A turbulent start to the race for Julien Andlauer and his teammates

Forced to serve a penalty after Felipe Nasr was deemed responsible for contact with the No. 5 JDC Miller-MotorSports car, which sent it into a spin, Porsche finally regained the lead with the No. 7 ahead of the No. 6 after three hours of racing. Thankfully, the car remained intact. I think we had an excellent strategy to get back to the front. The pace was excellent too. Both cars were fantastic in that respect today! “,” commented the former Porsche Carrera Cup France presenter, from whom he himself hails. With this result, Julien Andlauer and his teammates have made a perfect start to the season, although some tensions arose after races with their garage neighbors.
