Porsche confirms its lines for Kyalami

Porsche Motorsport aura une belle carte à jouer en Intercontinental GT Challenge lors de la finale de Kyalami (22-24 novembre) en Afrique du Sud, avec en ligne de mire les deux couronnes Pilotes et Constructeurs.

For this, Weissach will trust the winners of the 24 Hours of Spa GPX Racing, as previously announced. The Dubai-based team will be able to count on the same winning trio of the Belgian double clock, Kévin Estre – Michael Christensen – Richard Lietz.

The rest of the Porsche entry will be entrusted to three other teams: Team75 Bernhard (which notably fields 911 GT3 R in ADAC GT Masters), Frikadelli Racing, accustomed to VLN events and the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, and Dinamic Motorosport, newcomer in GT3 this year, and surprise winner at Monza to open the Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup

The only ones able to aim for the Drivers' crown at Porsche, Dirk Werner, Matt Campbell and Dennis Olsen, winners of the Bathurst 12 Hours with Earl Bamber Motorsport will be separated this time. Campbell playing with Earl Bamber and Laurens Vanthoor at Dinamic Motorsport.

Dirk Werner will be assisted by Sven Müller and Romain Dumas at Team75 Bernhard while Dennis Olsen will make common cause with Nick Tandy and Mathieu Jaminet on the Frikadelli Racing example.

Porsche is 22 points behind Mercedes in the Manufacturers' standings, while the Olsen – Campbell – Werner trio is ten points behind the Drivers' standings leader Maxi Buhk.
