Robert Šenkýř shows what it looks like in the pits at the Hungaroring on Friday morning
Good morning from the Hungaroring,
It’s coffee time for now, but in a little while, test day number two of the Porsche Sprint Challenge for the 2026 season finale will begin.
Come take a look at our pit to see what it’s like here. Here are the cars. The engineers’ workstation—results, telemetry, livestream, and so on. Here’s another engineer who’s currently going over the theory with driver Pavel Bouška. Guys, you’re on camera. The essential amenities for the drivers: a seat, refreshments, and a comfortable atmosphere.
That's just what the Porsche Cup looks like when we run it.
Robert Šenkýř and His Assessment of the Porsche 911 Challenge After Testing at the Hungaroring
I’ve just completed my first test drive in the Porsche 911 Challenge.
It’s a top-of-the-line product for our target audience—that is, track day customers who drive their Porsche GT3s or Porsche GT3 RSs and want to take it up a notch, but for whom the GT4 or GT3 Cup is still a step too far.
It’s a great car with a smooth ride. I did a few laps here at Hungaroring—a roughly 21-minute session—but I already have my first impressions of just how consistent the car is. That means every lap is the same in terms of braking and traction; it’s simply a huge difference compared to the production model. That’s what it’s all about—that consistency and the confidence in the brakes.
It’s a good car, especially with the race-spec ABS and traction control setup—there are several ABS settings, and we can fine-tune the traction control; we can adjust these things, so it’s great.
Performance in the wet, with wet tires, is another major advantage.
For me, it’s a fun car and the perfect tool for getting into the world of motorsports.
After practice, our coaches and engineers immediately review the car setups
After practice ends, our coaches and engineers immediately sit down to analyze the data and discuss the car setups together. The goal is to identify further opportunities to optimize the performance of our Porsche 992 GT3 Cup cars and prepare them as best as possible for the upcoming qualifying sessions and races.
Coaches R. Šenkýř and E. Janiš, together with racing drivers J.-M. Schuttrumpf, M. Tóth, J. Mareček and M. Šebek, raise a toast to a successful race in the 2026 Carbonia Cup series at the Autodrom Brno.
The satisfied coaches, drivers and the brilliant atmosphere in the pits after the finish say it all. The entire Šenkýř Motorsport team once again ran like clockwork – from preparation right through to the final lap.
A huge thank you goes to all the drivers, coaches and the whole team for a job well done!
Coaches analyse the results of the first training session at the Brno Autodrom
The first training sessions are now behind us, and Robert Šenkýř and Erik Janiš are identifying all the areas where our drivers could still improve. We’re confident we’ll achieve excellent results at the Carbonia Cup Brno 2026.
Organizing the taxi rides and taking care of all track action fell upon us at Šenkýř Motorsport. It was a lot to handle, but we also enjoyed our own taxi rides and hopefully brought joy to many of you 👊

R. Šenkýř Reflects on the Race Weekend at Tor Poznań
For the Šenkýř Motorsport team, the weekend in Poznań was absolutely perfect.
Three pole positions and three overall victories for Maty Faiereisl.
Good results from Radek Kolařík and Pavel Bouška in the Masters category.
It’s clear that our Be A Race Driver program is working well, because we’re somehow able to bring out top-notch performances from our drivers. And we’re happy because Poznań isn’t an easy track. It was everyone’s first time here, but in the end, we’re leaving completely satisfied.
Coaches R. Šenkýr and R. Gonda are discussing the strategy for today's practices
In the pit boxes at Tor Poznań, ahead of Friday’s practice sessions, the Šenkýř Motorsport team’s coaches are reviewing yesterday’s runs and discussing the strategy and car setups for today’s practice sessions with our data center.

Now they’re heading into the second practice session with the clear goal of taking their performance one step further.

Robert Šenkýř Reviews Šenkýř Motorsport's Performance at the 2026 Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe – Round 2 at Slovakiaring
Three races, three pole positions, two overall wins and a second-place finish, plus several podium finishes in various categories and classes.
So I’m really proud of my team, Šenkýř Motorsport, because it wasn’t easy today in this heat, but we pulled it off—managing the tires and navigating the track in this heat wasn’t easy at all.
We’re satisfied and moving on to Race No. 3 in Poznań, Poland.
Robert Šenkýř and evaluation of the weekend at Ecce Homo Šterberk 2026
The ECCE HOMO weekend in Šternberk is behind us—four cars at the start, four cars at the finish line. We came here to enjoy ourselves and have a great weekend out, and we did exactly that. All the drivers—myself, Richard Gonda, Tomáš Erdélyi, and Pavel Bouška—arrived and dived right into it as one man. So from my side, absolute satisfaction. The team was firing on all cylinders, the cars worked flawlessly, and ECCE HOMO 2026 will live in our memories as a highly successful race.

Robert Šenkýř’s assessment after Saturday's practice
Saturday and the practice runs in Šternberk are behind us. I’m thrilled to be back at Ecce Homo, after so many years, at the site of my major titles and victories from years past. I’m also really glad that the whole crew is here with me: Pavel Bouška, Ríša Gonda, and Tomáš Erdelyi. We’re happy—everything is working as it should. And we’re really looking forward to tomorrow’s race day.

So keep your fingers crossed, a beautiful day ahead of us and if you are not far from Šternberk, come, we would love to see you.

Good morning from the Hungaroring,
It’s coffee time for now, but in a little while, test day number two of the Porsche Sprint Challenge for the 2026 season finale will begin.
Come take a look at our pit to see what it’s like here. Here are the cars. The engineers’ workstation—results, telemetry, livestream, and so on. Here’s another engineer who’s currently going over the theory with driver Pavel Bouška. Guys, you’re on camera. The essential amenities for the drivers: a seat, refreshments, and a comfortable atmosphere.
That's just what the Porsche Cup looks like when we run it.
I’ve just completed my first test drive in the Porsche 911 Challenge.
It’s a top-of-the-line product for our target audience—that is, track day customers who drive their Porsche GT3s or Porsche GT3 RSs and want to take it up a notch, but for whom the GT4 or GT3 Cup is still a step too far.

The goal is to identify further opportunities to optimize the performance of our Porsche 992 GT3 Cup cars and prepare them as best as possible for the upcoming qualifying sessions and races.
Qualifying for the endurance race, which will take place on Saturday afternoon, is now over.
R. Beňo and R. Gonda set the fastest qualifying time in their class and overall, securing pole position.
Qualifying took place in wet conditions, with 16 race cars taking part.
Our team is preparing for Friday's practice at the Brno circuit.
Coaches R. Šenkýř and E. Janiš, together with racing drivers J.-M. Schuttrumpf, M. Tóth, J. Mareček and M. Šebek, raise a toast to a successful race in the 2026 Carbonia Cup series at the Autodrom Brno.
