Bathurst-12-Hour-Med MEDIA GUIDE DAVID CALVERT-JONES David, or ‘CJ’ as he is known, is a US-based Australian. When he is not racing Porsches, CJ runs Helifilms - a helicopter filmwork company which provides aerial images for feature films and the world’s biggest sporting events including the Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games and FIFA World Cup. CJ has flown helicopters himself - in both filming and stunt-based roles - for box office hits such as Transformers, Star Trek into Darkness and Déjà Vu. CJ is also a Producer for his own film and television production company. CJ took up motorsport in 2011 after attending a club event at California’s Auto Club Speedway where he sampled a friend’s BMW and since then has contested a season in IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge, where he finished 2nd in the Gold Cup class in 2012 having won a race at the legendary Mosport circuit in Canada. Age: 44 Lives: Los Angeles, CA, USA CJ has also raced in iconic sportscar events such as Petit Le Mans, 12 Hours of Sebring and last year’s Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12 Hour. ALEX DAVISON A third-generation member of the Davison racing dynasty, Alex Davison’s international racing resume reads as one of the most impressive among Australian drivers. A veteran of 149 V8 Supercar starts, Davison is also regarded as a ‘gun’ Porsche driver, and with very good reason. Davison’s history with Porsche dates back to 2000 when, as a teenager straight out of Formula Ford, he raced for Manthey Racing in Carrera Cup Germany. Davison is the only Australian driver to win a race of Porsche Supercup having won at Indianapolis in 2002, and also finished second in the 2008 Le Mans Series, partnering good friend and Porsche factory driver Marc Lieb at Team Felbermayr-Proton. Domestically, Davison is a former champion and twice runner-up in Age: 34 Carrera Cup, and a pole winner and podium finisher in V8 Supercars. Lives: Gold Coast, QLD, Australia In 2013, Davison raced in V8 Supercars for Jeld-Wen FPR, registering a best finish of third in the penultimate event at Phillip Island. PATRICK LONG A Porsche factory driver of over 10 years, Patrick Long is one of the world’s best GT/ sports car drivers. That fact is indisputable with Long having the following titles to his name … three American Le Mans Series (ALMS) GT2 championships, two class wins in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, a class win in both the Rolex 24 at Daytona and 12 Hours of Sebring, 23 ALMS race wins and a host of successes in top-line sports car series including Grand-Am, VLN Masters and Pirelli World Challenge. While Long has become synonymous with Porsches, he is also incredibly versatile. In 2013, Long won his class in the Baja 1000 off- road race and has previously raced in NASCAR road course events. V8 Supercar fans will remember Long for his performances in the Gold Coast 600, where he was one of the stand-out internationals in 2010 Age: 32 and 2011. Lives: Clearwater, FL, USA Currently US-based, Long began his career in open wheelers in Europe. He speaks English, French, Italian and German. THE TEAM Competition Motorsports (CM) is an American GT sports car team and Porsche racecar preparation service based in Tujunga, California. CM was established in 2006 by GT racer Bob Faieta and has competed in the GTC category of the American Le Mans Series as well as the IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge, where CM and Faieta are three-time champions (2006-08). CM’s Porsche 997 GT3 Cup car will be prepared and run by McElrea Racing (MR), one of the leading Porsche racing teams and tuning experts in the southern hemisphere. MR currently runs five cars in Carrera Cup Australia, in addition to campaigns in Carrera Cup Asia, GT3 Cup Challenge and the Porsche Sport Driving School Australia and its own MR Tuning and MR Driver Development programs. MR are multiple race winners in Carrera Cup Australia and 2011 Teams’ Champions. Team principal Andy McElrea is a former Formula Ford and TraNZam champion driver in his native New Zealand. ICEBREAK IceBreak is an iconic Australian brand of iced coffee, priding itself on being the original brand to kick start the morning. It is available in three core variants: original (pictured), Extra Shot and No Added Sugar. IceBreak has been associated with motors and motor sports for over a decade, well known for its sponsorship of Chris Pither in the V8 Supercar Dunlop Series and V8 Utes. The most recent advertising campaign for the brand illustrates the brand’s association with motors, featuring an array of vehicles all demonstrating the desirability of this product amongst Aussie males. BATHURST 12 HOUR The Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12 Hour is Australia’s longest - and arguably, toughest - circuit endurance race held at the holy grail of Australian motorsport, Mount Panorama in New South Wales. This year’s 12 Hour is the 13th running of the race which is fast becoming a ‘must win’ event on the international GT racing calendar. The 2014 event will play host to the world’s best GT teams and drivers and a number of V8 Supercar aces representing 15 manufacturers. Competition Motorsports will be competing in Class B for FIA GT3 specification cars. Of the 15 entries in Class B, 13 are Porsche 997 GT3 Cup cars. The race kicks off at 6:15am on Sunday, February 9.

