Petters victorious on Porsche debut at Snetterton meeting
Pickup Truck racer Daniel Petters had a dream start to life in the Classics Sports Car Club, winning on his debut at Snetterton last weekend.
Petters had been a stalwart of Pickup racing since 2018, and finished runnerup last season to George Turiccki. But for 2022 he “just needed a fresh start” and has made the decision to switch to racing a Porsche 911 997 GT3 Cup car, which he picked up in January this year and had previously been used at the
2011 Nurburgring 24 Hours among other outings.
Aboard the Porsche, he took pole for the 40-minute New Millennium race by more than two seconds, and cruised to a comfortable victory by nearly 32s.
“I had no idea what to expect, but it’s been really good,” he said. “Porsches are cool cars and it’s just fun to drive. I’m doing all the Slicks Series races this year and the New Millennium races when they don’t clash, and the trip to Spa.
“It will be nice to have a battle [in future races] but I’m not going to complain.”
