Denny returns to Porsche Carrera Cup GB with Parr
Australian racer Richard Denny will return to the Porsche Carrera Cup GB this season with Parr Motorsport. Denny, a Senior Vice President at global satellite telecommunications operator Inmarsat, made his debut in the championship last year following a first and successful racing season in 2009 in GT racing. “I’m really looking forward to returning to the Carrera Cup this year”, said London-based Denny. “2010 was a bit of a baptism of fire for me, as the Carrera Cup is so very competitive. We also missed the last two rounds of the season, but I feel far better prepared for this season. The gym has become my second home and I feel far more physically and mentally ready for the racing this year. I can’t wait to get out in the new car! "Due to work commitments I was in the US when the car was delivered so my first test will be the media day on the new layout at Snetterton. I’m ready though and can’t wait to get out on track against my old rivals and some new ones.”Parr Motorsport team principal Paul Robe said: “I really think Richard will be a much more complete driver this year. The second year in any championship is always better as you get the consistency. This year we’ll have the new car of course but Richard has been out in a 2008-model 911 GT3 Cup already this year and he’s setting competitive times. All in, Richard has worked hard and I think we’ll be surprising a few people this year.”The Parr Motorsport team will take part in the pre-season test and media day at Snetterton on 22 March with the 450bhp Porsche. The opening two races of the season will be at Brands Hatch over the weekend of 2/3 April.
