Porsche Reviews

In 2007 Maxi Jazz raced this 997 GT3 Cup car in the Porsche Carrera Cup championship. It was run by Redline Racing at the time. We bought the car in 2008. It did a couple of track days but was never raced. We've had the car in storage taking it to the occasional show and exhibition, it's wearing CCTV42 livery from a security show in Birmingham several years ago. 

The 997 GT3 Cup car was factory built to go racing. Porsche are one of the few manufacturers who sell bespoke race cars alongside road cars. This model featured a sequential gearbox, blade torsion bars and a host of race features such as built in air jacks and centre lock wheels.

As a piece of Porsche history it makes a loud and assertive statement but it can also be used in anger, either on track days where you don't suffer the compromise of using a road car but instead enjoy the full potential of the 997 model Porsche. It can also still be raced in a number of series.

As the Porsche GT3 Cup car starts to enter the realms of historic racing it offers a competitive but also most importantly safe platform in which to compete. The car was designed from the outset to go racing, just take a look at the roll cages in these cars, they are a work of engineering supremacy. Not just roll protection but also side impact protection as well.

A true petrol head Maxi Jazz is of course best remembered as a legendary artist in the world of electronic / dance music. He was the very definition of cool. The quietest voice making the most noise.
