Jorge Lorenzo files a tough weekend on four wheels

Jorge Lorenzo, Porsche Supercup debut is bitter

It was not an easy weekend for Jorge Lorenzo, who made his debut in Monte Carlo in the Porsche Supercup, in one of the events on the sidelines of the Formula 1 Grand Prix, with a sad withdrawal following a crash between the curves of the Principality.

The Majorcan, at the wheel of the Huber Racing team car, had already had a complex qualifying, which forced him to start 24th. The start of the race was good, with a couple of overtakes, but contact with Alessandro Ghiretti on lap five forced him to raise the white flag.

The race, for the record, was won by Harry King, a Briton from the BWT Lechner Racing team, ahead of Dutchman Larry ten Voorde (Team GP Elite) and Dane Bastian Buus, the winner’s teammate.
