The stage is set for a dramatic Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup season finale: after six of eight rounds, three drivers still have the strongest title chances. French Porsche Junior Alessandro Ghiretti, driving for Schumacher CLRT, leads the standings by just four and six points respectively over Dutch rivals Robert de Haan (BWT Lechner Racing) and Flynt Schuring (Schumacher CLRT). The penultimate race takes place this coming weekend at Zandvoort. The 4.2-kilometre dune circuit just outside Amsterdam is renowned for its fast, partially banked corners. Alongside the demanding layout, drivers also have to contend with shifting winds and sand blowing across the track from the beach.
Although Ghiretti could only manage sixth place last time out in Budapest, losing ground in the points table, the 23-year-old Porsche Junior remains confident ahead of the trip to the Dutch North Sea coast: “My team Schumacher CLRT has always performed strongly at this circuit. I’m confident we can be in the fight for the front positions again in Zandvoort.”
Ghiretti’s pursuers, Robert de Haan and Flynt Schuring, can count on home support at Zandvoort. “Racing in front of Dutch fans is always something special. And Circuit Zandvoort is a true driver’s track that’s incredible fun to race on,” says de Haan, who, like Ghiretti, has already claimed two victories this season. Schuring may not have stood on the top step of the podium yet, but with runner-up finishes at Spa and Budapest he has closed to within six points of Ghiretti and just two points of de Haan. One crown already looks certain for the 19-year-old: in the Rookie classification, Schuring, brother of DTM driver Morris Schuring, has won five of six races so far, giving him a virtually unassailable 48-point lead over Germany’s Janne Stiak (Target Competition).
The team championship of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup could also be wrapped up at Zandvoort: Schumacher CLRT holds a 23.5-point advantage over Austrian squad BWT Lechner Racing. With a maximum of 45 points still available, however, that cushion could vanish quickly.
The drivers’ title may well hinge on Zandvoort, but a true championship showdown is more likely one week later at Monza. The 5.8-kilometre temple of speed in the Royal Park just outside Milan is legendary for its slipstream battles, with Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars reaching top speeds beyond 270 km/h.

HIF: official series partner
The eFuel blend used in the 2025 Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup (PMSC) technically meets the new Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) Appendix J requirements for renewable (“Advanced Sustainable”) fuel and, with all combined CO₂ reduction measures*, corresponds to a total CO₂ equivalent reduction of 66% compared to a fossil fuel equivalent. The proportion of renewable components in this performance-specialised racing fuel blend is 79.7% by volume. The largest proportion of the components is renewable synthetic raw petrol, known as MtG (methanol-to-gasoline). Other blending components include renewable, waste-based or residual-based ethanol, which is used to increase the oxygen content in the fuel and the octane rating, among other things. The octane rating is 100.5 RON. The racing fuel blend was developed specifically for the boxer engines used in motor racing and combines high performance with the highest possible proportion of renewable blending components.

* HIF, the manufacturer of the raw fuel used for the racing fuel blend, is taking several measures at its Haru Oni pilot plant in Chile to keep CO₂ emissions from production as low as possible. Among other things, the electricity required for grid connection and control room stabilisation is sourced exclusively from renewable wind energy. At the same time, CO₂ emissions from transport are offset by CO₂ certificates from South American renewable energy plants for the provision of biogenic CO₂ for eFuel synthesis. This means that, as far as possible, all elements in the supply chain can demonstrate a reduction in CO₂ emissions. HIF has set itself the goal of obtaining the CO₂ required for the synthesis process from a direct air capturing (DAC) plant in the future. Development is being driven forward in collaboration with partners. To minimise the need for grid stabilisation, HIF is also integrating a dynamic battery storage system to act as an energy buffer. This will enable HIF to transfer important findings from the pilot plant to potential series production plants.
