Phase 0ne - Birth of a Cup Car:
What sets a Porche GT3 Cup car apart from a regular production vehicle is that a cup car is purpose-built and assembled for the race track. Almost all the sound-sapping, exhaust emissions, and various trim elements are removed. It does retain motorsport-spec catalytic converters. The result is a lighter-weight, race-optimized platform fit for the track.
Phase Two - Livery Reveal:
The John Player Special livery is a very well-known motorsport livery design, made popular by the dominant Lotuses of Formula One in the 1970s era. Their striking black-and-gold livery is what inspired this season's livery for SCB Racing, captured and revealed in the images above.
Phase Three - Season Coverage:
The images above are coverage of the rest of the 2019 season - documenting team dynamics, key brand capture opportunities, wins, challenges, and other incredible storytelling visuals for social media and, more importantly, key sponsorship marketing assets - the lifeblood of any motorsport team. SCB went on to secure a vice championship with their No. 3 pilot, Parker Thompson.
