Creventic have joined forces with Porsche with a new partnership initiative, designed to encourage competitors in their Michelin 992 Endurance Cup powered by Porsche Motorsport to take the next step up into GT3.
The initiative will see the four fastest drivers (measured by taking their best ten average lap times) in the Porsche-only enduro race at Spa Francorchamps on 9 September invited to an evaluation test at the Red Bull Ring on 13 October in a Porsche 911 GT3R.
The Spa event is contested by a grid of endurance-racing upgraded Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars.
To qualify drivers must not have previously participated in any driver development or works programme of Porsche Motorsport or any other car manufacturer. This will still mean the majority of the grid can participate.
The drivers ranked fifth to eighth, also according to their top 10 average lap times, will be invited to Porsche Motorsport’s headquarters for a GT3R simulator session.
“This initiative is about creating real opportunities”, said Christoph Hewer, Specialist One-Make Series at Porsche Motorsport, “We want to help young drivers make the leap from promising talent to professional athletes, and connecting with Porsche Motorsport allows the young drivers to showcase themselves. With this new prize structure, Creventic and Porsche Motorsport reaffirm their commitment to the future of endurance racing by investing directly in the development of the next generation.”
