I recommend that anyone who is interest in the brand or racing history of it to attend, and only wish that Patrick Long was still on board as a factory driver to join you.

Whew. Yeah, totally.
Not all of the factory Porsche drivers drive the factory Porsche entry--only recently did Porsche reinstate a factory team. Their factory drivers are assigned to teams campaigning Porsches. It's like borrowing a library book, kinda.

$2017 Challenge Porsche? Hmmm, I might have to make a call....
