New for the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge, the 2012 season will be run through the in-house Porsche Motorsport team that manages and runs the hugely successful Porsche Carrera Cup. The series is currently gearing up for another exciting season in 2012, offering close, competitive, cost effective, Porsche racing for all GT3 Cup cars from 2009 or earlier.

Graeme Mundy recovered from not setting a time in practice to taking two wins in the final three Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge races of the 2011 season at Silverstone over the weekend, but it wasn’t enough to stop Oly Mortimer claiming the Driver of the Year title in the final round.

Qualifying

Oly Mortimer heads the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge GB Driver of the Year standings heading into the season closing Silverstone triple-header this weekend, the young Scot holding the advantage over Graeme Mundy. The duo might not have it all their own way on the Silverstone Grand Prix circuit, as the hugely experienced Nick Whale joins Class One for this meeting, and the ex-Carrera Cup racer should provide a stern test for the class regulars out to score valuable points.

Karl Leonard and Oly Mortimer took the GT3 wins at Oulton Park on Saturday, August 13^th, former Porsche Carrera Cup racer Leonard returning to racing after a break and holding off series regular Mortimer in race one. The tables were turned later in the afternoon, Mortimer blasting past at the start to take his eighth win, Graeme Mundy taking second.

Qualifying

Oly Mortimer took his fifth and sixth wins of the 2011 Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge season at Rockingham today, Saturday July 16^th, but the Scot was chased hard by Graeme Mundy in race two, just holding off his rival in the final laps. The two races were very different, Mortimer’s first win coming on a  soaked track as the rain lashed down, while by the time race two started later in the afternoon the track was dry and lap times tumbled.

Qualifying

Three of the drivers who have contested the 2011 Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge took up the opportunity to race in the Porsche Carrera World Cup at the famous Nurburgring circuit in Germany at the weekend, Saturday June 25^th, in an event called by enthusiasts the ‘greatest Porsche race in history’. The event brought together Carrera Cup and GT3 Cup Porsches from across Europe and Chris Harris was the first driver home, both Peter Smallwood and Steven Liquorish falling foul of first lap incidents.

The Porsche Carrera World Cup will run for the first time this coming weekend, on June 25 on Germany’s legendary Nurburgring Nordschleife..

Oly Mortimer claimed both wins at Donington Park on Sunday May 15^th as the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge made its first visit to the East Midlands circuit, the young Scot chased home by Grame Mundy in each race, Yucel Ozbeck bagging a pair of thirds to round out the podium finishers.

Qualifying

Mortimer claimed pole with his very last lap in the25-minute session, Mundy having briefly held the position with a few minutes to go before being ousted by Ozbeck and then Mortimer.

Nigel Rice took both Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge races at Croft on Easter weekend, the Yorkshire racer making a successful return to the track after a lay off. Oly Mortimer headed into Croft having won both races to date this season, but a retirement in race one dented his points challenge, though sterling work from his team saw him back out on Sunday and claiming second position.
