Porsche Cayman and Boxster Racing Series Back in Action all Weekend at Palm Beach International Raceway
PALM BEACH, Florida (February 14, 2014) – The Stuttgart Cup™ Winter Series returns to competition today for opening practice and qualifying – and a featured Valentine’s Day night race – at Palm Beach International Raceway where the showcase series for Porsche Cayman and Boxster competitors will be in action all weekend.
The Palm Beach Grand Prix is the first race for The Stuttgart Cup™ since last December’s Sebring Historics which served as the third and final round of the split-year Winter Series championship. Races at Savannah and Daytona preceded the Sebring race with the finale scheduled for The Mitty at Road Atlanta in April.
This weekend’s race will also be the first time Stuttgart Cup competitors will be competing in HSR’s al-new Global GT division. The new race group, designated Group 10, is home to modern era GT sports cars, like Caymans and Boxsters, as well as recent model Corvettes, Ferraris and Porsche 911 based cars. Both The Stuttgart Cup and the Mission Foods Porsche GT3 Cup will run in HSR Group 10.
In addition to morning and afternoon practice and qualifying session, tonight’s 45-minute night race is scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. local time. A final practice/qualifying run will be held Saturday morning at 10:30 a.m. before that afternoon’s back-to-back feature races. A sprint race goes green at 2:15 p.m. with The Hawk Performance 90-minute GT Enduro scheduled to start at 4:15 p.m.
Stuttgart Cup competitors will race in support of Place of Hope this weekend. The series will be among those hosting several children, house parents and VIPS affiliated with the unique welfare organization that provides, in part, family-style foster care – emergency and long-term – family outreach and intervention, transitional housing and support services, adoption and foster care recruitment and much, much more.

About The Stuttgart Cup™ – A sprint and endurance series, The Stuttgart Cup™ is open to all Porsche Caymans and Boxsters, with rules centered on power to weight ratio. All competing cars must compete with stock make and model engine and transmissions with approved allowances for exhaust and intake modifications. Stuttgart Cup organizers also welcome all competitors with existing race-prepared Caymans or Boxsters to compete with body and engine modifications balanced within series power to weight ratio parameters. All such competitors will not be eligible for championship points or class-designated race wins, but the door is always open to all Cayman and Boxster competitors to get in on the action.
