North America's Premier One-Make Series Visits Top American Road Motorsport News June 23, 2021 55/21 Porsche Carrera Cup North America Presented by the Cayman Islands – Watkins Glen International – Rounds 5 & 6 North America’s Premier One-Make Series Visits Top American Road Course Watkins Glen, New York. The Porsche Carrera Cup North America Presented by the Cayman Islands continues its debut season tour stopping at Watkins Glen International for Rounds 5 and 6. Hosted by the top road courses in the United States, the 16-race schedule nears its midpoint and the premier one-make race series on the continent continues to gain momentum. 31 Porsche race cars, based on the iconic road going Porsche 911 GT3 road car – 22, type 992 in the Pro and Pro-Am classes and nine, type 991.2 in the Pro-Am 991 category – are entered for Round 5 (Friday, June 25) and Round 6 (Saturday, June 26) at the Watkins Glen, New York area race track. The twin, 45- minute events on the 3.4-mile, 11-turn “Grand Prix Course” race in support of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship’s fabled Six Hours of The Glen. Entering Round 5, Seb Priaulx (United Kingdom) has led the Pro Driver Championship Point Standings since the first qualifying session in March. The popular young driver from Guernsey has climbed to the top spot with 97-points by virtue of a victory (Round 1, Sebring) and podium finishes in each round. His lowest finish in the No. 15 Kelly-Moss Road & Race Porsche 911 GT3 Cup race car has been a third-place (Round 3 at COTA). In addition, Priaulx has won the pole position at each round in which qualifying has been held, three, providing him an additional 15 total points to his tally. Chasing closely behind, with 90 points, is Priaulx’s Kelly-Moss Road & Race teammate Kay van Berlo (Netherlands). van Berlo has scored more victories, two, than anyone in the Pro class driving the No. 3 Porsche to wins at Round 2 (Sebring) and Round 4 (COTA). The pair of the drivers from the Wisconsin-based program hold a comfortable lead over Parker Thompson (Canada) in third-place. Thompson drove the No. 9 JDX Racing Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car to victory lane in Round 3 (COTA) and is the only other driver in class with a win. He holds 65 points in hand entering Round 5. However, with only four-races down and 12 rounds remaining, every lap can change the order keeping the title in constant motion. Riley Dickinson (New Braunfels, Texas) in the No. 53 Team Hardpoint EBM Porsche – currently in fourth-place with podiums in Rounds 2 and 4 – and current fifth-place runner Leh Keen (Atlanta, Georgia) who has piloted the 311RS Motorsport Porsche No. 12 to a third-place finish in the opening race are among those positioned to take the lead. The Pro-Am class, for driver 40 years-old and older who are campaigning the current type 992 generation of the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup race car, is securely in the hands of Alan Metni (Austin, Texas). Metni’s No. 99 Kelly-Moss Road & Race Porsche has a full house with 100 points, the result of four race wins – each paying 25 points. Efrin Castro (Dominican Republic) has driven the No. 65 Team Hardpoint EBM Porsche to second-place in the current point standings just ahead of Curt Swearingin (Chattanooga, Tennessee) driving the No. 17 ACI Motorsports Porsche. The Pro-Am 991 class – for drivers racing the previous generation Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car, type 991.2 – is being led by Matt Halcome (Dallas, Georgia) who has earned the class win at the last three rounds driving the No. 55 Goldcrest Motorsports machine. His 95 points betters Goldcrest teammate Jeff Majkrzak (Orono, Minnesota) who has 69 markers in the No. 29. Grady Willingham (Birmingham, Alabama) has driven the No. 21 Goldcrest-prepped machine to third-place entering Watkins Glen. Kurt Hunt (Atlanta, Georgia) is the only driver to have a victory in the class besides Halcome. The Georgian charged into the series’ record books as the first driver to win the class (Round 1, Sebring) in the No. 24 ACI Motorsports Porsche. He sits in fifth-place in the points. Michelin Tire Update. Michelin will introduce a new rear tire for the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup race cars at this weekend’s races. The MICHELIN Pilot Sport Cup N3 R is a minor evolution of the previous version and has been designed and built to maximize the rear tire’s performance in the global Porsche Carrera Cup series. Schedule Update. On June 18, the Porsche Carrera Cup North America Presented by the Cayman Islands was named as the headline event of the Porsche SportsCar Together Fest at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS). The three-race weekend will be held September 10 – 12 with the top one-make series joined by other steps on the Porsche Motorsport Pyramid including the Porsche Sprint Challenge North America by Yokohama and select racing run groups of the Porsche Club of America (PCA). Indianapolis, the world’s most famous race course and home of the sport’s most recognized event, the Indianapolis 500, adds to an impressive list of first-season tracks which includes: Sebring International Raceway, Circuit of the Americas (COTA), Road America, VIRginia International Raceway (VIR) and Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta in addition to Watkins Glen International. Full race coverage of both 45-minute Watkins Glen events can be found live at www.PorscheCarreraCup.us with IMSA Radio’s John Hindhaugh and Jeremy Shaw providing corner- by-corner commentary.

