TEENAGED Dutch sensation Robert De Haan, of Central Europe Racing, drove his way to a fantastic victory in the Porsche Carrera Cup Middle East (PCCME) Race 1 at the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) with a time of 25m 0.800s, ahead of DHL Team’s Theo Oeverhause, who finished second after clocking 25m 1.828s.
Fire Racing’s Colin Boenighausen came in third with a time of 25m 4.299s.
De Haan, 17, is already being spoke of as the next Max Verstappen after stunning performances throughout this year which have seen him win nearly 50 per cent of the races he has taken part in since making his debut in the Porsche Carrera Great Britain Cup at the beginning of 2023.
The teenager showcased his talent on Thursday during the two practice sessions, topping the timesheets in both before racing to an ultimately easy triumph in Race 1.
He will have the chance to repeat that performance in today’s PCCME Race 2, which takes place three hours before the 8 Hours of Bahrain race begins at 2pm.
The PCCME is holding the opening round of the 2023-24 season as part of this year’s FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) – Bapco Energies 8 Hours of Bahrain at the BIC.
