Sean to make his Le Mans 24h debut with ProSpeed Competition!
Published May 15, 2012 in Endurance | Kyle Williams

Present for the third consecutive year at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, ProSpeed Competition confirms its international line-up. This Belgian team, elected “Best Technical Assistance -Escra Prize” during the 2011 edition, reveals its latest ambitions. The Porsche 911 GT3 RSR #75, in the hands of three Porsche specialists, are out to claim a top classification in the LM GTE AM category, the second most represented category in the field. Alongside the fast Saudi Adbulaziz Al Faisal, already seen in action last year at Le Mans, ProSpeed Competition welcomes the American Bret Curtis and the speedy Sean Edwards. This Brit, a true ace of the Porsche SuperCup, had previously teamed up with the ProSpeed Competition squad during some of the European FIA GT2 Championship meetings…

Rudi Penders (Team Principal): “ProSpeed Competition discovered the 24 Hours of Le Mans back in 2010, finishing the event as first “100% private” team. Last year the iBird impressed and awaken everyone’s spirits, a well as the quality of our technical support during the “pit stops”. Our objective in 2012 is to cross the finishing line for the third consecutive time and to continue to progress. A podium in the LM GTE AM class? Yes, we’ll be doing everything to achieve that.”

A great weekend in Lausitzring for Sean, not so great for his championship rivals!
Published May 7, 2012 in Porsche Cup | Kyle Williams

The third and fourth races of the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany turned out to be as exciting as promised. After a mixed qualifying session, on Saturday the ‘Team Deutsche Post by tolimit‘ drivers started with René Rast in position 3, Sean Edwards in position 6 and Klaus Bachler in position 12. The Porsche Junior driver had a collision on the first lap and couldn`t keep his place. A damaged car led him to finish the race in 18th place. Drivers championship leader René Rast had a better race. He put pressure on the two leading drivers and managed to take 2nd place. His teammate Sean Edwards initially fell back to 7th place but then undertook a series of successful overtaking manoeuvres to finish directly behind René. For a second time, two of the ‘Team Deutsche Post by tolimit‘ drivers finished on the podium.

Sunday`s race was not so successful for the tolimit motorsport team. An accident in another series led to a delayed start for what turned out to be a turbulent 4th race. Sean had a good start and was able to defend his 1st place and ended with a start-finish victory. René Rast joined the leading cars in position 5 and fought to the final lap for a podium position. Shortly before the end he had a collision with Nicki Thiim which put him back to 9th place, where he finished the race. The second race was not very successful for the Porsche Junior driver. After an impact on the start-finish straight, he was unable to finish the race. Despite the highs and lows of the Sunday race, the ‘Team Deutsche Post by tolimit‘ drivers René Rast and Sean Edwards lead the Drivers` Championship. The lead in the Team` Championship has also been extended.

A weekend of mixed fortunes in Hockenheim
Published May 1, 2012 in Porsche Cup | Kyle Williams

The first race weekend of the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany has finished. The high powered performance of the drivers at the Hockenheimring gave spectators plenty to see at the Saturday and Sunday races. The `Deutsche Post by tolimit` Team started the season with two best times in qualifying, courtesy of Sean Edwards. In Saturday’s race, tyre damage forced the British driver to retire on the 5th lap. On the same lap, technical problems forced Klaus Bachler to pit. He managed to continue the race and finished in 17th place. René Rast took this season’s first Porsche Carrera Cup victory.

The second race on Sunday was dominated by yellow Porches. Sean defended his pole position throughout the race. His teammate René Rast took third place during the race and crossed the line in that position. Klaus Bachler finished his second race in a Porsche in 13th place. The start of the season in Hockenheim has therefore seen The `Deutsche Post by tolimit` Team celebrating two podium places and two race victories.

Published April 24, 2012 in Endurance | Kyle Williams

The MOMO NGT Motorsport Porsche co-driven by Sean Edwards, Henrique Cisneros and Carlos Kauffmann led the GTC class of the 60th running of the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring for a very extensive period and it was looking like the MOMO Porsche was the car to beat at the end. Unfortunately the gods of racing were not with the #30 NGT Motorsport team and its drivers tonight and at 7:00 PM, three and a half hours before the end of the race, the MOMO car was involved in an accident that ended its chance of winning this historic event.

Henrique Cisneros was driving the car at the time in second place in the GTC class and was well on his way to another great stint until he approached turn 13. Suddenly the throttle cable got stuck and Henrique went straight into the tire wall.
