Press release, September 19, 2022
The Porsche Carrera Cup France made its first ever trip to the Valencia’s Ricardo Tormo racetrack as part of the GT World Challenge. Dorian Boccolacci (Martinet by Alméras) took honours in race one before Marvin Klein (CLRT) hit back in the rain in Sunday’s race. Better placed on the starting grid for Race 1, Dorian Boccolacci was the fastest out of the blocks. He grabbed the early lead and went on to dominate the race, never seriously troubled by his rivals. After running wide onto the gravel, Marvin Klein managed to find sufficient pace in the second half of the race to fight back and finish as runner-up. Bastian Buus (Allied Racing) took the final podium spot. Jérôme Boullery (Racing Technology) produced a solid performance in the Pro-Am class to take first place whilst the ABM team dominated the AM class as Sébastien Dussolliet led home a one-two-three, followed by Sébastien Poisson and Karim Ajlani. Conditions were different on Sunday for Race 2 with rain falling from the opening stages. Marvin Klein made the most of his pole position to get off to the best start, before diving into the pits quickly to fit wet weather tyres. This aggressive strategy enabled him to take the lead and then hold onto it until the end of the race. His fifth win of the season ensured Klein remains top of the Cup standings. Dorian Boccolacci managed to grab second place ahead of Vincent Andronaco (Allied Racing). Jérôme Boullery took advantage of mistakes by Sylvain Noël and Clément Mateu to claim his second win of the weekend in the Pro-Am class, whilst ABM outshone their rivals once again in the AM category, as Sébastien Dussolliet took top honours and Sébastien Poisson and Karim Ajlani completed the podium.
