The tightly controlled Rules and Regulations for the Porsche 924 Championship are aimed at keeping costs under control so that this form of motor racing can be open to all.

For 2008 the championship continues its association with Toyo Tires using the company's Proxes R888 tyre. This is a full race tyre which resulted in many new lap records when used for the first time last year! The introduction of a new tyre also saw closer racing, with drivers having to deal with new braking and overtaking zones.

The 2008 season will be the seventeenth year of the Championship which is designed to be a suitable series for both novice and experienced drivers. Importantly, the regulations level the playing field leaving the emphasis on the skill of the driver not on the size of the budget.

Highly competitive it may be, but there is a real camaraderie amongst the drivers with what goes on in the paddock being almost as important as what happens on the track.
