Advice required about racing a Porsche Cayman

[London GT3]

I currently run a Group 1 Capri with my racing partner in the CSCC Future Classics series. We have had some great fun but would like to race something that is more reliable. The Capri is an old girl and everything is at the limit.

We need a 2 driver format for races of 40 minutes to 1 hour. We don't want to race slicks due to cost. CSCC seems to have the New Millenium series. Would a Cayman be competetive here?

Does anyone know what series might be available?

Also, who are the experts for preparing and building a Cayman? We would want a 3.2 or 3.4.

Any comments welcome.

A couple of Caymans have been built for the Porsche Club GB's championship. One, I think, by Hartech in Bolton and raced by a Chris Ward. I think he contributes to the PCGB forum.

There is also a Spec Cayman racing series in the US so there will be info on the net about that.

Should be similar to a Boxster I would have thought?

Good luck.

As already mentioned, speaking with Baz at Hartech in Bolton would be a sound move. There are a number of weaknesses with the M96/97 engine that Hartech have developed fixes for.

Parr are also worth considering http://www.parr-uk.co.uk/racing.html

Range might be an issue. I know for certain 45 minutes is possible but I'm not sure it would race for an hour without refuelling - which I presume is not permitted.

Thank you all for the comments so far. We travelled back from Spa late last night and in spite of a few issues we had such a good weekend I think we might do the Capri for another year! However, my racing partner has other plans for 2017 so maybe I will look at a solo Cayman challenge during 2016.
