Four drivers from the Porsche Carrera Cup GB will step up to the Porsche Michelin Supercup race at the British Grand Prix meeting at Silverstone (10/11 June). And they will be reunited on the grid with 2004 Porsche Carrera Cup GB Champion, and current Supercup Championship leader, Briton Richard Westbrook, at the premier event.
Richard Williams (London) and Mike Richards (Cheshire) will race for the IN2RACING team, while Danny Watts (Buckingham) and Jason Young (Leicestershire) will be driving for Red Line Racing in the British round of the international series.
All four drivers will be making their Supercup debut in the Type 997 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars they currently race in the Carrera Cup GB, and are eagerly anticipating lining up in front of a crowd of over 100,000 British fans on Sunday morning. The opportunity to join the Supercup grid for this race has been organised by Porsche Cars GB.
���It���s a toe in the water exercise to see what we���re up against next year,��� says Williams, who is planning to step up to the Porsche Supercup in 2007. ���And it���s a great opportunity for us to showcase the Carrera Cup GB.��� It will be his first experience of racing on the Grand Prix circuit at Silverstone and there will hopefully be double cause for celebration as his birthday falls on the Sunday!
Richards has raced on the GP circuit before, but will be making his debut at the British Grand Prix meeting. ���I���m looking forward to the challenge,��� he says.
