Turkish driver Ayhancan makes auto racing history


Turkish racing driver Ayhancan Güven, who is supported by Turkey's Automobile Sports Federation (TOSFED) and Spor Toto, won two titles at France's Circuit Paul Ricard on Monday.

Güven won the 2018 Porsche GT3 Cup Benelux earlier Sunday and made history by winning a second title in the race.

He also has become the first foreign pilot to have won a title in France's Porsche Carrera Cup.

TOSFED President Serkan Yazıcı said: "Ayhancan has proved that our young people can achieve worldwide success if they get the opportunity. I congratulate him heartily and believe these achievements will be a milestone in Turkey's automobile sports history."

Born in 1998, Ayhancan is one of the youngest professional racing drivers in the motor sports world. Born to a race car driver father, Ayhancan has been at the wheels since he was 4.

He took his first steps with race simulations and go-kart racing. He is currently racing in the Porsche Carrera Cup Championship and is the best driver in his age category.
