Porsche Cars Australia is well placed to ensure the continued smooth operation of Carrera Cup racing in Australia in 2009 and beyond following the decision by Iain Sherrin to cease ownership of the Category Management Agreement (CMA) at the end of the 2008 season.

• Race 1: Qualified 7th Finished 6th

• Race 2: Qualified 7th DNF

Duncan Tappy came within four laps of a podium finish when he made his appearance in the Porsche Carrera Cup at Thruxton this weekend as a reward for making it as a McLaren Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year Award finalist. Duncan took part in a test at the Hampshire circuit six weeks ago, the track where he works as a race instructor.

In only their fourth ever Porsche Carrera Cup GB meeting, Jota Sport secured a memorable double-victory at Thruxton to truly announce their arrival as championship contenders in the UK’s leading one make series.

Seyffarth takes over points’ lead in the Porsche Supercup

Stuttgart. Jaap van Lagen secured his first win of the season at the fourth round of the Porsche Mobil1 Supercup in Istanbul (Turkey). The 31-year-old Dutchman had taken up the race from second on the grid and, after an excellent start, outsprinted his pole-setting Damac Kadach Racing team mate Chris Mamerow (Germany) to the first corner. Van Lagen, who contests his first full season in the world’s fastest international one make series, held onto his lead to take the flag in first after 14 laps.

Chris Mamerow is again on the pace in the Porsche Supercup

Stuttgart. Chris Mamerow (Germany) and Jaap van Lagen (Netherlands) dominated the qualifying session for the fourth round of the Porsche Mobil1 Supercup. The two Damac Kadach Racing team mates secured the front row of the grid on the 5.4 kilometre Grand Prix circuit of Istanbul (Turkey). Initially, the 31-year old Dutchman turned the quickest lap in 1:57.354 minutes to top the time sheets where he remained for approximately 20 minutes. His team mate Chris Mamerow then went one better. The 23-year-old student lapped the circuit in 1:57.094 minutes and secured his first pole position in the world’s fastest international one-make series.

Given Aaron Caratti’s performance in the third round of Carrera Cup Australia, he would be the favourite no matter where Round Four of the championship was being held.

But considering the event is at Perth’s Barbagallo Raceway – Caratti’s home track – he is going to prove hard to beat when the championship heads there for the BigPond 400 this weekend.

As Australia’s leading corporate governance tool, CompliSpace knows excellence.

And that is why the Porsche Carrera Cup is thrilled CompliSpace will join the category as sponsor of the championship’s next round at Barbagallo Raceway.

Phil Quaife lost a tight race with a penalty

Phil Quaife pulled out all the stops in round six of the Porsche Carrera Cup GB at Donington Park as he flew home to victory, only to be stripped of it minutes later, once a two-second penalty was applied by the Clerk of the Course, dropping him to third.

Jota Sport's Sam Hancock scored fourth and fifth places respectively in rounds five and six of the Porsche Carrera Cup GB at Donington Park.

The 2004 Le Mans Endurance Series LMP2 champion and team-mate Phil Quaife had a constructive test in their Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars the week preceding the race, but the duo were unable to replicate that in qualifying, their grid positions not being as high as they had expected. But a competitive race two saw the team leave the Derbyshire race track encouraged, despite Quaife being stripped of a race two victory by an imposed penalty for overtaking under a yellow flag.

Jota Sport left Donington with high hopes after a strong weekend which culminated in race victory for Phil Quaife, who was unfortunate to be handed a post-race penalty.
