Porsche Supercup Qualifying, Monaco

Sean Edwards (GB), Team Allyouneed by Project 1

It will be  Sean Edwards ahead of Kuba Giermaziak for tomorrow's Porsche Supercup race in Monaco.

Edwards and Giermaziak

Qualifying were marked by many yellow flags and a couple of heavy crashes in the closing minutes of the session.

Even more than Formula cars Supercup races in Monaco tend to have eventful qualifying and no passing at all in the race so Edwards is well placed for a second win on his home track.

“Our car ran perfectly, it was great to drive. The many yellow flags made it a very difficult qualifying session. I think a faster time would have been possible, but I didn’t really get a clean run. That makes pole position all the more sweeter. For tomorrow’s race I’m of course hoping for a perfect start – and for my second victory in Monaco.”

Sebastien Loeb

Loeb and Ogier

Of note,  there are not one but two WRC superstars competing this week end with Sebastien Loeb joined by the other Seb,  Sebastien Ogier.

“I was almost in despair. I didn’t get one free lap."  said Loeb who qualified 15th  " At one point I was on the way to a new fastest time, but suddenly two cars stood in the middle of the track. That was typical of this qualifying.”
