The pink color symbo­lizes BWT's mission to "Change the World – Sip by Sip". BWT Lechner Racing isn't just parta­king in races, but also in a revo­lu­tion. The stra­tegy is simple yet effec­tive: think globally, drink locally.

Equipped with a water bar, the entire team can relish BWT´s mine­ra­lized water, enhanced with vital mine­rals like magne­sium, zinc, and sili­cates, without using single-​use plastic bottles during the race weekend, to ensure they stay opti­mally hydrated. BWT Lechner Racing is spear­hea­ding systemic change for both You and Planet Blue, while cham­pio­ning waste reduc­tion, single-​use plastic, and lowered CO2 emis­sions. It empowers indi­vi­duals to make a posi­tive change, contri­bu­ting to the better­ment of our world. The journey towards sustai­na­bi­lity has begun, marked by a vibrant shade of pink.

The team has been able to achieve success in these series for many years. Now it has reached its peak, because we are the cham­pions again – Bastian Buus and BWT Lechner Racing on top.

Bastian Buus is the  Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup Cham­pion 2023 – the 10thdriver title for Lechner Racing!  BWT Lechner Racing is the winner of the  team cham­pion­ship -  the 13thtitle for Lechner Racing! And to round up a fantastic weekend, Harry King won the final race of the year, while Harri Jones in P4 reached his best result of the season!  What a great outcome for the Austrian team at the eighth and last race of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup 2023 at the clas­sical Auto­dromo Nazio­nale di Monza in front of the Italian tifosi!

Harry King managed to take the lead from pole posi­tion and defended it until the finish line, through a very eventful race with two restarts after Safety-​Car periods, and with his third win of the season also helped a lot to secure the drivers´ title for his team­mate Bastian Buus and the team cham­pion­ship for BWT Lechner Racing. “What a great way to finish the season”, the Brit was ever so happy after his third win of the season.  “I never really felt in danger, could with­stand any pres­sure from behind and bring this ever so important victory home!”

It was a more than nerve wrecking race for Buus, who had gone into the race from P9 on the grid with a 21 points lead over his closest compe­titor.  „I had  the one and only goal to stay out of any trouble. And then I suddenly got spun around from behind. The car didn´t start again imme­di­a­tely and so I dropped to the end of the field. The only thing I could do was to keep cool and make up as much ground as possible. Ever­ything else was out of my control”, the Danish Porsche Junior stated – and then was comple­tely over the moon:  “But now it is such a great feeling to win the Supercup title after a long, hard fight.  A big, big Thank You to BWT Lechner Racing, who gave me a fantastic car and a lot of support over the whole season and made this achie­vement possible.”

Austra­lian rookie Harri Jones started from P3, his best grid posi­tion in the whole year, and was in a close fight for P3 during the whole race. In the end he finished in P4, his best Supercup result ever and made it to the top step of the rookie podium.  “Monza has been our most successful weekend of the year”, the Austra­lian Porsche Carrera Cup winner 2022 was happy. “To stand on this very special podium with all its history and to hear the Austra­lian national anthem was a very special feeling and gave me goose­bumps. I’m really proud for  BWT Lechner Racing to claim another team and drivers cham­pion­ship and will always remember this great year with the team.”

For BWT Lechner Racing Team Principal and CEO Robert Lechner, it was a fantastic end to a great season: “Congra­tu­la­tions to Bastian, who showed an impres­sive perfor­mance over the whole year, was very consis­tent  and really deserves the title. It has been an incredible journey toge­ther since our first meeting in Salz­burg, with him beco­ming the youn­gest Supercup race winner and secu­ring the rookie title in a domi­nant way in 2022, then being selected as a Porsche Junior. And now he was crowned the youn­gest Supercup cham­pion ever! Harry King  drove his best Supercup season ever with two pole posi­tions and three victo­ries, more than anybody else this year. He won the start of the season in Monaco, now the final in Monza – and in between he deli­vered so well at the Hunga­ro­ring. But I was never enjoying his King-​like perfor­mance as much as here, where he did an abso­lutely perfect job, contri­bu­ting a lot to the success of the whole team. To defend our team title and win this cham­pion­ship for the 13thtime is an impres­sive record and a fantastic achie­vement. On such a happy day I would like to take the oppor­tu­nity to thank ever­y­body involved, the whole team, the drivers, our part­ners BWT, GlobeAir and Mabanaft. Looking back on day one after the end of the cham­pion­ship I am happy and proud of what we achieved all toge­ther again this year, but it is also already day one of the start into the new season.”
