Continental Challenge: Muehlner fields Cayman GT4

With the recent introduction of the 2016 Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport, Muehlner Motorsports America has entered the IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge with the newest Porsche Motorsport developed and built racecar. The Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport is the perfect platform for competing in the Grand Sport class, allowing for certain modifications for the top level production-based racing in the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge.

One area of modification key to the 2016 campaign will involve suspension components, which highlights the longtime partnership of H&R Special Springs and the engineers at Muehlner Motorsports America. Not only does H&R offer state of the art dampers and springs, but the German Lennestadt based company has Anti Roll Bars for the team to work with for this season.

"In Europe, we have worked with H&R for over 25 years, and with the past six years in the U.S., we never trusted anything else but H&R Springs," explains Bernhard Muehlner, Managing Director and lead engineer at Muehlner Motorsports America and Muhlner Motorsport in Europe. "Their 'Made in Germany' quality is very important to us because suspension parts are so relevant for a safe and reliable race car, an area I would never take a risk. Whether it is Eau-Rouge at Spa-Francorchamps, the 'Fuchsrohre' at Green Hell called Nurburgring Nordschleife, or the high banking of Daytona International Speedway, we trust only in H&R Special Springs.

The IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge starts in January with the Roar Before the 24 test at Daytona. The team's driver lineup will be announced shortly.

Also for 2016, Muhlner Motorsport will be campaigning multiple Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsports in Europe, including the German Endurance Championship at the Nurburgring Nordschleife (VLN). Muehlner Motorsports America team is also currently supporting customers through M-service, the club sport department of Muehlner Motorsports America, in various Porsche Club of America events and other Porsche GT race series.
