At the halfway point of the season, Jochen Kilb and Marco Seebach lead the standings in the Porsche Endurance Challenge

At the third event of the Porsche Sports Cup Germany, SEEBACH Motorsport from Rosbach vor der Höhe once again presented a wide variety of Porsche racing cars In addition to a Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, the team also fielded three Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport, two of which even had an RS package

The Red Bull Ring, which is located in picturesque Styria in Austria, poses a special challenge for every racing driver with its fast straights and demanding corners But even before the race weekend, floods on Thursday evening caused curious scenes The masses of water that flooded the track led to a shortened test time on Friday During the Porsche Endurance Challenge race on Sunday afternoon, washed-out areas on the track caused the race to be stopped prematurely.

Steve Caroli showed a further improvement in performance in his third race weekend in the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (11) Despite an accident through no fault of his own in Saturday's race of the Porsche Sprint Challenge GT3, in which his vehicle was severely damaged, the SEEBACH Motorsport team managed to restore the car in time for Sunday's race. Caroli erreichte im zweiten Lauf der Sprint Challenge den zehnten Platz in seiner Klasse. In der Porsche Endurance Challenge, he started strongly and worked his way up from eighth to fourth place before the race was stopped Team boss Marco Seebach commented: The abandonment was a bit unfortunate for us as Steve drove a fantastic race and was on the verge of taking P3

Jochen Kilb had to make an involuntary pit stop in his Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport (29) in the first race of the Porsche Sprint Challenge GT4 due to a foreign object in the radiator grille and still fought his way back to a strong tenth place in his class In the second sprint race, Marco Seebach rode himself and was able to work his way up from seventh to second place. “I reduced the lead of the leader by eight seconds Unfortunately, I ran out of time, otherwise I could have won the race”.

In the Porsche Endurance Challenge, Kilb and Seebach secured class victory It's our third class win in the third race – it doesn't get any better than that! said Jochen Kilb happily This means that we are currently leading the overall standings in the Endurance Challenge and our goal is to continue to work in a concentrated manner and hopefully win the title at the end of the season!

Sebastian Roth had to start both races from the back of the grid in the Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport (92) as he was unable to contest qualifying due to gearbox problems After impressive catch-up races, which once again proved his exceptional skills, he finished the races in seventh and fourth place In the Porsche Endurance Challenge, the car was driven by the duo Marc Halusa and Philip Schauerte. The tactical orientation, aimed at an offensive second half of the race, proved promising. The starting driver Halusa showed a strong performance and at the same time conserved the tyres so that Schauerte would be ready to attack the competition in the decisive moments of the race after the driver change. Unfortunately, the race stoppage ruined these plans, which deprived the driver pairing of the chance to fight for a better position.

Despite the unforeseen circumstances, the team is satisfied with sixth place This performance underlines their competitiveness and the potential to compete further up the field in future races

Kai Lausberg drove at the Red Bull Ring for the first time and mastered these challenges with flying colours in his Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport (30) In the Porsche Sprint Challenge GT4, which is known for its strong field of drivers, he finished sixth in both races in his class These consistent placings are a clear sign of its continuous development and adaptability to the demanding conditions of the circuit
