RACE WINNER MARTIN STAYS IN CARRERA CUP

Porsche Carrera Cup GB race winner Will Martin will continue in the series for a second season this year with the Richardson Racing squad.

The 2019 Ginetta Junior title contender was one of the stars of the second half of the Carrera Cup season, taking a win at Thruxton and five other podiums. He is now looking to continue those impressive performances into the new campaign.

“In our first year in the series, we made huge progress across the season as we learned more and more about the car, and we ended the year in a very strong position,” said Martin (below). “The aim now is to carry that form through into the new season, and our goal has to be to fight for the title.

Elsewhere, Porsche Sprint Challenge GB racers Theo Edgerton and Ethan Hawkey will both remain in the Caymanbased series this year. Edgerton will continue with Total Control Racing, with which he took a win at last year’s Silverstone season finale, while fellow former Ginetta Junior driver Hawkey stays at Redline Racing.

Charles March, son of the Duke of Richmond, will contest a full campaign in the Am class after making his debut at Silverstone last year.
