A week after Spa-Francorchamps, the Porsche Carrera Cup France headed to Magny-Cours for round three of the series, held as part of the GT World Challenge Europe. Marvin Klein (CLRT) produced a flawless performance in central France, claiming two pole positions and two race wins to take maximum points from the weekend and extend his championship lead.

A crash in race one cut short the racing action to a ten-minute sprint. Klein managed the restart perfectly, holding off the attentions of Alessandro Ghiretti (Martinet by Alméras) to collect his third win of the season. Danish driver Bastian Buus (Allied Racing) took the final podium spot. Meanwhile, Jérôme Boullery (Racing Technology) bagged his fifth consecutive win in the Pro-Am class, while Stéphane Louard (ABM) finished ahead of Patrick Charlay (TFT Racing) in the Am class.

In Saturday’s race, Marvin Klein (CLRT) executed his plan perfectly as he dominated the race from start to finish, once again collecting a bonus point for the fastest race lap. Forced to score heavily after finishing fourth in race one, Dorian Boccolacci (Martinet by Alméras) pushed hard to try and get past the leader but to no avail. He finished runner-up ahead of Bastian Buus (Allied Racing) and remains in touch with Klein in the Cup standings. Clément Mateu (CLRT) took advantage of the close battle between team-mates Sylvain Noël (Racing Technology) and Jérôme Boullery (Racing Technology) to grab victory in the Pro-Am class. Finally, Sébastien Poisson confirmed the domination of ABM in the Am class as he grabbed the team’s second win of the weekend, finishing ahead of Stéphane Louard and Patrick Charlay (TFT Racing).

The Porsche Carrera Cup France now takes a four-week mid-season break. Action resumes on 18-19 June – again as part of the GT World Challenge Europe – at the demanding Zandvoort race track, where the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (992 generation) drivers are sure to enjoy a special thrill taking on the iconic Tarzan corner, famous for its overtaking moves.
