Bleekemolen crowns championship with victory at final

Stuttgart. With a win at the last race of the season in Abu Dhabi, Jeroen Bleekemolen from the Netherlands crowned his championship campaign in the Porsche Mobil1 Supercup. Driving for Konrad Motorsport, the title defender beat his arch rival René Rast (Germany) after a gripping duel and was handed the winner’s trophy by the Chairman of the Supervisory Board at Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Dr. Wolfgang Porsche. The distinction for second place was undertaken by Wolfgang Dürheimer, Board Member for Research and Development.

After 14 laps on the new Formula 1 circuit in the UAE, Bleekemolen took a pole-to-flag victory to celebrate his fifth win of the season. Moreover, the Dutchman set a new record in the Supercup: At all 13 rounds of the series, he secured a podium result. However, with the number of race wins, René Rast was a nose ahead: The vice-champion from VELTINS MRS Racing dominated six times.

“Winning the title makes the season perfect”

Stuttgart. The new champion is an old acquaintance: At the final of the Porsche Mobil1 Supercup on the new Formula 1 track in Abu Dhabi, Jeroen Bleekemolen secured his second title in succession with the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. “We led the points for the whole season,” said the Konrad Motorsport pilot from the Netherlands. “I think we definitely deserve this title.”

In the paddock of the popular brand trophy series, there is no doubt about this. Jeroen Bleekemolen has been the most consistent driver of the year. He not only won the two season-opening rounds in Bahrain and extended his points’ lead with victories in Istanbul and Spa-Francorchamps, but also managed to climb the podium twelve times from 13 races this season.

Win for René Rast – title for Jeroen Bleekemolen

Stuttgart. At the premiere of the Porsche Mobil1 Supercup in Abu Dhabi, René Rast (Germany) celebrated his sixth win of the season – however the championship title again went to Jeroen Bleekemolen. At the wheel of his Konrad Motorsport Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, the Dutchman secured pole position for the first of the final two rounds of the popular brand trophy series. The two extra points that he received for this were enough for him to claim the title.

On the gigantic new Formula 1 race track in the largest of the United Arab Emirates, Jeroen Bleekemolen made the best start of the field. His teammate Nicholas Tandy showed little respect for great names at his debut in the Porsche Mobil1 Supercup: The Briton promptly slipped into second position and put the front-runner under enormous pressure in the first lap. Initially, Bleekemolen was able to hold off the guest driver’s attack but had to let his arch rival René Rast overtake in lap five. Competing for VELTINS MRS Racing, the 2008 Carrera Cup champion, who had travelled to Abu Dhabi holding a small title chance, was able to quickly pull away from the rest of the field to bring home his sixth win of the season.

Title decision at the Persian Gulf

Stuttgart. The guest appearance of the Porsche Mobil1 Supercup in Abu Dhabi is a premiere and a final at the same time. The popular brand trophy series takes off for the first time on the Formula 1 track at the Persian Gulf, where the fight for the title will be decided at the last two rounds of the season this weekend. Either defending champion Jeroen Bleekemolen (Netherlands) or his German challenger René Rast will be celebrated as the new overall winner.

With his Porsche 911 GT3 Cup fielded by Konrad Motorsport, Jeroen Bleekemolen has been the most consistent this year. Not only has the Dutchman secured four victories but has climbed the podium at all eleven races to now. In contrast, VELTINS MRS Racing pilot René Rast has experienced a season of highs and lows. Rast has one more win to his credit, but he did not manage to finish all races. With one round on Saturday and one on Sunday at the final in the largest of the seven United Arab Emirates, Bleekemolen therefore holds the best cards. He is just one point off defending his title – and 15th position would do it.
