The 2019 Porsche Club Motorsport calendar has been announced, it will incorporate the return of the Porsche Classic Restoracing Championship for 986 Boxsters…
The Petro-Canada Lubricants Porsche Club Championship with Pirelli, along with the Restoracing Competition Boxster series, has confirmed its race dates for 2019.
In total five UK circuits will be visited during 2019, starting with Donington Park in Leicestershire this April but also taking in Brands Hatch (Grand Prix and Indy circuits), Snetterton, Oulton Park, and (provisionally) Silverstone. During the season, which runs until September, the Porsche Club Championship will host races in conjunction with the Porsche Classic Restoracing Championship for 986 Boxsters – it will extend its meetings to five incorporating 10 races.
The Restoracing championship was born out of the Porsche Classic restoration competition in 2018, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Porsche Boxster. It encouraged UK Porsche Centres and partner bodyshops to restore and race 986 Boxster S cars painted in iconic and historic Porsche motorsport liveries.
Run by Porsche GB in 2018/2019, the series has become part of the Porsche Club Motorsport calendar, due to its popularity we anticipate it will grow further going forward.
The main Porsche Club Championship attracts a number of race-prepared Porsche vehicles in different classes, last year’s exciting championship was taken by Paragon Porsche frontman Mark Sumpter in his 911 996 Carrera.
