Porsche heads to the final round of the Intercontinental GT Challenge season in South Africa with a top contingent of four 911 GT3 R in the pro category, another vehicle in the amateur class and twelve drivers from the factory and junior driver squads. For the nine-hour race at the Kyalami circuit on 24 November, the customer teams GPX Racing, Dinamic Motorsport, Frikadelli Racing and Team 75 Bernhard will each field a 500+hp GT3 vehicle from Weissach. In the overall standings, Porsche tackles the final round still holding chances to claim the manufacturers’ title. The winning trio at Bathurst – works driver Dirk Werner (Germany) and the two Porsche Young Professionals Matt Campbell (Australia) and Dennis Olsen (Norway) – are just ten points shy of the drivers’ classification leader.

Frikadelli Racing will compete in the ADAC GT Masters for the first time next race weekend at the Nürburgring (16th-18th August). The outfit from the Eifel will field a Porsche 911 GT3 R for team boss Klaus Abbelen (58, GER) and Porsche Young Pro driver, Matt Campbell (24, AUS) as they compete in the fifth round of the Super Sports Car League.
