PORSCHE SPRINT CHALLENGE GB
IN 2023 MAX COATES AND GRAVES MOTORSPORT ARE RACING IN THE PORSCHE SPRINT CHALLENGE GB.
Porsche Sprint Challenge Great Britain has generated huge interest, from new and existing drivers and teams plus fans alike. Its status as a one-make championship will ensure action-packed racing from the start as driver skill is, once again, placed centre stage.
Attracting both amateur and professional drivers competing in identical Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport cars, the championship will run two competitive categories: Pro and Am. While both will race on the same grid, each category will have its own points structure and championship table.
In addition to fantastic end of season prizes, other benefits of the championship include unrivalled national media exposure, TV and online live streaming coverage, increased fan engagement and greater sponsorship opportunities.
CALENDAR & RESULTS
In 2023 Max will race in the Porsche Sprint Challenge GB with Graves Motorsport. Supporting the BTCC he will be racing in-front of 38,000 people at events and millions live on ITV4. See the dates and information below.
