The Porsche Carrera Cup, the UK’s most successful single make motorsport series, returned to Silverstone this weekend for Rounds 11 and 12 of the 2019 season. 9’s brand ambassador Josh Webster was crowned champion, in a thrilling finish.
Having missed the first two rounds, Josh needs to collect as many points as possible in the final races of the season, with the aim of securing second place in the Championship.
Josh started and finished round eleven in second place. In the partially reversed grid on Sunday, Josh started third, but took the lead on lap three and the win by 1.7 seconds. With a valuable twenty points gained over the weekend Josh is now within a few points of second place in the Championship. Listen to Josh’s post win interview now.
What next?
There are four more rounds still to race in the 2019 Championship, at Silverstone National Circuit 28/29 September and Brands Hatch GP Circuit 12/13 October.
We’ll be showing our support for Josh all the way. You can watch the race live on TV, or you can live stream on the official PORSCHE website and on www.racecam.de.
