BRSCC Porsche Championship

 

Porsche racing with the BRSCC is taking on a new look for 2010. Along with Porsche 924 series which has been running successfully with the Club for nearly 20 years, other models will be introduced into the championship which is being renamed the “BRSCC Porsche Championship”. There will be classes for the Porsche 924, the Porsche Boxster S and an invitation class. All classes are eligible to score championship points for overall and class positions.

Porsche Boxsters

Porsche Boxsters will run as a separate class within the BRSCC Porsche Championship. The eligible cars will be Porsche Boxster S, 3.2 litre, 986 and 987 models.

The Porsche Boxster is a well balanced mid-engined roadster with good innate handling characteristics. Stiffened and lowered, it makes a wonderfully handling, agile race car. The new race series is for the 3.2 litre “S” version of the Porsche Boxster, which adds significant power to an inherently well balanced chassis. With up to 280 BHP and top speeds in excess of 170 mph, Porsche Boxster racing will be one of the fastest and most powerful one make series in the UK.

The regulations will be very tightly controlled to ensure that the cars on the grid are as evenly matched as possible. Extreme modification will not be permitted, so that the cars will be able to run in road legal trim if owners decide to drive their cars to the circuit. At the same time all, the correct racing parts will be added to ensure that the cars are real race cars which will be exciting to drive and race without being excessively fragile.

The organisers will supply a kit of parts that enables competitors to convert a road going Porsche Boxster into a race car. The kit will include the roll cage, upgraded suspension components, race seat, harness, fire extinguisher system and racing wheels. Some components will be “control” items whose specification is set out in the championship regulations and which must be purchased from the championship organisers. These will include the roll cage, the suspension dampers, brake pads, the tyres and wheels. Using the increased purchasing power of the whole championship it has been possible to provide the conversion kit at a substantially lower price than would be available to individual competitors. The kits are now available at a cost of £2,805 plus delivery and VAT.

Porsche 924

The Porsche 924 Championship will continue to run as a separate class within the BRSCC Porsche Championship, to the successful formula which has kept it alive and vibrant for nearly 20 years.

The Porsche 924 is a great first step on the racing ladder, and many drivers have moved on to success in other series having learned their race craft in the highly competitive world of 924 racing. It is also attractive to the more experienced racer, providing close action with the emphasis on driver skill rather than outright power. There is a mix of ages in the series from teenagers to “grey hairs” all mixing well in a really friendly and welcoming paddock atmosphere.

The Championship is a low cost route into Porsche racing using standard cars with minor modifications to improve performance. The rules permit an easily achievable power limit which discourages cheque book engine tuning and the control tyre from Toyo is a durable item which ensures that the winner is not simply the car with largest tyre budget.

The tightly controlled Rules and Regulations are aimed at keeping costs under control so that this form of motor racing can be open to all. For 2010 the 924s will continue to use the Toyo Proxes R888 as its "control" tyre. This is a full race tyre which resulted in dramatically improved lap times when it was first introduced to the championship. Anyone used to track driving on normal road tyres will be astounded by the grip developed by the Porsche 924 on these tyres.

Invitation Class

The invitation class will be open to any normally aspirated Porsche up to 3.0 litres capacity and turbocharged cars up to 2.0 litres. Cars competing in the invitation class will be required to use Toyo tyres but there will be no restrictions on sizes. The rules for the invitation class will be kept very simple to allow the widest range of cars possible to compete.
