Welch Motorsport will join the 2014 Porsche Carrera Cup GB with a one-car entry at the start of what team principal John Welch intends to be a multi-year programme.The Welch team will enter the latest 991-model 911GT3 Cup in parallel with its on-going BTCC operation and will co-operate closely with established Porsche squad Team Parker Racing.“We want to come in to the Carrera Cup and find our feet,” said Welch. “We want to broaden the team’s base and we know we’ve got an awful lot to learn. Initially the car will run from the Parker awning at race weekends: we’ve known Stuart Parker for years and he’s a very good guy to work with. The car will run in the same livery as our touring cars.”Welch says that expanding into the Carrera Cup is a logical step for the team. “This is the start of what we plan to be a long association with Porsche. It fits very well for us and Porsche is a prestige brand.”Welch is currently discussing the project with several potential drivers.
