Triple-header of Porsche action across Europe in store for Team Parker Racing
Team Parker Racing is gearing up for a busy triple-header weekend of action as it contests three separate examples of Porsche machinery in the Porsche Supercup, British GT Championship and Porsche Sprint Challenge GB.
Headlining the bill will be Harry King and Michael Crees who take to the glamorous streets of Monte Carlo in the Porsche Supercup, as they contest the stunning new 992-type Porsche 911 GT3 Cup with Parver Revs Motorsport.
Harry was in action this past weekend at the Red Bull Ring in the Porsche Carrera Cup Benelux, not only getting some racing laps in the new machine but also continuing to show his incredible talent, taking comfortable wins in both races despite being his first time racing outside of the United Kingdom.
For Michael, it will be a true baptism of fire as he has just two days of testing at Silverstone under his belt, having joined the team at late notice to replace Josh Webster, who had to pull out of the season due to family illness.
Back on home soil, Nick Jones and Scott Malvern have their second outing in their eye-catching Porsche 911 GT3 R at Brands Hatch in the British GT Championship, after entering the GT Cup at the Kent venue earlier in May, largely to get some racing laps in the machine. With the series tweaking its driver line-up rules, the duo could well be in the mix for podiums, if things go well.
Rounding off the trio of series, also at Brands Hatch will be the Porsche Sprint Challenge GB, where competitors will have their third and fourth races of the season after getting underway at Thruxton a fortnight ago. There was podium success that weekend with Ethan Hawkey claiming a second and third place finish, while Kurt Leimer secured a debut Am class podium in race one. Matt Armstrong also acquitted himself well, despite being just his third time in the car, while Charlie March will be make his first appearance of the season, having had to miss the opening rounds at late notice.
