Porsche Club motorsport consists of motorsport activities organised by the Porsche Club for its members. These activities require every participant to be a member of Porsche Club GB and to be competing in a Porsche. The Regulations applicable to each form of competition will determine which Championship that car can be used in. The Club organises three Championships, as below. The Porsche Club Speed Championship is generally viewed as the first step into motorsport and involves both hillclimb and sprint events. Our championship has a mix of people who are just starting out in motorsport, but do not have a desire to race and feel more comfortable being on their own against the clock. Some are absolute beginners just starting out and others have been competing over many years – a mix of ‘newbies’ and past champions. The Porsche Club National Hillclimb Championship is, as its name suggests, a championship focussed just on specialised hillclimb events.

  • Press Release July 5, 2015 No
    Press Release July 5, 2015 No. M 109/15 Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, round 4, Formula 1 race at Silverstone/Great Britain Philipp Eng continues his winning streak with a victory Stuttgart. Philipp Eng (Market Leader Team by Project 1) from Austria celebrated a successful weekend in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. On the 5.891 kilometre Silver- stone circuit, famed for its fast corners, 25-year-old Eng crossed the finish line first ahead of Alex Riberas (E/The Heart of Racing by Lechner) and Michael Ammermül- ler (D/Lechner Racing Middle East). “I got away perfectly at the start and I’m over the moon with this important win. Silverstone is a demanding track and everything simply ran very smoothly for me,” said Eng, after receiving his trophy. With 70 points, Eng ranks first in the drivers’ standings after four of eleven championship rounds. A total of 31 competitors from 13 countries headed into the Silverstone weekend on Friday with their 460 hp Porsche 911 GT3 Cup race cars. By Sunday, Eng was the undisputed man of the series, claiming pole position in qualifying and victory at Sun- day’s race. From the first race of the season in Barcelona, Eng’s form has continued on an upward trajectory. At the season-opener he finished on fourth, in Monaco and Spielberg he clinched second, and now at Silverstone the Salzburg-born racer finally netted his first Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup win of the season. Riberas was another strong contender this weekend. As the fastest in practice and the second fastest in qualifying, the Lechner pilot kept Eng under constant pressure and at times even came within 0.3-seconds of the leader.
