Patrick Dempsey goes from Hollywood to the race track.
After over 75 years of history, Porsche has become well-known for its luxury performance vehicle lineup and a well-respected racing pedigree worldwide. Such a respected motorsport legacy has spurred one-make competitions, where a grid full of Porsche race cars battles for victory. The newest, the Porsche Endurance Challenge North America, is set to debut on May 26 at the Circuit of the Americas near Austin, Texas.
Making the racing series debut even more exciting is a star-studded field, including known racing names like Jan Magnussen, Riley Dickinson, Tristan Vautier, Ryan Dalziel, Loek Hartog, Ashley Freiberg, and Zach Vanier, as well as celebrated movie and TV star Patrick Dempsey. The race is the first of four for the new series’ inaugural season. The next races are coming to Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, Sonoma Raceway in Sonoma, California, and back to COTA for the finale.
The first three rounds of the endurance race are 60-minute sprints with a single mandated pit stop, while the six-hour final will require three drivers. With stars as big as Patrick Dempsey involved, the new Porsche Endurance Challenge North America racing series is already abuzz with excitement, and the debut this weekend is already set to be an intense racing weekend.
