As the current Champion, I know I am the man everyone wants to beat, but trust me, I am working overtime to push the team. This year I dont just want the title, I want the most poles, wins and fastest laps too. As ever, I am up against some very talented competition, but I very much believe in my ability and that of the team around me.The up-coming season marks an opportunity for Michael to kick start his career, having struggled to raise the funding required to showcase his talent. Having secured the 2012 title on a shoestring budget, Samsung recognised Michaels ability and were quick to secure him for their 2013 programme with InterGTM. The Reading based driver was quick to recognise an opporutnity to establish himself as a brand ambassador through motorsport."To be associated with such a prestigious company is fantastic for my profile and career. I'm at the stage of my career where it is about more than being a fast driver, added Meadows. Everybody recognise Samsung as a global brand and it is a priveledge to be able to represent them, both on and off the track."Porsche Carrera Cup runs on the UKs premium motorsport package, TOCA, and will provide the electronics giant an opportunity to engage with more than 35,000 fans at each event and a further 19m viewers via live TV coverage on ITV.The first race of the 2013 Porsche Carrera Cup GB will mark the championships 200th race and also the 50th of the remarkable 911 model.
