Newsletter 77 Porsche GT3 Cup - Puebla - 2nd Race
The Porsche GT3 Cup Mexico had its second race of the year in Puebla at the magnificent Autodromo Miguel E. Abed.

The intricate FIA approved track proved ideal for the Porsche GT3 Cup, tight double apex corners and off camber long turns proved to be the ideal playground for the Cup cars.

Participants surely had fun on this difficult circuit and quite close action, but don't take it from me and...













...let's check out the action!!!
Once again the Porsche GT3 Cup cars proved to be an exhilarating machine, they manage to dominate the quite difficult Puebla circuit with ease.

There is no doubt the Porsche GT3 Cup cars are the most capable racing cars in our country and watching these cars on the track is a true delight.

Congratulations to all participants and we will see you next year...


...until then...
