Luxembourg racecar driver Dylan Pereira has placed 2nd in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup 2018.
After two impressive third places in Barcelona and Monaco, Dylan Pereira moved to the Red Bull Ring in Austria for the third race of the championship, where he came 4th in the race and thus climbed to second place overall (46 points) just behind Germany's Michael Ammermüller (47 points) and ahead of Great Britain's Nick Yelloly (44 points).
The Luxembourger got the fifth fastest time in the free practice, but although he improved his qualifying performance, he saw his opponents make better laps, forcing him out of the tenth place of 32 Porsche GT3 Cup 2.
In the beginning, Dylan Pereira stayed on the right side of the track and again made a great first lap by winning four places. During the fourth lap, he climbed to fifth place putting pressure on the fourth, which he overtook during the next lap. He then forced the pace, recovering the three seconds that separated him from the first three drivers, making very fast turns, even getting the fastest lap of the race.
This marked a great race for Dylan Pereira, during which he proved his speed, his ease and his ability to gain places even in the difficult circuits.
Dylan Pereira will return to the track next weekend between 6-8 July for the 4th race of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup on the Silverstone circuit, which opens the British Grand Prix in Formula 1.
