The fifth race weekend of the 2026 Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe series took us to our home circuit in Brno at the end of September. We fielded three cars – Matyáš Faiereisl, Pavel Bouška, and Radek Kolařík – competing in Šenkýř Motorsport colors. Each of our drivers managed to make it onto the podium over the course of the weekend.
Another successful race weekend of the 2026 Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe—the fifth of the season, held this time at the Brno Circuit—has concluded. Matyáš Faiereisl maintains the lead in both the overall driver standings and his Pro category. Thanks to the races in Brno, Pavel Bouška climbed to second place in the Masters category and eleventh overall, while Radek Kolařík moved up to fourth in the Masters category and nineteenth overall.But let’s take it step by step: how did the Thursday practice sessions, Friday qualifying, and Saturday races of the 2026 PSCCE at the Brno Circuit unfold?
Matyáš Faiereisl qualified for P2. Starting from the front row, he also managed to finish in P2 and P2 in the sprints. In the 100-mile endurance race, paired with Richard Gonda, he also finished in 2nd place (Pro and ePro).
Pavel Bouška was similarly successful, securing 2nd place in his category during qualifying. He finished the sprint races on the podium in 2nd place and 2nd place (Masters). Teaming up with Jarek Janiš, they finished the endurance race in 1st place (eProAM).
Radek Kolařík finished qualifying in 4th place. He maintained that position in the first sprint and finished it in 4th place (Masters); unfortunately, he did not finish the second race. However, he made up for it in the endurance race by securing a podium finish in 2nd place (eMasters).

M. Faiereisl reviews the first sprint race in Brno at PSCCE26
For me, the first race was strong right from the start—I managed to move up from second place to first by passing my biggest rival—but after about two more laps, we swapped positions again.
So going into the second race, I’m determined to defend that first-place position right after the start.

Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe - It's race week
IT’S RACE WEEK 🇨🇿
Round 5 of the Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe is here. This week, we’re heading to the Czech Republic as teams and drivers get ready to take on the Automotodrom Brno.
A familiar place with new goals. Last season, Brno hosted our season finale. Now, we’re back for another weekend of Porsche racing and another important chapter of the 2026 season.
Pavel started joining us at trackday events with his Porsche and soon decided to become part of our BE A RACE DRIVER project.
Thanks to hard work, perseverance and a passion for motorsport, he has gradually developed into a fast and confident driver who now successfully takes part with us in several racing series. As part of our Classic program, Pavel also competed in the very demanding 24h Classic race at the Nürburgring in the BMW M3 E30 during the 2025 season.
With his current Lamborghini Huracan Supertrofe Evo II, he participates in all our race tests and the Endless Summer program, Carbonia Cup races, and with a racing driver's license, he has already tried out two races of the International Czech Circuit Championship and the Porsche 992 Cup Central Europe races.
As a young driver, Matyas will compete in the overall classification and in the Rookies standings for drivers under 25. His journey toward a racing career began two years ago with his first sessions in a BMW M2 Trackday Evo. In the 2025 season, he moved to the new BMW M4 GT4 G82, with which he started his very first race ever in the Carbonia Cup. At the end of the 2025 season came his debut — and immediately his first pole position — in a Czech Championship race in Brno, followed by three wins in the final round of the series at Balaton in Hungary. Matyas already tried the Porsche during free practice for the final PSCCE 2025 race in Brno and impressed with his speed.
Radek started out at trackday events with a BMW M2 Trackday Evo. Over time, it started to feel „too small“ for him.
After agreeing with the team, Radek moved straight into the Porsche 992 GT3 Cup, and with several starts in the ESET Cup and especially many sessions in the Endless Summer winter training events, he gained the confidence needed to enter the Porsche 992 GT3 Cup series.
Radek continues to take part in Šenkýř Motorsport trackday events; the Race category is the ideal platform for his driving development.
According to statistics, the most successful Slovak rider in terms of the number of victories in major international races gained pole position and the highest percentage chance of winning the race. In his career, he won the prestigious Formula F3 Eurocup series and also tried out the special Formula GP2, GP3 and Indy-lights. Since 2017, he has been a pilot in GT3 category races for Šenkýř Motorsport team.
Erik is a multiple Czech Champion and historically one of the two Czech go-kart European champions. The driver who was part of the junior Formula 3 Mercedes Benz team, the Czech national team member in the A1 GP. Since 2014, in addition to his own racing, he has been engaged in engineering activities for GT3 teams. As an engineer, he was also involved in second place for Senkyr Motorpsort in the International GT Masters 2019 at the Red Bull Ring.
Two-time European hillclimb champion in the overall classification of touring cars division, multiple champion of the Czech and Slovak Republic in hillclimb and circuit races, long-term official member of the Czech national team and driver with a successful thirty-year racing career.

