Porsche
GT3 Cup Challenge Australia
The Porsche GT3
Cup Challenge Australia is modelled
on the internationally endorsed Porsche
series of the same name and has replaced
the previously named Porsche Drivers
Challenge of Australia.
The
Series – founded in early 2008
- runs under the CAMS umbrella with
the Shannons Nationals Racing Series.
The category will be professionally
administered, however, the primary
objective is to provide a cost effective
place to ‘race your mates’
with simple rules & regulations,
value for money and a real focus on
fair and enjoyable Porsche motor sport.
The series is supported by Porsche
Cars Australia.
Melbourne
lawyer and Porsche enthusiast Sven
Burchartz won the inaugural Porsche
GT3 Cup Challenge series, driving
a 996 GT3 Cup car prepared by Sonic
Motor Racing, but was forced to work
for his win.
The first year produced four different
round winners from four rounds (Graeme
Cook, Bill Pye, Jeff Bobik and Sven
Burchartz), 27 drivers scored championship
points and provided some unforgettable
racing action on some of the best
tracks in Australia.
With
an expanded 2009 calendar, interest
in the series continues to grow. The
GT3 Cup Challenge Australia is the
series to watch!
