Porsche class champion Coleman steps up for ’21

Porsche Club GB Class 2 champion James Coleman will step up to Class 1 for this year’s championship, which begins at Donington Park this Saturday. Coleman, who took the Class 2 crown at the wheel of a self-built Boxster last year, has constructed a new 3.4-litre Cayman for this year’s campaign. He debuted the car in the CALM All Porsche Trophy and Bernie’s V8s race at Donington last weekend, finishing fourth among the Porsches.

“We’ve still got the Boxster,” said Coleman. “It’s an easy option to take the Boxster out in Class 2, but I want to be challenged.

“It doesn’t feel any different [to drive]. It doesn’t feel any quicker but I haven’t been in the car for six months! It’s basically just a bigger engine, so you’ve got more power and these are lighter. The handling [should be better] as well – that’s why we went for the Cayman.”