2026 Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe Calendar
The sixth and final weekend of the 2026 Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe series! This time, from October 8–11, 2026, we headed to the Hungarian Hungaroring, a track we hadn’t explored much. And it was a real challenge. Matyáš Faiereisl and Pavel Bouška took part in the weekend and successfully tackled the track.
Porsche unveiled a new addition to its racing lineup, the Porsche 911 Challenge, and Šenkýř Motorsport wasted no time testing it in a real-world drive at the Grobnik Automotodrom as part of the PSCCE 2026. Read our summary of the Porsche 911 Challenge: What kind of car is it? Who is it designed for? What’s under the hood? How did it make us feel? And how can you get behind the wheel yourself?
The fourth weekend of the Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe series included a trip outside of Central Europe to Grobnik, Croatia (03.–05. 09. 2026). Two of our drivers entered the race for the Šenkýř Motorsport team – Pavel Bouška (Masters and eProAM categories) and Matyáš Faiereisl (Rookies, Pro and ePro categories). And despite the more modest composition in terms of the number of drivers, we achieved very good results.
The third weekend of the Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe series at Tor Poznań in Poland (July 2–4, 2026) is behind us, and this time we’re leaving with perfect results: three pole positions, three overall victories, and several other podium finishes in the individual categories.

The 100-mile Czech Endurance Race at the Brno Autodrom is behind us. The race took place on a dry track at a temperature of 18 °C, with a total of 12 Porsche 992 GT3 Cup cars lining up at the start. All 12 crews managed to finish the race—and all three of our cars were among them.
A total of 29 laps were completed during the race, and the checkered flag fell at 5:51 p.m.
Car #9 | M. Faiereisl / R. Gonda
In the 30th minute, he headed into the pit for the mandatory driver change. At that point, he was holding 2nd place overall and 2nd place in the ePro class. Richard Gonda then took the wheel and, in the 40th minute, continued in 2nd place overall and in the ePro class.
The #9 crew then crossed the finish line in 2nd place overall and 2nd place in the ePro class.
Car #7 | P. Bouška / E. Janiš
Car #5 | R. Kolařík
The Brno endurance race thus ends very successfully for our team—all three Porsche 992 GT3 Cup cars crossed the finish line, and all our crews are taking home podium finishes in their respective classes.
Thank you to the entire team, the drivers, the coaches, the mechanics, and of course all the fans for your support throughout the entire race weekend in Brno!
Today’s final race is here.
The 100-Mile Endurance Race of the Czech Republic started at 4:50 p.m., and the drivers have one hour of racing ahead of them. At least one pit stop is mandatory, whether the car is shared by two drivers or driven by a single driver.
Šenkýř Motorsport has entered three cars:
The weather is ideal. Almost clear, 19 degrees, and perfect conditions for the race.
Let’s do this.
Twelve cars will compete in the 100-mile Czech endurance race, and we will field three cars with the following lineups:
The race will start at 4:50 p.m.
The second Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe sprint race in Brno is behind us.
13 laps on a dry track, 19 degrees, and light cloud cover. Of the 13 cars that started, only 12 crossed the finish line. Unfortunately, our Radek Kolařík was not among them; he did not finish the race.
Pavel Bouška held the lead in his Masters class for a long time. In the end, he finished in second place.
Here are the results for our drivers in the second sprint race:
M. Faiereisl secured second place in the overall standings and in his class.
P. Bouška finished second in his Masters class, setting the fastest time in his race group with a lap time of 2:04.600.

