Originally constructed to the order of leading California-based Porsche team The Racer’s Group, this 911 GT3 Cup was entered into the 2009 Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series, duly contesting eight of the 12 rounds held.

For the season-opening 24 Hours of Daytona, the car was shared by factory Porsche drivers Patrick Long and Jörg Bergmeister, RSCS regular Andy Lally, plus amateurs Justin Marks and Richard Valentine. Having qualified 2nd in the GT class, the team enjoyed a relatively uneventful race to finish a superb 9th overall and 1st in class; the 2nd-placed TRG car ensured a team 1-2 and a GT class podium lockout for Porsche.

Seat time in the series’ 250-mile Sprint races was shared between Lally and Marks; those in Daytona, New Jersey, and Mid-Ohio yielding creditable GT class results of 3rd, 4th, and 8th respectively. Additionally, Valentine returned to the squad for the 6 Hours of Watkins Glen in June, although this ended in retirement shortly before three-quarters distance.

Following the season’s conclusion the car was sold to Norway, where it has resided ever since. Owned by the vendor since 2010, it remains in highly original condition and would represent a relatively affordable—and appropriately historic—entry into the myriad GT3 revival events for which it is eligible.

Construite initialement à la demande de la principale écurie Porsche basée en Californie, The Racer’s Group, cette 911 GT3 Cup participa au Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series de 2009 et disputa huit des 12 manches.

Pour les 24 Heures de Daytona qui ouvraient la saison, la voiture fut conduite par les pilotes Porsche Patrick Long et Jörg Bergmeister, le pilote RSCS Andy Lally, et les pilotes amateurs Justin Marks et Richard Valentine. S’étant qualifiée en 2e position dans la catégorie GT, l’équipe profita d’une course relativement tranquille, terminant 9e au classement général et 1re de sa catégorie. Avec la deuxième place remportée par l’autre voiture de l’écurie TRG, Porsche accapara tout le podium en catégorie GT.

Andy Lally et Justin Marks se partagèrent le temps de course des manches Sprint des 250 Miles et obtinrent de bons résultats en catégorie GT à Daytona (3e), New Jersey (4e) et Mid-Ohio (8e). Richard Valentine réintégra l’équipe pour les 6 Heures de Watkins Glen en juin, mais fut contraint à l’abandon peu avant les trois quarts de la course.

À la fin de la saison, la voiture fut vendue en Norvège, son dernier pays de résidence à ce jour. Propriété du vendeur depuis 2010, elle affiche un état d’origine exceptionnel et constituerait une concurrente relativement abordable et historiquement appropriée pour les nombreux événements GT3 Revival auxquels elle est éligible.
