QUOTEBOARD:
Craig Nayda, Senior Motorsport Manager, Porsche Cars Australia
“In some ways it marks a rebirth for our championship, every four or five years a new car comes along and we’re fortunate enough that 2027 will be that exciting time for us.”
“It’s a dual celebration across the year for us in 2026. It’s 75 years of the Porsche brand in Australia, but it also coincides with 75 years of global motorsport, so really exciting celebrations for us and there is a number of activations that will happen across the course of the year.”
“The car has already been run in some of the championships overseas in Supercup, Asia, North America and the feedback is that its improved aerodynamic balance, greater feel through the front end of the car achieved through a new design modification in the undertray of the rear wing and so the feedback from the drivers is that the car is a lot nicer car to drive.”
Dylan O’Keeffe, 2025 Porsche Carrera Cup Australia Pro Champion
“Each iteration of the Porsche’s they’re always a bit better so they refined some of the previous things that might not have been great with the car but with Porsche everything is going to be excellent and with this new model car, I’m keen to see how it handles.”
“Probably the biggest things is those front guards, it’s got air vents on them so keen to see how that feels, probably gives us a bit more front response when following a car, a bit more GT style, so these cars keep evolving to become more like mini GT cars.”
Rodney Jane, 2025 Porsche Carrera Cup Australia Pro-Am Champion
“They always make the car a bit different, a bit better, a bit more power each time so something to look forward to.”
“First test day we’ll see what it’s like, see how different how different it is and then it’s a question of how different it is for everyone and how good we all are at adapting to go faster in them.”
