Max Coates Prepares For Brands Hatch Showdown

Thursday 3 Oct 2024

In the culmination of a gripping racing season for Max Coates, he now prepares for the final race at Brands Hatch in the UK. Max Coates, who is in his 5th season with NGK Spark Plugs sponsorship, has put in an amazing performance at all the meets in the Porsche Sprint Challenge GB and will be carrying a lot of hopes for himself and the team into the cockpit this weekend.

 

This is Max’s first season racing with the new Porsche Cayman 718 GT4 Clubsport RS. The powerful race machine is a 510bhp purpose built race car and it seems to be a perfect partnership between vehicle and driver so far. There have been highs and lows to the year, as Max has scored podium finishes at every race in the season except for Oulton Park Race 1 and Donnington Park Race 1.

 

Going into the final Max hopes for another podium spot of course but is also hopeful for championship success too. “I am so excited for this weekend, we’ve got a good points gap and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t giving the championship win any thought,” comments Max, “My focus remains on each race this weekend and to do that we need a successful day testing on Friday ahead of the important points scoring sessions throughout the weekend.  We’ve had so much success this year with only two races off the podium, if we can continue that momentum there’s no reason we can’t bring home the big trophy”

 

Niterra UK Ltd is looking forward to backing Max all the way though the final as Becca Knight, Marketing

Manager, Niterra UK Ltd, adds “Max has been fantastic to follow this season! So even if you’re new to racing generally or Porsche Sprint Challenge specifically its going to be great one to watch. Max is a strong performer on the track and we wish him all the best for a win on Sunday.”

 

Max Coates will be staking his claim to a podium spot at Brands Hatch on Saturday 5th October and Sunday 6th October. Qualifying & races will be available via TSL Live and race 3 on Sunday will be streamed live on ITV4 and ITVX online.
