khaled Al Qubaisi, ‘Team Abu Dhabi by tolimit’ stays tuned in the fight for the team and driver championship at the 6th round of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup series at the Nürburgring. In the 200th race of the championship, rain specialist Sean Edwards only started from 7th place, however, scored another podium in a great catch-up race. In the driver championship, he ranks 2nd with 90 points and within reach of the leader René Rast.
Jeroen Bleekemolen starts from position 8, however, catches up one position, too. Being one of only two race drivers who managed to be on every podium of one Supercup season, he therefore scores 10 points and continues to rank 5th. Khaled Al Qubaisi once again shows a great start in the race and competes on position 9 for some time. However, being started on rain tyres, he falls back to position 18 on the drying track during the race.

Sean Edwards: “Starting 7th and finishing 3rd is obviously a great result. Our car was fast especially in the wet. I didn’t have a perfect start, but was able to catch up some positions in the first lap. Unfortunately, I lost some time in my catch-up race, but am happy with finishing 3rd. I didn’t fully attack in the end, as I didn’t want to risk too much in the fight for the title. We will be coming back strongly in the next races, so I am already looking forward to it.”

A weekend to forget in Silverstone
Published July 13, 2011 in Porsche Cup | Kyle Williams

After the retirement of the German women’s national soccer team against Japan, also the Lohne-based ‘Team Abu Dhabi by tolimit’ suffered from challenging conditions. Mixed weather conditions and frequent rain resulted in the drivers Jeroen Bleekemolen, Sean Edwards and Khaled Al Qubaisi starting from positions 6, 10 and 23 respectively. Despite of cutting the losses in the race, the team had to settle for positions 6, 10 and 22 in the end.

Sean Edwards: “Unfortunately we pushed our luck in the qualifying. My lap on the first set of tyres was fast and we therefore wanted to save the second tyre set. But the times became faster and when I went out again, the rain was setting in and I wasn’t able to improve. The race was not good, too. We were simply lacking general pace. We will now need to sort out what was going wrong for the next race at the Nürburgring, and then come back fighting.”

The rain specialist managed to find the ideal line and overtook his competitors Tandy, Ragginger, Seyffarth and Rast before consequently winning the race.

Sean takes P2 at the Eurospeedway
Published June 21, 2011 in Porsche Cup | Kyle Williams

After a challenging qualifying at the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland race at the 3.478 km Lausitzring race track, the ‘Team Deutsche Post by tolimit’ with its drivers Sean Edwards and Jeroen Bleekemolen achieved the well-deserved positions 2 and 4. In an exciting race with a lot of fair overtaking and many spins, only 11 out of 21 drivers saw the chequered flag.

Having started from position 5, the Brit Sean Edwards pushed to 3rd place directly after the start, following the start winner Nick Tandy and pole setter Nicki Thiim. In lap 9, the experienced driver took advantage of a driving error from championship leader Tandy and conquered 2nd place. In the remaining laps, he pushed hard to overtake the lead driver Thiim, however, decided to play safe, as the Danish driver doesn’t play a big role in the championship.
