THE Porsche Paynter Dixon Carrera Cup Australia field will inject further colour and excitement to the Supercars Panasonic Air Conditioning SuperNight event tonight at Sydney Motorsport Park.
All 26 Porsche 992 GT3 Cup Cars entered this weekend will sport coloured LED lights running behind the front air intakes this evening, adding even more colour to an already spectacular show planned for this evening.
The colour-changing LEDs can be changed to suit each team or their specific branding at their discretion.
The lights are managed and powered through the factory Porsche ECU fitted to each car, utilising a function that allows for optional endurance racing specification lighting to be fitted for long-distance races.
That system, not regularly used in Carrera Cup racing, has been activated on each car for today only by the Porsche Motorsport technical team to allow the LED lights to function, with the lighting activated as soon as the cars headlights are turned on.
The Porsche Paynter Dixon Carrera Cup Australia will race for the first time this weekend as the curtain-raiser to the Supercars race Tonight, starting at 6:10pm.