For me, the first race was strong right from the start—I managed to move up from second place to first by passing my biggest rival—but after about two more laps, we swapped positions again.
So going into the second race, I’m determined to defend that first-place position right after the start.
The first sprint race in Brno is behind us, and there was certainly no shortage of drama.
Right in the opening laps, the yellow flag was waved at T4. At 11:43, the Safety Car took to the track, and the race remained truly thrilling right up to the finish. Of the 14 cars that started, two did not finish the race. A total of 12 laps were completed.
On a dry track, with a temperature of 17 degrees and light cloud cover, our drivers achieved the following results:
M. Faiereisl thus secured second place in both the overall standings and his class. And P. Bouška finished on the podium in his Masters class, taking second place.
One race is behind us. The second one is still ahead of us.
The first sprint race lasts 25 minutes, starting at 11:20 a.m., with 14 Porsche 992 GT3 Cup race cars on the grid.

Today’s schedule:
A look back at the second day of Friday practice at the Brno Circuit as part of the 2026 Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe.
Check out highlights from the track, our team at work, and the preparations for the Porsche 992 GT3 Cup race cars ahead of this weekend’s qualifying sessions and races.
Richard Gonda and Matyáš Faiereisl went for a bike ride together and rode the Brno Autodrom circuit. It was the perfect way to cover every meter of the track ahead of the race weekend and get a little exercise at the same time.
Knowing the track from the driver’s seat of a Porsche 992 GT3 Cup is one thing. Riding it on a bike is quite another.
The final Friday practice session—and the sixth overall—of the 2026 Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe at the Brno Autodrom is now behind us. This wraps up today’s practice schedule, and we can now fully focus on Saturday’s race day.
Pavel Bouška was the first to take the wheel of our #7 car, and he was relieved by coach Erik Janiš at approximately 4:20 p.m. This gave the crew additional time to prepare for the upcoming endurance race.
The final practice session also took place on a dry track at a temperature of around 16 °C, which allowed us to continue working on the setup of our Porsche 992 GT3 Cup cars.
So, practice is over! We still have a drivers’ meeting today, but the main event begins tomorrow morning. We have two qualifying sessions, two sprint races, and one endurance race ahead of us.
Results from the sixth practice session at PSCCE Brno:
Thank you to all our fans for your support—tomorrow we’re going all out!
During the final practice run, there was a driver change in car #9, with Radek Gonda replacing Matyáš Faiereisl. The crew then continued their preparations for Saturday’s qualifying and races.

So, here we are on the second day of testing. It was wet all day yesterday, so I’m glad I finally got to drive the Porsche properly in the rain.
Today it’s finally dry, so the conditions are a little more pleasant, and I definitely want to enjoy today and push the pace.
Hi, we’re kicking off the second day of testing for the Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe at our home track in Brno, and we’re really looking forward to it.
Yesterday we had a lot of rain and did a lot of driving on wet tires, which is always good for testing.
Today the weather looks great, and it’s set to stay that way tomorrow for Race Saturday, when we’ll have qualifying, the race, and the endurance event.
So there’s a lot to look forward to, and we’re also looking forward to seeing all of you who come out to support us.

Welcome to Automotodrom Brno, the stage for Round 5 of the Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe.
At 5.403 km long and featuring 14 corners, Brno combines fast, flowing sections with significant elevation changes, making it a demanding circuit for both drivers and cars.
This weekend, the field will battle it out across the 25 minute Sprint Races and the 60 minute Endurance Race.
Today, Thursday, September 24, 2026, the schedule for PSCCE 2026 will be as follows:
So today, we'll mainly be doing three practice runs.
A shot of our three Porsche 992 GT3 Cup cars—which we’ll be fielding in the PSCCE Brno race—and our BMW M4 GT4s as they cross the finish line at the Creditas Autodrom Brno circuit.
Before the races themselves, we organized a two-day track day on Monday and Tuesday, which provided our drivers with the ideal opportunity for intensive training and preparation for the race weekend. Over the course of both days, they honed their skills, worked with Šenkýř Motorsport coaches and technicians on car setups, and gained further valuable experience right on the track.
Other racing teams participating in the upcoming race also took advantage of our track day. As a result, there was a great racing atmosphere on the track for the entire two days, and everyone had the chance to prepare themselves and their cars for the challenges ahead.