  • The Streets of Adelaide Await.. GB Galvanizing M Motorsport Preview Rnd#2 Australian GT Championship Presented by Pirelli (Clipsal, Adelaide SA) 26 February, 2013
    The streets of Adelaide await.. GB Galvanizing M Motorsport Preview Rnd#2 Australian GT Championship presented by Pirelli (Clipsal, Adelaide SA) 26 February, 2013 After an outstanding debut to his 2013 national GT campaign, dual Victorian Sportscar State Champion Justin McMillan heads to round two of the Australian GT Championship presented by Pirelli, on the daunting streets of Adelaide, but as he showed during round one at Bathurst, he’s not daunted by the big stage.. “There’s no denying that there was some level of trepidation heading to Bathurst for the first time, but we went with an experienced crew, with two experienced drivers, and the goal of completing laps,” McMillan admitted. “In the end we achieved what we set out to achieve, and came out of Bathurst placed fifth in the championship heading to Adelaide, but where I had Richo [Steven Richards] and Ross [Lilley] to pace myself against there, I’m on my own in Adelaide, and I can’t wait..!” From opening practice at Mount Panorama the GB Galvanizing Gallardo LP600 was quick, and for experienced Bathurst veteran Steven Richards, he was impressed by McMillan’s pace, but also his eagerness to listen and learn. “Justin drove brilliantly all weekend,” the new AGT DSO [driving standards observer] agreed. “He paced himself early and got quicker and quicker as the weekend wore on. Had we not suffered the gearbox issue, we could well have been inside the top five, so to debut that way, and come away from an event that was as difficult to negotiate as any I’ve ever contested with a straight car, was an almost perfect result.” Justin’s debut on the streets of Adelaide won’t be the M Motorsport teams only debut for the weekend, with new partners Interlloy Engineering Steels and Alloys and FUCHS Lubricants joining existing supporters GB Galvanizing, Strategy One Human Resources and Australian Post Tensioning for the first time at Clipsal.

  • Porsche in Le Mans
    Press Information Meet the Heroes of Le Mans Mission 2014. Our Return. Porsche at Le Mans Meet the Heroes of Le Mans • Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans 1 Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans Porsche in the starting line-up for 63 years The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the most famous endurance race in the world. The post-war story of the 24 Heures du Mans begins in the year 1949. And already in 1951 – the pro - duction of the first sports cars in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen commenced in March the previous year – a small delegation from Porsche KG tackles the high-speed circuit 200 kilometres west of Paris in the Sarthe department. Class victory right at the outset for the 356 SL Aluminium Coupé marks the beginning of one of the most illustrious legends in motor racing: Porsche and Le Mans. Race cars from Porsche have contested Le Mans every year since 1951. The reward for this incredible stamina (Porsche is the only marque to have competed for 63 years without a break) is a raft of records, including 16 overall wins and 102 class victories to 2013. The sporting competition and success at the top echelon of racing in one of the world’s most famous arenas is as much a part of Porsche as the number combination 911. After a number of class wins in the early fifties with the 550, the first time on the podium in the overall classification came in 1958 with the 718 RSK clinching third place.