Additional post race coverage and special programing will also be found here. Brian Blocker, Series Manager, Porsche Carrera Cup North America Presented by the Cayman Islands. “When I think back to the tracks we targeted for our first season of Porsche Carrera Cup North America Presented by the Cayman Islands, there were some on a very short list of absolute musts for our customers and partners. Watkins Glen International was on the short list of that short list. This track provides us with everything we look for: it is fast, demands driver and team precision and it has a long history of Porsche success. The Glen rewards talent and commitment. Those are the attributes we are looking for in everything we do with the series and at Porsche. That is why I am not surprised by the large 31 Porsche entries we have here, including 22 of the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup type 992 race cars. Everyone is bringing their A-game this weekend and I think we will see the best competition thus far this season.” About the Cayman Islands The Cayman Islands, located an hour south of Miami in the vibrant tranquility of western Caribbean, is a premier destination for travelers, thrill-seeking divers, adventurous epicures, honeymooners and families alike.

  • Racing Towards a Sustainable Future a Review of the Sustainability Performance of International Racing Circuits
    RACING TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE A REVIEW OF THE SUSTAINABILITY PERFORMANCE OF INTERNATIONAL RACING CIRCUITS Edition June 2021 Racing towards a sustainable future FOREWORD I have been involved with the safety and sustainability of racing tracks for many years now, as a driver, GPDA Chairman and a circuit designer. And while I would argue that big improvements have been made in terms of safety, I also know that there is a long way to go in terms of fully embracing sustainability for racing tracks around the globe. Though circuits have started to change the way in which they approach sustainability, more guidance on what sustainability means and how a circuit can be sustainable are needed. This is why I welcome this new research and the data-driven proposal of the Sustainable Circuits Index™, highlighting indicators from the wider sustainability and sport ecosystem, encouraging best practice and calling attention to the importance of transparent reporting and independent validation. Motorsport has historically been defined by its commitment to innovation and excellence through competition. It’s now critically important for our sport to demonstrate its commitment to sustainability through collaboration. This paper highlights the new metrics for success in this global effort and provides circuits with the tools they need to help win the race for our planet, a race which we can only win together. Alexander Wurz Former F1 Driver, GPDA Chairman, and Consultant on Road Safety and Circuit Design Sustainability is one of the key issues of today’s society as confirmed by the increasing attention of governments, media, academics, and industry.

  • Stevenson Motorsports Primed for the Sahlen's Six Hours of the Glen
    Stevenson Motorsports Primed for the Sahlen’s Six Hours of the Glen Stevenson Motorsports will also enter Round 4 of the IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge in the sixth generation Camaro GT4.R. IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship Race: Sahlen’s Six Hours of the Glen Race Length: 6 hours Car: No. 57 Audi R8 LMS Drivers: Andrew Davis and Lawson Aschenbach Broadcast Schedule: Catch the two-part broadcast of the Sahlen’s Six Hour of the Glen on Sunday, July 2nd from 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM ET on FS1 and from 1:00 PM – 4:30 PM ET on FS2. “The Glen”: The 3.4-mile road course which has a historic background has played host to NASCAR, Formula 1, IndyCar, and IMSA through the decades, as well as some 35 editions of the six-hour event. The newly repaved course (2015) will give way to sweeping corners and fast esses, upping the competition level for the third IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship endurance event of 2017. Running on Momentum: Round 5 of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship at Detroit proved to be the best weekend yet for Stevenson Motorsports after Lawson Aschenbach qualified the No. 57 Audi R8 LMS on pole. Unfortunately, the team’s race ended early when a broken axle brought the sole Audi entry into the pits. Two-Time Winners: The Glen has been a staple event on the Stevenson Motorsports schedule for the past 14 years with 16 total race entries. The team has a winning history at Watkins Glen International. Co-drivers Robin Liddell and John Edwards won back-to-back 6 Hour events in the GT class of the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series in 2012 and 2013.
