W&S Motorsport took part in the very first GT Summer Series weekend at the Hockenheimring. The team has previously competed in the GT4 Winter Series and is delighted that the successful format has now found a home in thesummer as well. With Alexander Danzer and Gökay Kulut sharing the Porsche GT4 #30 in the AM class, the duo experienced an eventful weekend – one that reached its peak with a class victory. 

A Special Weekend for Gökay Kulut 

Before the first race even began, Gökay Kulut had already written his own personal success story: he completed his racing licence course right there in Hockenheim – and passed with flying colours. The DMSB issued the licencewithout delay, leaving nothing standing between him and his racing debut. An impressive start to a motorsport career, handled by Kulut with great composure and determination. 

Qualifying 

The duo delivered a consistent performance across both qualifying sessions. In Q1, Danzer and Kulut secured second in class. Q2 followed with third in class – a solid foundation heading into the three races of the weekend. Alexander Danzer in particular impressed during practice with consistently fast lap times. 

Race 1 – Alexander Danzer 

The first race took place in wet conditions. Alexander Danzer handled the challenging circumstances with confidence, driving a clean and composed race in the rain and bringing the Porsche GT4 home in second place in class and 12th overall. 

Race 2 – Gökay Kulut 

The second race belonged to Gökay Kulut – at his very first race ever. He delivered a strong and mature performance, initially classified in third place in class and 15th overall. 

Race 3 

The third race unfortunately had to be abandoned early due to technical problems. A frustrating end to an otherwise strong weekend – the team is analysing the cause and looks ahead with optimism. 

Voices from the Weekend 

Gökay Kulut reflected enthusiastically on his first ever race weekend: “It was an absolutely unforgettable weekend – my very first in motorsport. Getting my licence on site and then heading straight into a race was a very specialexperience. In the test days we always drove in the dry – and then the first race came straight in the rain. But everything went brilliantly and the team supported me incredibly well. I had so much fun!” 

Alexander Danzer was equally pleased: “Everything went really well overall. We worked well together as a duo and were able to deliver consistent performances. A big thank you goes to coach Hendrik Still, who helped usenormously throughout the whole weekend.” 

Team Manager Axel Randolph summarised: “Apart from the final race, it was a successful weekend from my perspective – one we can build on. It was particularly great to see both drivers improve throughout the weekend, especially Gökay, who sat in a racing car for the very first time on Thursday, earned his licence and went on to deliver strong races.”
