Oscar Piastri was not the only Aussie to stand on the podium in Bahrain with Caleb Sumich doing the same in Porsche Carrera Cup Middle East.
Sumich was a consistent force for the globally respected Lechner Racing outfit finishing third and fourth in the two support races at the Bahrain Grand Prix.
The results continue the youngster’s impressive run since joining the series in round three.
Sumich has started six races and has not finished any of them outside the top four, highlighted by three podiums.
These performances have impressed many as he will he get the privilege of upgrading to DHL colours for the season finale at this weekend’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
“I’m thrilled to be stepping into the DHL car for Jeddah,” said Sumich.
“Lechner Racing has been an incredible team to work with, and to now carry the DHL colours at one of the most iconic and high-speed circuits on the calendar is a real honour.
“Bahrain was a great weekend, and I’m looking to keep that momentum going.”
