What I have heard:
1. Yes they are close to revealing the GT4 Cup car, and yes there is a huge amount of interest.
2. If you don't currently have an established race team, don't even bother asking for one right now.
3. Porsche will require some sort of hands-on training for the pit/engineer crew... at the factory. In Germany.

He cant be stopped right now. But if hes the hired gun for the debut its likely to ensure that theres a podium in the cars initial outing, not because hes going to be driving in a lower class for the season. Still, its a power move by Porsche and to me, signals that they want to own the class. Sweet.

This is what I heard….rumors on the street...
2016 Buyers will need to commit to a six race national series, full race team support and transportation, 3-4 day travel for each event….roughly $150K buy-in includes the car & entry fees,…however, you will be responsible for travel expenses, team/crew support, tires, etc….most likely its still going to be $10-$15k++ cost per event for the first year of ownership. I would factor in $75-$90K for the first six events, pending no major drama or contact. Don’t forget you will still need to pay for set-up and testing days prior to the first race.
Oh...and it will come with Motorsport Paddles...
