MORRIS REUNITES WITH TEAM PARKER
Former British GT champion Seb Morris will reunite with Team Parker Racing this year for a move into the Porsche Carrera Cup GB.
Morris first partnered with TPR when he switched from single-seaters to sportscars in 2016, driving a Bentley Continental GT3 in British GT. He won the title alongside Rick Parfitt Jr in 2017 and later became a Bentley factory driver, racing in the GT World Challenge Europe.
Following Bentley’s decision to end its GT programme last year, Morris switched to the European Lamborghini Super Trofeo series and is now continuing in one-make competition with Porsche.
“It’s nice to not have the usual challenges of Balance of Performance as everyone is in the same car,” said Morris. “I’m confident in my own abilities, so a one-make championship appealed to me.
“I was looking at all the figures of the TOCA package and I thought, ‘Why don’t I go and do Porsche?’ I got speaking to Stuart [Parker, team boss] and he managed to wangle another car from Porsche for me, plus it’s fantastic to return to the team.
“I’ll be going full steam ahead this season. I had a couple of races last year, but it’s imperative that I have a good year and that I’m in the car regularly, which some of the GT drives I was offered couldn’t guarantee. I’ll be going for nothing less than the championship title, so it should be an interesting year and I can’t wait to start testing.”
Elsewhere, 2020 Mini Challenge champion Nathan Harrison will move from Team Hard to Redline Racing for his second Carrera Cup campaign this year, staying in the Pro-am class. Continuing at Redline will be Micah Stanley, who finished runner-up in the Pro-am division in 2021.
