SLIDESPORTS

Redline Racing, Team Parker Racing and JTR. Three incredibly successful national racing teams. But despite their combined experience and impressive history, it wasn’t a driver from one of these squads that took the Porsche Carrera Cup GB title last year. Instead it was Slidesports that powered Tio Ellinas to the crown.

This was a smaller operation in just its second season in the competitive category, while Redline and Parker have been there since day one, 15 years ago.

That a Slidesports driver was able to take the overall crown really is some achievement and demonstrates that new teams can more than hold their own against established rivals.

Ellinas described the result as a “bit of a miracle” given the team’s background. “It was a hard fight but I was the most consistent out of all of them,” he said.
