Revised 2019 calendar includes support race at Silverstone’s WEC weekend.
For 2019, the Porsche Carrera Cup GB blue-riband event will now be held in support the World Endurance Championship (WEC) at Silverstone on 30 August and 1 September.
The Silverstone weekend, held on the full Grand Prix circuit will mark the start of a new season for WEC following the current Super Season. The WEC 2018 / 2019 Super Season reaches its climax at the 24 Hours of Le Mans this June, with Porsche currently leading both teams’ and drivers’ standings in both GTE Pro and GTE Am categories.
Porsche Carrera Cup GB last supported WEC at Silverstone in 2016 and, despite a freak snowstorm cancelling qualifying, presented drivers with the opportunity to showcase their talents in front of the world’s premier endurance championship. Charlie Eastwood, Porsche GB 2016 / 2017 Scholar and 2017 Porsche Carrera Cup GB champion, scored double podium finishes that weekend in 2016 – just his third and fourth races in a Porsche. Three years later, Eastwood currently sits third overall in the WEC GTE Am drivers’ standings.
