The 2014 Porsche Carrera Cup Germany championship has already proven to be one of the most competitive championships in the world. With a different winner in each race so far and only a 7 point spread between the top 5 drivers, consistency has been key to De Phillippi’s success. Coming off a podium finish the previous round at Hockenheim, De Phillippi continued his consistent running at the front of the pack and ended the weekend as the overall points leader in the driver’s championship.

With a massive grid of 37 drivers, representing 11 different countries to kick off the championship, American Connor De Phillippi started from pole position after breaking Porsche Factory driver Nick Tandy’s 2011 qualifying record around Hockenheim.

The 2014 race season got off to a great start for the young Porsche Junior driver. With a solid P5 finish in race 1 at Hockenheim, De Phillippi will start from pole position in race 2 thanks to a new qualifying lap record!
