Moritz Berrenberg Triumphs at China GT – Double Victory in Shanghai

Perfect Weekend for Maxmore W&S Motorsport Driver Moritz Berrenberg in the Porsche GT4 #927

A weekend to remember: Moritz Berrenberg claimed victory in both races at the China GT with the Porsche GT4 #927 under the banner of Maxmore W&S Motorsport, topping both the overall GTS classification and the AM class on each occasion. With strong qualifying results, two strategically flawless races and an outstanding driving performance, Berrenberg proved emphatically that he belongs at the very front of the field.

An Impressive Championship

One look at the paddock made it clear: the China GT has developed into a top-class championship. With 27 cars competing in the GTC/GTS classification, the level has risen significantly, and the highly competitive drivers across all classes have demonstrated convincingly that the series belongs among the world’s elite in GT motorsport. For Berrenberg, it was a weekend that showed what is possible when driver, team and strategy come together perfectly.

Qualifying

Free practice already hinted that Berrenberg and his team had the potential to fight at the very front – even though there were still reserves left in both car and driver. Qualifying confirmed it impressively: in Q1, Berrenberg set the fourth-fastest time overall and secured pole position in the GTS AM class. Q2 brought third overall and second in class – a strong starting position for both races.

Race 1

The first race was turbulent. Multiple safety-car phases produced a chaotic event, but Berrenberg stayed focused and seized every opportunity. He gained a position at the very first corner and tucked GTC traffic between himself and the next GT4 car – a clever move that allowed him to run his own rhythm. The team executed a textbook strategy with a successful undercut, putting Berrenberg in a decisive position. Just before the final safety car, he completed the winning overtake – and drove to overall victory in the GTS class.

Race 2

Berrenberg delivered an equally strong performance in the second race. The car felt perfectly balanced. After an intense early-laps duel with a BMW, he fought back and started to build a gap. He closed in on the two leading Toyotas with determination – and once again the team executed flawlessly at the pit stop. A second undercut put Berrenberg into the lead. He managed the remainder of the race with consistent pace and safe hands – securing his second class win of the weekend. A perfect weekend.

Voice from the Weekend

Moritz Berrenberg (#927) was beaming after the double victory: “It was an outstanding weekend overall, and very impressive to see how the championship has developed. The level has clearly gone up – big grid, very strong drivers in every class. From free practice on we showed that we had the pace to be right at the front. The team did an incredible job this weekend – from the setup to the strategy to the execution in the pits. A huge thank you to everyone involved.”
