Simon Green Motorsport will be joining the 2020 Porsche Carrera Cup GB grid with a three-car entry with Lee Frost, Lucky Khera, and a yet-to-be-announced third driver.

SGM has previously taken part in Radical’s, Classic Touring Cars, Britcar and GT Cup and the move into Carrera Cup GB is seen as a natural progression.

“To be joining the Porsche Carrera Cup GB is something the whole team is really relishing,” said team owner Green, “For me, from the first meeting I had with the team at Porsche Motorsport GB it was clear that it was an amazing opportunity for the team.

“It is great to have Lucky and Lee on board, this will be my third season working with both drivers. We have just had an extremely successful year together which gives us an excellent starting point for 2020. We know how each other operate, and the guy’s feedback has been getting better and better and in turn, so has their pace and consistency.

Lee Frost added, “To race in the Carrera Cup GB is a dream come true the cars are just something else to drive and look at. Having taken part in 2 events this year there was just no question in my head where I wanted to race, and I am delighted to have been able to get on the grid for next year.

“It is also brilliant to be able to join SGM alongside Lucky, SGM have been faultless over recent years in the many cars we have thrown at them to run.”

Teammate Khera echoed the delight of Frost and his confidence in Simon Green Motorsport, “I’m extremely excited to be racing a Porsche GT3 Cup car in the Carrera Cup GB next year.

“I have always been a huge Porsche fan from when I owned my first Porsche road car and many a time have looked at the cars in the paddock and thought to myself one day, after competing in the last 2 rounds this year and knowing what the series and the car feels like I cannot wait for 2020. It was great to meet all the Porsche team this year to very professional, friendly and a good laugh, can’t wait for the breakfast!
