16.04.2013: Blancpain Endurance Series, Monza - Harter Kampf für das HARIBO RACING TEAM

Blancpain Endurance Series, Monza




- Harter Kampf für das HARIBO RACING TEAM

- Dem gutem Qualifying folgte in Monza das Pech im Rennen




Am zweiten April-Wochenende startete das HARIBO RACING TEAM  mit Vollgas in die Saison.  Richard Westbrook (Großbritannien), Mike Stursberg (Wermelskirchen) und Hans-Guido Riegel (Bonn) absolvierten auf der Rennstrecke im königlichen Park von Monza den ersten Lauf zur Blancpain Endurance Series im neuen Porsche 997 GT3 R .


„Es war ein unglaublich großes Starterfeld“, resümierte Mike Stursberg nach dem Blancpain-Auftakt. „60 Fahrzeuge in Monza: Das brachte die Strecke in jeder Hinsicht an die Belastungsgrenze.“ Die erste Standortbestimmung der Saison in der Serie, die als „Champions League des GT3-Sports“ gilt, zeigte:


Nicht nur das Interesse der Teams hat zugenommen, auch die Anforderungen sind über den Winter noch einmal deutlich gestiegen. Dennoch konnte sich der neu aufgebaute Porsche 997 GT3 R des HARIBO RACING TEAMS im Qualifying gut behaupten. Startplatz zehn im Gesamtklassement bedeutete die vierte Position in der PRO-AM-Klasse, in der sich Profi-Piloten und Gentleman Drivers die Cockpits teilen.


Das ereignisreiche Rennen meinte es dann aber nicht gut mit dem Bonner Team: In der schwierigen Startphase fiel der Porsche zurück und hatte dann auch noch Pech, denn als Hans-Guido Riegel nach dem ersten Stint das Steuer an Mike Stursberg übergab, verlor das Team rund eine halbe Minute: „Hinter uns kam ein BMW an die Box und parkte so dicht bei uns, dass wir den Porsche nach dem Reifenwechsel nicht herunterlassen konnten“, berichtete Mike Stursberg.


„In der Boxenstoppphase kam es nicht nur bei uns zu solchen Szenen, die das sportliche Geschehen unnötig beeinflussten und unter Sicherheitsaspekten bedenklich sind. Wir hoffen, dass die Organisatoren der Serie geeignete Maßnahmen ergreifen, um diese schwierigen Verhältnisse zu ändern.“


Allerdings ging nicht nur in der Box Zeit verloren – Stursberg erlebte während seines Stints mehrere Safety-Car-Phasen, bei denen er sich ungünstig einreihen musste. Stursberg: „Das Safety Car setzte sich kurz vor uns auf die Strecke, der Rest des Feldes holte auf – darunter auch Teams, die vor uns lagen. Damit vergrößerte sich unser Rückstand auf über eine Runde. Das ist einfach Pech.“


So blieb am Ende ein wenig befriedigendes Ergebnis: Platz 18 im Gesamtklassement und der siebte Rang in der PRO-AM-Wertung trösteten nicht darüber hinweg, dass der HARIBO-997 GT3 R als zweitbester Porsche abgewinkt wurde. Für die kommenden Tage hat sich das Team deshalb eine sorgfältige Analyse der Ergebnisse und Daten vorgenommen.


 „Natürlich hatten wir auch Pech“, so Stursberg, „aber wir wollen auch sehr genau schauen, wo wir womöglich Zeit liegen lassen.“
