Michelin has continued its support of the Porsche Carrera Cup GB into a ninth consecutive season as the championship opens at Brands Hatch this weekend (2/3 April).

Having been the control tyre supplier for the Carrera Cup GB since the championship was created in 2003, Michelin is once more supporting the teams and drivers with the award of a complete set of slick racing tyres at each event. Before the start of testing, a name is drawn from a hat to receive the tyres, with a value of £1000.

The winner of the Michelin prize draw ahead of the first two rounds of the Porsche Carrera Cup GB at Brands Hatch this weekend was Michael Meadows from SAS/Redline.

"Michelin has supported us throughout the history of the Carrera Cup GB and I am delighted that once again they are giving away 10 sets of tyres across the season," said championship manager Marion Barnaby.
