Brits Clinch Porsche Michelin Supercup

British driver Richard Westbrook clinched victory for the Lechner Racing School Team at the season’s opening round of the Porsche Michelin Supercup in Bahrain.

According to race commentary Westbrook started the 12-lap race from pole position and though he lost the sprint to the first corner against Christian Menzel of Germany he regained the lead in the seventh lap.

Westbrook is only the second British driver since Kelvin Burt in 1994 at Silverstone to win a Porsche Michelin Supercup race.
