A thrilling start to the Porsche Carrera Cup Benelux 2024
An incredible 88,000 spectators, two hard-fought races and six well-deserved winners. May 11th was a special day of racing at Spa-Francorchamps.
Leading with success
For 2024 DLP has joined forces with NGT Racing to sponsor young Belgian talent and if the first race of the season is anything to go by, the future is already looking bright. Talent, cutting-edge technology, and expertise are a dynamic combination.
A top performance from Paque
Benjamin Paque won the first race, praising the DLP team for the car's excellent performance. Paque took advantage of his pole position start to establish an early lead and held onto it until the finish line. On Saturday however, he was forced to retire making space for Dutch driver Dirk Schouten to claim his first victory in the championship despite a 5-second penalty.
A roaring start for the rookie
DLP’s Kobe Pauwels was the overall winner in the rookie category after crossing the finish line as the third rookie in race 1. Colin Jamie Bönighausen and Jurriaan de Back were hot on his heels but Pauwels used his experience of close battles at Rallycross to his advantage. Meanwhile, Jules Grouwels triumphed in the Pro-Am category.
