Callum Voisin rounded off his Porsche Carrera Cup Italia season with another podium at Mugello, delivering an impressive drive to third in a disrupted final race of the year.
The EDGE Sporting Management driver produced his strongest and most consistent qualifying performance of the campaign, securing fourth and fifth on the grids for the weekend’s two races.
Unfortunately, a poor launch in race one dropped Callum from fourth to eighth before the first corner, leaving him with work to do. His opportunity to recover was then severely limited when a major accident brought out the safety car at the end of the opening lap.
The lengthy neutralisation accounted for almost the entire race, with the late restart leaving little time to regain positions. Callum finished eighth, a frustrating outcome after the promise shown in qualifying.
Race two brought a different challenge. With the field initially on slick tyres, rain on the grid prompted a switch to wets ahead of the start.
Starting fifth, Callum quickly demonstrated his confidence in the conditions, progressing to third and showing pace that suggested he could challenge for victory. His charge was interrupted, however, when another incident brought out the red flag.
Tyre pressures were adjusted during the stoppage, but following the restart Callum could not quite reproduce the pace he had shown in the first half of the race. He nevertheless secured third place, bringing his Carrera Cup Italia campaign to a positive close with another podium.
“Nice to end the season on a high with another podium,” said Callum.
Reflecting on his appearances in the championship, Callum was pleased with the progress made throughout the year. The experience has provided a valuable learning curve, helping him become increasingly competitive as he adapts to the demands of Porsche racing.
His full attention now turns to the Porsche International Shootout, where he will look to build on that progress and carry the momentum of his season-ending podium into the next stage of his career.
