Press Release October 8, 2010 No Press Release October 8, 2010 No. M 140/10 Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland, round 9 in Hockenheim Cliff-hanger finale with title fight decision Stuttgart. The Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland remains riveting to the end. At the season finale on the Hockenheimring, 17 October, the gripping fight for the title goes down to the wire between Nicolas Armindo and Nick Tandy. Holding the aces, how- ever, is the points’ leader from France. With three victories to his credit he sits five points ahead of his British arch rival. This puts huge pressure on Nick Tandy (Konrad Motorsport). Even if the Carrera Cup rookie brings home his sixth win of the season, Nicolas Armindo (Hermes Attempto Racing) only needs to secure third place to take home the title of Germany’s fastest brand trophy series. For the 28-year-old Frenchman, this success would be the highlight after a long haul. In 2004 he joined the Carrera Cup, narrowly missing out on the championship title in his second season and finishing 2007 as one of the top contenders in third. “I would love to win the title,” he says. “I have many years of passionate moments behind me but there was also a lot of hard graft.” For Nick Tandy, 2010 was his first season in Germany’s well-established series which features the 450 hp Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. Despite turning heads last year with second place as a guest starter, he is still regarded as a rookie compared to the Frenchman’s experience. “Anything other than the championship trophy would be a huge disappointment,” says the 25-year-old Briton, who impressively demonstrated his skill this year by clinching second overall in the Porsche Mobil1 Supercup. “I can’t wait for the final race and I’m going go for the title by winning.” Dr. Ing. h.c.

Here as well, competition is tight. Two German teammates, Uwe Alzen and Robert Renauer, battle it out for position three in the overall rankings. Just two points separate the Herberth Motorsport PZ Olympiapark drivers, giving the squad a good chance to claim the team championship title: The crew is only three points shy of the leading Hermes Attempto Racing team. Considering he missed out two races, Sean Edwards in fifth can look back on a posi- tive season with his Deutsche Post by tolimit team. Sixth is occupied by Germany’s Philipp Wlazik. As Nicolas Armindo’s teammate at Hermes Attempto Racing, he has earned his points through consistent drives and six top ten results. Martin Ragginger in seventh longs for a good result to conclude the season. Driving for Schnabl Engi- neering, the Austrian made a promising start to the season with three third places, but has not managed a decent result since. In contrast, guest driver René Rast (Farnbacher Racing – PZN) heads to the final feeling relaxed. Having already taken home the Porsche Mobil1 Supercup title, the German has achieved his major goal this season. At the final, junior driver Ferdinand Stuck (Farnbacher Racing – PZN), who receives support as a “Porsche Motorsport Talent”, is again at the start. During his apprentice- ship year in the Carrera Cup, the youngest son of racing legend Hans-Joachim Stuck has improved from race to race and is looking forward to concluding the season with a good result. Television station Motorvision broadcasts the race live on 17 October from 10.15 hours (repeat 21.30 hours), with Sport1 showing highlights on race day at 21.00 hours and on 21 October at 22.30 hours in the Carrera Cup Magazin.

  • 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.

    Press Release July 4, 2010 No. M 83/10 Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland, round 4 on the Norisring, race report Nicolas Armindo grabs points’ lead with victory Stuttgart. For Nicolas Armindo it was a weekend made to measure. Taking up the race from pole position, the Frenchman put in his usual rocket start to head the field and gradually extended his lead to the flag. Pocketing 20 points for his win from round four of the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland on Nuremberg’s Norisring circuit, the Frenchman moved into first overall in the championship. Driving for Hermes At- tempto Racing, the 28-year-old profited from the previous leader’s bad luck. For the first time, Nick Tandy from Great Britain yielded zero points when his Konrad Mo- torsport 911 GT3 Cup suffered tyre damage. Two other Norisring specialists celebrated their podium results alongside the ecstatic Frenchman, for whom this was his seventh race on the street track. For Uwe Alzen, two-time champion of Germany’s fastest brand trophy series, second position marked a breakthrough in his somewhat mixed start to the season. Competing for Herberth Motorsport PZ Olympiapark, the German is the only driver other than Armindo in the 20-strong field who already won on the Norisring – now 42-years-old, Alzen triumphed here in 1992 before going on to claim the championship title. Armindo’s last Norisring victory was just two years ago. Bringing home an unchallenged third, Martin Ragginger (Schnabl Engineering) from Austria celebrated his third podium result so far this year. For Sean Edwards from the Deutsche Post by tolimit squad, fourth position marked the 23-year-old’s best result by now.
