The season finale of the Tudor United Sports Car Championship just ended with a Porsche victory for the record book. In addition, during the 2015 season, Porsche claimed all three GT titles for the first-time. While those victories are still fress, Porsche is already looking ahead and has confirmed they will continue to participate at the highest level of US sports car racing. In 2016, the Porsche North America works squad will campaign two 911 RSR at the eleven rounds of the 2016 WeatherTech SportsCar Championship (remember, the series sponsor change was announce earlier). The season gets underway with the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona on January 30.
“The USA is the most important sports car market for Porsche,” says Porsche Head of Motorsport Dr. Frank-Steffen Walliser. “We take on the challenge of defending the titles we won this year in the 2016 season and continue to trust the excellent work done by our race team Porsche North America.”
