Robertson returns to Porsche
Former PremiAir Racing chief Stephen Robertson will return to racing at a familiar home at Porsche.
Robertson will return as soon as next week’s Carrera Cup round at Queensland Raceway where the category supports the Supercars.
He was recently leading the PremiAir Supercars squad before leaving in May.
Two months later, he will be back in the Supercars paddock, but wearing Porsche colours,
Robertson will perform a consulting role alongside Motorsport Sporting and Technical Manager Jesse Hammond.
He has a strong knowledge of Carrera Cup given he served as the full-time Sporting & Technical manager for Porsche Motorsport in Australia between 2015 and 2021.
“I’ve had long ties to Porsche and it’s going to be good to be back in the paddock with people I know and a product I’m very familiar with,” Robertson said.
“I left the Supercars world to slow down a little bit and then focus on building my contract business and this has been a well-timed opportunity, I think for both of us.
“There’s a great crew working at Porsche Motorsport and my role will be to support the competitors and the customers and instil even more confidence in the product we have, and to help verify the good work that has already been done.
“I’m looking forward to working with Craig and the team moving forward.”
Senior Motorsport Manger Craig Nayda welcomed Robertson’s return.
“Stephen’s experience in the championship and his knowledge of both the Type 992 GT3 Cup Car and the teams involved means he will be able to fit straight into his role commencing at Queensland Raceway next week,” he said.
“His addition to our team adds technical depth and allows us to better provide a service to our customers, teams and drivers to ensure the championship operates at the level expected.
“We welcome Robbo back to the Porsche family as we continue to showcase the premier one-make category in Australia.”
