BAIRD BLASTS TO AN OPENING WIN IN CARRERA CUP
Four-time Porsche Carrera Cup Australian champion Craig Baird has began his 2013 campaign with victory at the season’s opening race at the Clipsal 500, while Elite Class race winner James Koundouris was pleased with his top-10 race finish. Baird, who started the race alongside pole-sitter Nick Percat, led into the opening corner and quickly took control of the race lead ahead of Percat, Steven Richards, Warren Luff and Shae Davies. Baird was unchallenged at the front in the opening two laps until the safety car was called onto the track after Duvashen Padayachee made contact with Marc Cini at Turn 9, ending the race for both drivers. The race resumed on Lap 7 and was shortened to just nine laps, leaving a two-lap sprint to the finish. After the restart, Baird retained the lead of the race until the chequered flag from debutant Percat, Richards and Luff. Behind the leading quartet was a close and exciting battle pack between several newcomers, with Davies holding off Karl Reindler, Matt Kingsley and Steven Johnson to the finish.

Thursday, February 23, 2012
The Porsche City Index Carrera Cup Australia will play an important role in the progression of young drivers with a new motorsport initiative, led by leading Carrera Cup racer Steven Richards. A former V8 Supercars stalwart, Australian Formula Ford ambassador and now Carrera Cup driver, Richards has used his ties with the Australian Formula Ford Championship and front-running V8 Supercars team Ford Performance Racing to establish a tiered program that will aid young drivers to climb the Australian motorsport ladder. As part of the initiative, the driver who wins the 2012 Australian Formula Ford Championship will receive a test in Steven Richards’ Laser Racing Porsche. If the Formula Ford Champion then enters the 2013 Porsche City Index Carrera Cup Australia championship, Porsche Cars Australia will waive the driver’s participation fee for the 2013 season, valued at $35,000. The initiative extends to drivers in the 2012 Porsche City Index Carrera Cup Australia championship, with the highest placed 2012 Carrera Cup driver aged under 30 awarded an evaluation drive with V8 Supercars team Ford Performance Racing; the outfit with which Richards has raced since 2007, including the 2012 Phillip Island and Bathurst endurance events.

Friday, July 30, 2010
It's official, The Carrera Cup is set to return to Australia's racetracks for 2011. In a media release issued late this afternoon, Porsche Cars Australia (PCA) announced that they would seek dates for a series, hopefully next year. The announcement means that PCA can now enter formal discussions with all key stake-holders for a possible return to the V8 Supercar calendar from as early as next year. Carrera Cup was introduced to Australia in 2003 and ran up to and including 2009 through a third party service provider. The reintroduction of Carrera Cup would this time be exclusively managed and operated in-house by PCA. “We have the chance for a fresh start, with an all-new race car and an all-new approach for Porsche Carrera Cup Australia,” says PCA Managing Director Michael Winkler.

Friday, July 23, 2010
A surprise visitor to the Sandown pits for today's open practice for round three of the Victorian State Circuit Racing Championship at Sandown. The new challenger of the reborn Carrera Cup series completed a handful of laps with Jim Richards behind the wheel. The new car features more advanced aerodynamics than the previous model with a wider rear wing and more pronounced front splitter. The new car is also more powerful than the car it will replace with power increased to 450 bhp. The car was entered for the day via Porsche Cars Australia who were testing the car for compliance with noise regulations. Porsche Cars Australia have made no secret of their desire to return the Carrera Cup to the local racing scene. The return to the V8 Supercar support calendar could cause some consternation in the ranks of the Australian GT Championship who have established for themselves a popular niche in several major V8 events.
