This weekend, the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup made a guest appearance in Monaco. The Monaco Grand Prix is one of the most famous motorsport races in the world. The drivers in the one-make cup have to contend with the most difficult of conditions. Narrow bends, road markings and uneven surfaces create a unique challenge for both the drivers and the cars. With a sensational victory from pole position, “Team Allyouneed by Project 1” driver Sean Edwards proved his driving abilities and crossed the finish line with a lead of 20.323 seconds over the second placed Kuba Giermaziak. “An unbelievable performance!” beamed the current championship leader. “I had a perfect car. Thanks to Kosta and the whole team. The set up was super. We couldn’t have put in a better performance than we did. It’s been the best week of my life. First victory in the 24 hour at the Nürburgring on Monday and now victory in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup in Monaco. Now we’re going to celebrate!”

A second highlight of the weekend was the encounter between the two rally drivers, Sébastien Loeb and Sébastien Ogier. Both made appearances as guest drivers in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. Sébastien Ogier won the prestigious battle driving for “Team Allyouneed by Project 1”, finishing in 13th place, three places in front of his namesake, Sébastien Loeb, who finished in 16th place. The French driver summed up his first race in the Porsche: “It was great and I really enjoyed the race in Monaco. At first I was a bit worried about the start, but there were no problems. I haven’t made any mistakes this weekend and I’m really pleased with my first race in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup”.

The American junior driver in Paul Schlotmann’s team finished his first street race in the principality in 20th place: “It was a difficult day. After the hairpin bend I made contact with another driver. I therefore had to finish the race with a damaged car. Unfortunately, that’s the second time this season. I hope the next race will be better. But driving in Monaco is great. The atmosphere here is unbelievable.” concluded the Rookie, Sean Johnston, as he gained further incisive experience in his fledgling motorsport career.

For the team from Lohne, next weekend means changing cars and then full steam ahead to Austria and the Red-Bull-Ring in Spielberg. The next race in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup will be at the end of June at Silverstone.
