Time for a bit of gratuitous car porn for no other reason than it's Friday evening and sometimes we all need a bit of a lift - in spirits. I make a point of watching as many of Porsche's single-make Cup championships as possible, keeping track of the Carrera Cup GB which runs as a support series to the BTCC and also the Mobil1 Supercup that supports the majority of Formula One races.

We've got some great British Porsche drivers, not least Tim Harvey who won this year's 2010 Carrera Cup GB, but we've also been pretty successful in the premier Mobil1 championship with Sean Edwards, Nick Tandy and last year's Carrera Cup GB champion Tim Bridgman.

We are full of admiration for the project started by Michael and Maximilian Stoschek to resurect the Lancia Stratos using the most modern technologies and build standards, whilst still retaining the intrinsic chuckability of the original iconic car.
