Great looking entry from Tiger Racing! We’re not big fans of K&N filters around here but we are fans of a K&N branded Porsche! Ha!
With Sebring less than a week away, Tiger Racing”s Paul Brown has been brought in to pilot the No. 96 K&N Engineering Porsche 911 GT3 for the season opener.
Paul is no stranger to the SCCA Pro Racing SPEED World Challenge GT series with 44 starts in his career including 19 top-10s and 5 top-five finishes. He took a career-high finish of second at the 1999 Vancouver street race after leading the first half and suffering from a broken transmission. Brown’s experience and demonstrated ability attracted K&N Engineering to the program and the No. 96 Porsche will carry K&N’s signature colors at Sebring.
“I am very excited about returning to World Challenge,” Brown said. “This is where I cut my teeth in road racing, so it’s like coming home.”
Brown’s only previous start at Sebring came in 2001 as a last minute substitute for an injured driver. Brown literally jumped into a Corvette as it rolled onto the track for the presentation lap. With no practice, and having never driven the 3.7-mile track before, Brown managed to charge from 31st to a 15th-place finish.
The new Porsche will be prepped by 911 Design out of Montclair, Calif., where Brown will be teammates with Eric Olberz, who returns for his third year in World Challenge driving the No. 29 Sport Chalet Porsche.
“The guys at 911 Design have been great to work with and have been focused on bringing me up to speed on the GT3,” Brown said. “With the automotive powerhouses of K&N Filters and Eibach Springs behind us and the technical support of ERP Suspension Engineering, this could be a very exciting year.”
“I’ve known Paul for years and he is nothing short of 100 percent focused on driving and being great at it,” Sports Marketing Director for K&N Charles Maier said. “He is a man of integrity in business and simply does what he says he will. When this opportunity came to partner up with Paul, I knew that he would be a good ambassador for K&N in an area of motorsport that we have not been so active in as of late. I personally love road racing and feel that we, as a company, need to continue to mine out solid relationships in this category of motorsports. We wish Paul and Tiger Racing all the best at the season opener, Sebring!”
Along with K&N Engineering, manufacturers of high performance air and oil filters and air intake systems, associate sponsorship includes Tiger Racing, Eibach Springs, ERP Suspension Engineering, JRZ, Roller Hoop, G-Stream and OpalGuy.com.

I was very disappointed to see that Speed has pulled German Touring Car, BTCC and WTCC off the Program Schedule list. We checked the forums and other avenues but no luck. Since [insert racing series name here] has taken over all of SpeedTV, we figured all non domestic racing was going to be on in the early hours or not at all.
Do we have good news for you! The schedule is up and it starts this weekend. Set your TiVo’s, cancel your torrent downloads, grab your Audi shirt and get ready!
We set up a new calendar on markthisdate. It provides numerous calendar options from iCal, Google, Palm, Outlook and a ton more. You shouldn’t have a problem adding to your calendar of choice.

MONTEREY, Calif. (Oct. 19, 2007) – Chip Herr, of Lititz, Pa., topped the time sheets in morning practice for Round Ten of the SCCA Pro Racing SPEED World Challenge Touring Car Championship. Peter Cunningham, of Grafton, Wis., and Brandon Davis, of Denver, Colo., were second and third fastest, respectively, at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
Chip Herr was the fastest SCCA SPEED Touring Car in morning practice at Laguna Seca (Weber image).
Herr hit the top of the timing monitors early and continued to whittle down his time throughout the 20-minute practice session. By the end, a 1:35.929 was the (83.987 mph) was good enough to keep the No. 17 STaSIS/Clear Capital/Nalley Audi A4 on top.
“We made some really great changes,” Herr said. “We put a stiffer bar on the car that we’ve never used before. Yesterday, I tested it and today I think we proved it”s going to work for qualifying at least.
“We haven’t historically done well here. I finished fifth here last year and I qualified 10th. I don’t know if I’ll be able to pass a bunch of cars again on the start like I did last year. There’s a lot of people here battling for Championships so it’s going to be tough. I don’t want to be in the midst of it, but I’m going to be there.”
Four-time World Challenge Champion Cunningham ended the session second fastest in his No. 42 Acura Certified Pre-Owned/RealTime Racing Acura TSX. The winningest driver in series history entered a time of 1:36.450 (83.533 mph). Teammate Davis in the No. 43 Acura Certified Pre-Owned/RealTime Racing Acura TSX completed the top three with a time of 1:36.478 (83.509 mph).
Currently second in the Drivers’ Champion, Randy Pobst, of Gainesville, Ga., was fourth on the time sheets, turning a 1:36.538 (83.457 mph) in his No. 73 MAZDASPEED Motorsports Development MAZDA6. Defending SCCA SPEED Touring Car Champion Pierre Kleinubing, of Coconut Creek, Fla., made it three Acuras in the top five, clocking a 1:36.804 (83.228 mph) in his No. 1 Acura Certified Pre-Owned/Real Time Racing Acura TSX.
Driving last year’s race-winning car, Kuno Wittmer (Acura RSX) was sixth, followed by Ian Baas (Audi A4), Nick Esayian (Acura TSX), Jeff Altenburg (MAZDA6) and Charles Espenlaub (MAZDA6).
The second SCCA SPEED Touring Car practice session is scheduled for 5:05 p.m. (PDT).
