i own a 944 turbo which i am currently rebuilding, i also just picked up a 924 turbo which is fully prepped for racing.

im very keen to do a season of racing next year, it would be my first time circuit racing, although i have plenty of track experience and can drive.

i run a motorsport prep team, so spend my life building other peoples race cars, its about time i went racing myself.

just wondering what series i could race my 924 turbo in and be competitive. its a 2.0 turbo.
i know the cscc future classics/modern classics is an option, as well as the porsche club gb, also thought about track day trophy/team trophy.

any other series worth considering?

been doing plenty of track days in a mitsubishi evo i have, but keen to go racing now!
im pretty quick round a circuit so only need to adapt to racing.

keen to hear other options
thanks

Look on the cscc web site I think you could run that in one of their series.

It would have to be a pretty tuned 924T to be competitive there... Some pretty wild Astons as well as Porsches...

a 924 turbo wouldn't be fighting for overal wins but wouldn't be at the back either. I finished 3rd overal in the championship last year in a standard 944 s2, A well prepped 924 turbo would be easily as quick if not quicker. the problem with a 924 is getting the brakes to last the 45mins race length.

as njh said, I'm the porsche team captain, so drop me a pm if you're interested.

You would need a intercooler as well, as 924 turbos struggle to keep inlet temps down on track , when used for any length of time. a turbo has 944 size brakes if i remember rightly? so should be ok in 45 min races with good pads and fluid.
i should be puttin the late nights in gettin my cars ready for this season, instead of lookin on here!
