Should be an interesting series: http://www.rennsportracing.com/index.php

The new Porsche Boxster series

Porsche Boxster Racing is a new racing series which will run as a championship at BRSCC meetings in 2010 at circuits all round the country. 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 the Porsche Boxster will be one of the fastest and most powerful one make series in the UK.

The regulations for the new series 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 brake pads. 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 and the tyres. 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 £2805 plus delivery and VAT.
 
Hope you were not expecting the green Rennsport Boxster Mark, he smashed it up quite badly testing at Oulton Park on Friday[:eek:]
 
Oooops...[&o]

I'm not sure which is coming. Mick's been handling the details.
Oh well, if it's in it's component parts it will still be interesting [:)]
 
Yes, I saw that too. Unfortunate. However, in racing, this is expected to happen from time to time. The good news is that the car is prepared by Newbridge Motorsport who are experienced in getting cars back on track within a week or two during the season. With more than four weeks to go, I don't see a problem with it not appearing at Belvoir. According to Richard Tovey, at least 3 other cars are being built at this time. Incidentally, 1m58s in testing around Oulton Park sounds pretty nifty to me.
