W&S Motorsport in Shanghai: Pole Position and a Class Win in Extreme Conditions

Pace at the front, a class win in race 3 – a weekend of highs and lows

Ofterdingen, 10 September 2026 – An eventful weekend for Maxmore W&S Motorsport at round four of China GT in Shanghai: Moritz Berrenberg shared the #927 Porsche GT4 with Enzo Trulli, son of Formula 1 legend Jarno Trulli.

A Weekend Overshadowed by a Serious Accident

The weekend was initially overshadowed by a serious accident in the GT3 race, in which Oliver Milroy was involved in a heavy impact and his car immediately caught fire. The courageous intervention of Loek Hartog, who at great personal risk went into the burning car and rescued Milroy, prevented a tragedy.

Moments like these remind us that, for all the competition on track, we are one racing family.

Qualifying – P1 in Class and P1 Overall

Berrenberg and Trulli were strong from the outset. In Q1 they secured P1 in the PROAM class as well as P1 overall – the perfect starting position. Q2 brought P2 in class and P3 overall.

Race 1 – Bad Luck From the Front

Enzo Trulli put in a strong opening stint and handed the car over to Berrenberg in the lead. On the out-lap, however, a slow puncture began to make itself felt, forcing an unplanned pit stop for a tyre change and dropping the duo a long way back. Shortly afterwards another accident brought out the safety car, reducing the remaining racing to just three laps.

Berrenberg fought his way through the field and made two overtakes – but while attempting to pass another car there was contact that damaged the steering and ended the race early.

Race 2 – A Strong Recovery to P2

Starting the race with a five-place grid penalty, the duo fought back impressively. A collision directly ahead of them at turn 1 on the opening lap cost further positions – but Berrenberg worked his way forward consistently and handed the car to Trulli in P3.

Trulli immediately moved up to P2 and, after another safety car period, even led briefly. An aggressively defending backmarker then pushed him off the track, leaving the duo with P2 overall and P2 in class.

Race 3 – A Class Win Well Earned

Trulli started from pole position and was involved in intense battles in the early phase before he was able to open up a gap – which was neutralised by another safety car. After the pit stop Berrenberg took over, slotted in right behind the leader and took the top spot two laps later. Increasing tyre wear then called for careful tyre management.

Shortly before the end he had to let the leading Pro driver past and lost the overall lead. One further setback: the chequered flag was shown to Berrenberg a lap too early, which led him to slow down unnecessarily and cost another overall position. In the end, a well-deserved P3 overall and P1 in class still stood.

Results Overview

#927 (Berrenberg/Trulli) – Q1: P1 class / P1 overall | Q2: P2 class / P3 overall
Race 1 – DNF | Race 2 – P2 class / P2 overall | Race 3 – P1 class / P3 overall

Voice From the Weekend

Moritz Berrenberg: “It was a tough weekend with plenty of setbacks, but also with genuine highlights. Oliver Milroy’s accident shook all of us – all the more respect to Loek Hartog for his brave intervention. On the sporting side we showed that we have the pace to run right at the front. It was great fun sharing the car with Enzo – I learned new techniques from him and was impressed by how precise and smooth he is. We will take the lessons from this weekend with us and come back stronger.”
