Luxembourg racecar driver Dylan Pereira has climbed four places in the rankings of the 2019 Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.

Over the weekend, Dylan Pereira returned to the Red Bull Ring in Austria for the third race of the 2019 Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. Despite the heat - the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup is not air-conditioned and the cockpit can reach a temperature of 50°C - the Luxembourger finished the timed qualifying lap with the fifth fastest time. Eight minutes from the end of the timed practice, he won two of the three best qualifiers and jumped to third place on the grid.

The race itself started well for Dylan Pereira until he came off the track slightly in the third corner and fell back to 8th place. During the fourth round, he climbed to 7th place and battled with Florian Latorre for the 6th position.

The Momo Megatron Lechner Racing driver nevertheless ended the race in 7th place and secured nine points, which allowed him to climb four places to 11th place overall, with the same number of points as the 12th.

Dylan Pereira will return to competition this weekend (5-7 July) for the seventh and eighth races of the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany on the Norisring circuit in Nuremberg.
