The final race of the Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe season consisted of 31 laps.
Nine Porsche 992 GT3 Cup race cars started the race, but only seven of them finished.
In the end, our crew in car #7—Pavel Bouška (CZ) and Jaroslav Janiš (CZ)—finished in 1st place in the eProAM category and 4th overall.
Pavel Bouška worked his way up to 4th place overall and 1st place in the eProAM category as early as the 4th lap. On Lap 2, the field bunched up behind the safety car, but Pavel continued his aggressive driving after the restart.
On Lap 9, he lost one position, dropping to 5th overall and 2nd in eProAM. However, he kept fighting, and on Lap 13, it was time for a pit stop and a driver change.
J. Janiš took over the wheel from Pavel Bouška and built on his teammate’s excellent work.
About 25 minutes before the end of the race, J. Janiš was in 5th place overall and 2nd in the eProAM category. But his comeback was far from over! About 15 minutes before the finish, he managed to move up to 4th place overall and 1st place in eProAM.
Great teamwork, a fight right down to the final minutes, and an important move to the top of the eProAM category!
Unfortunately, in the first lap, our driver M. Faiereisl had an incident with car number 91 and had to retire.

My entire first season in the Porsche Sprint Challenge also comes to an end at the Hungaroring.
It’s hard to find the right words, but one thing is clear. The team worked absolutely perfectly; we finished every race, the car was always well-prepared—sometimes things went better, sometimes not so much.
I had one sprint victory there and two endurance victories—or maybe even three endurance victories, if I remember correctly.
So, it was a successful season. Things can always be better, but that’s up to us to work a little harder. I’m looking forward to next year, and I promise I’ll show even more.
So, we’ve successfully wrapped up this race weekend at the Hungaroring.
For me, it was a bit of a tough weekend. In the individual sprints, I always finished 2nd in my category; I at least felt good about the first race, but the second one didn’t go so well.
But we made up for it with a victory in the eProAM Endurance category, where we drove exceptionally well. The pit stop went smoothly, the whole team worked perfectly, and we brought home a well-deserved victory, so the weekend and its conclusion were really great.

Our drivers will start the second sprint race of the Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe at the Hungaroring from the following positions:
P. Bouška will start from a better row than in the first sprint race, which took place yesterday.
Eleven Porsche 992 GT3 Cup race cars will take the track.
Matyáš Faiereisl (#9) delivered a fantastic performance and held the lead throughout the race! After the start, he gradually built up a lead, but on the 3rd lap, the safety car came out, bringing the field back together. After three laps behind the safety car—which spent one lap on the track—the race resumed at full speed.
Matyáš, however, didn’t let up and successfully fended off pressure from his rivals for the remainder of the race. Over the course of 13 laps, he secured a well-deserved 1st place overall and in the Pro class!
The icing on the cake was the fastest lap of the race and of the entire Pro class, clocked at 1:47.291.
Pavel Bouška (#7) also delivered a great performance, setting the fastest lap in his class with a time of 1:50.329 and finishing the race in 8th place overall and 2nd place in the Masters class.

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.
Only car #7 took to the track for the final, eighth practice session, with P. Bouška and J. Janiš taking turns behind the wheel.
That wraps up today’s practice session.
Only P. Bouška and J. Janiš took to the track for the seventh practice session in car #7, completing 12 laps with a best time of 1:50.630.
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.
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.
The first sprint race lasts 25 minutes, starting at 11:20 a.m., with 14 Porsche 992 GT3 Cup race cars on the grid.
It is the first of two sprint races to be held at the Brno Circuit as part of the 2026 Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe racing series.

The second qualifying session for the Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe is over. Both qualifying sessions are now complete, and all 14 Porsche 992 GT3 Cup cars know their starting positions.
The second qualifying session was interrupted by a red flag and subsequently ended approximately two minutes early.
Now we’re focusing on the races.
Results of the second qualifying session:
The first sprint race will now follow at 11:20.
The first of two qualifying sessions for the Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe is behind us. Fourteen Porsche 992 GT3 Cup race cars took to the track for qualifying.
The second qualifying session begins at 9:30 a.m.
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!
The first Friday practice session—and the fifth overall—of the 2026 Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe at the Brno Autodrom is behind us! Our drivers have completed more laps on a dry track, and the team continues to work intensively on setting up the Porsche 992 GT3 Cup cars ahead of Saturday’s qualifying sessions and races.
In addition to our race drivers, the coaches—who will serve as co-drivers in this weekend’s endurance race—also took to the track for practice. This allowed the team to use the extra track time to prepare both the crews and the Porsche 992 GT3 Cup race cars.

“It’s been an absolute madness. I’ve never experienced traffic like this in my life. I struggled with it, I tried to hang on. I’ve no idea how many cars I overtook or how many overtook me. I hope I didn’t miss any flags or announcements, because at times I wasn’t sure. It’s 120, it isn’t 120. But I reckon I managed to hold it together somehow. It really was a madness. I’ve never had traffic like this at any race before. Crises … I was overtaking another car here on the home straight; I was faster, he had a slower car on the straight, so I thought to myself – I’ll overtake him. But because I was so fired up, I braked too late and all four wheels locked up as I was approaching that first-gear corner. But I managed to get into first gear there and eventually overtook him on the exit. He overtook me because of that stupid braking, and I overtook him on the exit. So, all right. That was a dramatic moment, because for a split second I was skidding sideways with all four wheels locked up. Otherwise, it was pretty much okay. Now I feel I could have gone even faster, because after all, the gear changes took a bit of time – I was still hunting for the right gear sometimes – but it was better than before.”

The Šenkýř Motorsport team and the crew of Pavel Bouška, Richard Gonda, Tomáš Erdélyi and Robert Šenkýř on the start straight of the Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit.
Gonda: “More than 220 cars lined up on the starting grid here on the Nordschleife. The whole procedure is about to begin. The first thing ahead of us is the formation lap – the warm-up lap – which will take about 15–20 minutes, as we’re driving at 80 km/h. We’re soaking up the atmosphere created by all 10,000 spectators lining the track, whom we’re really looking forward to seeing. And we’re just as excited about driving this BMW M3 E30. We’ve got everything ready and the lads and I are well prepared.”
Bouška: “Well, there’s definitely some nerves here before the start, but let’s hope the car holds out and that we make it to the finish.”
Erdélyi: “So far, the strategy is for Richard to start, then Palo takes over, and I’ll drive the car to the finish. So keep your fingers crossed for us that everything goes smoothly, that we make it to the finish in one piece, and that we’re as successful as possible.”
The driver trio of Richard Gonda, Pavel Bouška and Tomáš Erdélyi are discussing the final details by the BMW M3 E30 (#464) before setting off. The entire Šenkýř Motorsport team is 100 per cent ready for the 2.5-hour Classic Rennen endurance race, where they face a battle against a large field of competitors on the demanding Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit.
“I drove clean lap, but the car’s really hard to handle. I’m constantly trying to find the right speed; when I change down a gear, I slow down too much, so it’s better to just let it run. I’d got the last lap under control. It’s a shame our practice session was half an hour shorter, because if we’d been able to practise for that extra half hour, I’d feel better about tomorrow. But I’m already starting to feel that we’ll pull it off tomorrow.”
