With
regret, Trackspeed Racing have elected to withdraw from the 2008 British GT
Championship in light of the equalisation penalties applied to the Porsche 997
GT3 S which the team feel unfairly render the car uncompetitive.
The
Trackspeed Porsche 997 GT3 S, the only Porsche currently in the British GT
series, has not been equalised on the Championship's Avon rubber and as such it
is felt the equalisation penalties currently applied disadvantage the car which
is neither in the interest of the team or indeed the Championship.
This
is a decision that has not been lightly taken but is an issue which Trackspeed
feel must be addressed. It is hoped the matter can be resolved allowing the
team to return to what is does best, entertaining racing.
Trackspeed
continue to contest the FIA GT3 Championship in the Porsche 997 GT3 S (which
has been equalised on the Championship's tyre manufacturer, Michelin) and the
FIA GT Championship in the Porsche RSR.
