Well, the 2020 GT World Challenge season is over, but there’s still the final round of the intercontinental GT Challenge. The #12 is currently 2nd in the points standings and are in with a good shot at taking the title. If they want to win the Intercontinental GT Challenge, they must stay ahead of their rivals. It'd be a MASSIVE result for GPX Racing / Porsche if they won the title. It'd end their season / year on a high. IMO, this is the more significant of the two. The Intercontinental GT Challenge is A LOT harder to win than the GT World Challenge Endurance Cup.
Unfortunately, they were unable to wrap up the GT World Challenge Endurance Cup. Last time out at Paul Ricard, they finished 2nd, behind the AF Corsa Ferrari. Honestly, I am a little disappointed they were unable to get past the Ferrari (the #51 AF Corse Ferrari jumped ahead of them in the final pit-stop). Then again, they got a DNF at the Nürburgring (the #12 found themselves in the wall after having such a strong charge through the field). I think that's what cost them the championship. If they'd gathered some points in that round, they would've secured the GT World Challenge Endurance Cup, even if the Ferrari finished ahead of them Honestly, I'm surprised the #88 AKKA ASP Mercedes DID NOT win the championship (they had A LOT of bad luck in the last few rounds. When I watched some of the highlights of the 24 Hours of Spa, they lost a wheel and at Paul Ricard, the left corner of their splitter was dragging on the floor, slowing 'em down and they lost a couple of positions as a result.) and where the Ferrari / the GPX Porsche ended up. To finish 2nd in the championship is not a bad result. It could've been a whole lot worse. I'm just glad it wasn't an Audi / Lamborghini that won the championship. Honestly, I was thoroughly impressed with the performance of the #51 AF Corse Ferrari. They had a REALLY strong run at the 24 Hours of Spa ...but then, it started to rain when there was only 2 and a half hours to go and the wet conditions favoured the Porsche. The #54 Dinamic Motorsport Porsche and the #12 GPX Racing Porsche managed to get past the Ferrari, making it a Porsche 1 - 3 - 4. a fantastic result
The Kyalami 9 hour is on the 12th of December and it'll be LIVE and FREE on their youtube channel.
