Kent based Motorbase Performance have announced that they are to sit out the 2012 Porsche Carrera Cup GB but Team Principal David Bartrum confirmed that the team will return to the series.
“I love the Carrera Cup, but we were looking for a new challenge for 2012. This isn’t an ending, it’s a sabbatical. Give us a year or two and we’ll be back. Carrera Cup has been a big part of our team and Porsche will always be part of our future,” explained Bartrum.
The series has seen Motorbase at the sharp end in seven out of the eight campaigns that the team has competed in, having joined the grid for the 2004 season. To date, the team has secured twenty six race wins as well as the Teams’ Championship crown in 2010.
The team will return to the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship with their three Ford Focus ST cars and Bartrum confirmed that there are a number of other exciting plans in the horizon for the team.
He added: “We’ve been really busy behind the scenes for the past few months and have a number of exciting plans in the pipeline for this year and that’s where our focus will be.
“We’re not quite in the position to make any announcements at this moment in time, but we’re close – all will be revealed very soon.”
