(Looking for an inside line on the Club? “Inside the SCCA” is a podcast that features interviews with the Club’s leading personalities, but it’s not owned by SCCA®. Instead, it’s an independent media outlet managed by Rule 15 Productions and hosted by longtime SCCA member and journalist Brian Bielanski. He uses the Club’s name with permission.)
What if the next big thing in amateur motorsports isn’t cheaper – it’s smarter? In this episode of Inside the SCCA, podcast host Brian Bielanski is joined by SCCA® stalwart (and Porsche enthusiast) Kelsey Karanges and SCCA Staffer Blair Deffenbaugh to discuss the new Club Spec Cayman and why it might be the most exciting (and controversial) evolution in amateur motorsports yet.
From a random parking lot conversation that launched a racing career to building a Porsche Cayman race car you can daily drive, this episode dives deep into the real cost of getting into Club Spec, why the Cayman was chosen over other platforms, how it compares to the Miata and Mustang, whether a Porsche can actually be affordable in motorsports, and what makes this car a legit “do-it-all” weapon.
If you’ve ever wanted to get into motorsports without blowing your entire budget – or wondered if a Porsche could actually make sense – this is the episode you can’t miss.
