PCCF – Portimão: Klein / Boccolacci, see you tomorrow!

Il y a des moments dans un championnat que l’on attend avec impatience. L’ultime course de la Porsche Carrera Cup France fait partie de cette catégorie. Ce dimanche, la PCCF aura son champion. L’arène pour les départager se trouve à Portimão et deux gladiateurs vont s’affronter pendant les 30 dernières minutes de la saison. D’un côté, le nouveau leader du championnat Marvin Klein (CLRT) et de l’autre, le pilote qui ne compte que 3 points de retard, Dorian Boccolacci (Martinet by Alméras).

This Saturday, there was little struggle as the CLRT were so dominant. Marvin Klein scored a double blow with victory and the coveted place of first overall. “ I wanted to do a good first round and I succeededi, analyzed the winner, who had found his smile again. The battle behind allowed me to escape and I then rolled out. Tonight, I'm super happy! » 

The atmosphere is less joyous at his rival despite his 3rd place of the day. If Dorian Boccolacci was unable to take the lead in the race, it was perhaps because of an incident on the first lap with Florian Latorre (CLRT). “ At turn 5, I overtook him with a superb maneuver, begins the 2021 rookie champion. He passed me again without being within the limits of the track. There was no sanction and I find that abnormal. When I go out in qualifying, I am sanctioned and he gets nothing. This kind of decision can change a race. »

Despite his frustration, the Cannes resident admits that he was less efficient than the two drivers in front of him: “ Even though I lost a lot of time on Marvin, we were really too far away today. This evening, we will spend a lot of time with the team to dissect everything. We're missing something, that's for sure. We have to analyze the data to see if it comes from my driving or the car. » Problems that Marvin Klein escaped. The Varois wanted to associate his team with this success: “ I was very comfortable in the car and it's thanks to them. They've been doing a great job since the start of the weekend and we're back on the track. We show that we are strong together. »

A few hours before the outcome, a question frequently arises: how to manage the challenges of such a race? “ It's like today, says Marvin Klein. You have to start and win the race. I don't want to think about the championship, I'll do the accounts at the end. » In the shoes of the hunter, Dorian Boccolacci knows that he will absolutely have to take risks: “ I'm leaving determined and I won't give up until the end. I'm in a position to try things. I will do everything to foil their plan. »

This Sunday, at mealtime, all eyes will turn towards the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve. Tune in at 12:45 p.m. to follow the end of the 2021 PCCF season and finally know the identity of the champion.
