The region’s finest sportscar drivers are heading to the Lion City for the Porsche SC Global Carrera Cup Asia – Singapore 2013 at the FORMULA 1 SINGTEL SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX from September 20-22. The formidable international line-up of 25 drivers, each driving an identical Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, must negotiate the unforgiving Marina Bay street circuit. Its tight chicanes and fast corners, which cut between buildings and the city’s harbour front, combined with the tropical conditions present an unusual set of challenges.
Whatever awaits the field though, all will be out for victory, while eight have important championship matters to attend to as well. Counting as Round 10 of the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia 2013 season, the series’ 11th, sensational newcomer Earl Bamber of New Zealand tops the overall championship leaderboard heading to Singapore. With three rounds to go, the Nexus Racing driver has a slim 13 point advantage over Austrian Martin Ragginger of Team Eagle. Both have four victories to their names this season, and each has seen his share of bad luck, but the intense rivalry between the pair is a recipe for excitement. With everything to race for against the sparkling metropolis of the Singapore skyline, and in front of the biggest names in international motorsports, the Porsche SC Global Carrera Cup Asia – Singapore 2013 is ready to take the Lion City by storm.
