Race 2 saw Eder win from Pronk with no others reaching the finish.

FIA GT3

The FIA GT3 Championship {link} got underway at Silverstone with 2 races that saw impressive results for all 3 German manufacturers, especially the 2 who were debuting their cars.
Silverstone saw Team Rosberg {link} and Phoenix Racing {link} debut a pair of brand new Audi R8 LMS' each with impressive results.

Porsche RS Spyder


After a tremendous season in 2008 there will be fewer Porsche RS Spyders competing in 2009. The works Penske {link} Spyders that won the Drivers, Manufacturers and Team LMP2 championships in the ALMS in 2008 will not be racing in 2009. Penske will instead be racing in the Grand-Am Rolex Series {link} using Porsche engines - continuing a relationship between the American team and German manufacturer that started in 1972!
Porsche has yet to decide whether to step up to the LMP1 class, to continue developing the ultra successful Spyder or whether it is best to support customer teams in LMP2 and GT classes - especially now that Audi have drastically reduced their involvement in both the ALMS and LMS series.
A Porsche/Penske challenge on LMP2 at Le Mans has not been totally discounted, neither have any firm commitments been made. The organisers of Le Mans have offered Penske two starting places but that is all that is certain at present.

Porsche GT3 Cup.

2008 and its motorsport season is only a matter of weeks away and Porsche {link} have great plans for their latest GT3 Cup car. Designed primarily for use in the Mobil 1 Supercup and the various national series the new GT3 Cup car is a logical improvement from the 2007 model. Fine detail changes have helped increase performance, the most obvious of which is increased cooling vents at the rear. The 3.6 litre flat six now produces 420PS, which is transferred through a revised 6 speed sequential gearbox that offers seamless, flat shifting. Thanks to the increased power the Porsche GT3 Cup car now has a power to weight ratio of 2.7kg/kilo.
The 26 Mobil Supercup GT3 Cup cars benefit from a revised exhaust system and PCCB ceramic brakes to increase their performance and noise in line with their Formula One supporting rol
e.
Porsche are planning to build a record 265 GT3 Cup cars this year at their recently improved motorsport headquarters in Weissach, near Stuttgart in Germany.


TECH SPEC PORSCHE GT3 CUP:~ 2 seat, 2 door Coupe. 3600cc 6 cylinder water-cooled flat 6 engine producing 420PS. 6 speed flat-shift sequential gearbox. Rear wheel drive.
