Stuttgart Cup Champion: Ross Poole
ROSS POOLE, is the 2024 Stuttgart Cup Champion! In a category which saw great growth this season, in fact at the season finale Stuttgart Cup made up 80% of the field, Ross was on the podium most of the time! Ross with his team Goldcrest Motorsports, ran Sebring, Road Atlanta, Road America, VIR and COTA. Click on Ross’s race car to see a fantastic lap with him at VIR this year.
CONGRATULATIONS to Ross on his championship!!
David Hampton - AR Motorsports
We can’t leave the Stuttgart Cup category without mentioning DAVID HAMPTON with AR Motorsports. David ran a 2024 Stuttgart Cup record 7 of the 10 IGT events. David has one of the newer 4 liter Caymans and it wasn’t until the end of the season that he had some real competition from other 4 liters.
Unfortunately without the competition bonus points, Ross was able to pass David at the season finale at COTA. In the overall season points David wound up second by just three points.

Help Santa Meet His Goal for Donations
The 17th Annual Santa’s Toy Run was a very successful event at Road Atlanta this past weekend. With lots of participants and fun times for all!! However, the event fell a bit short of their hoped goal. So Ron and Michele Rigdon (our SVRA friends and huge contributors to the success of the SpeedTour events) are accepting donations on-line for about another week.
How You Can Help:
Online Donations: You can find our list of approved recipient organizations here: https://www.
Mail a Check: Mail us your check made payable directly to the organization of your choice, and we will distribute it along with the toys on December 17th.
Donate Toys or Walmart Gift Cards: If your local to the Metro-Atlanta area we can give you the location of numerous drop off points by December 16, 2024. These would be new unwrapped toys. Preferably Walmart gift card or cards in $25 denominations.
