27/10/08 - Moyers tests Carrera Cup Porsche with Team Parker Racing

Michael Moyers joined leading Carrera Cup outfit Team Parker Racing for a test at Silverstone last
week. Following his decision to switch to sportscar racing from single seaters, Moyers has set up a
series of winter tests as he decides which championship to enter in 2009.

In perfect conditions on Thursday, Moyers got his first taste of the power of a Porsche Carrera Cup
car - and loved every second of it. After stepping out of the car at the end of the test, Michael said:
“ this was the first time I had tested a rear wheel sportscar, so I had a lot to learn.” He added: “I
immediately felt at home in the car but having 430bhp under my right foot I knew I had to tread
carefully to begin with. My first stint went well and was just about adapting to the power, brakes and
handling. The second stint I pushed a bit harder and felt I got a better feel for the car, making some
real progress. And in the final stint I managed to improve my fastest lap time to finish on a positive.”

Team Boss Stuart Parker was equally impressed, commenting: “Considering Michael has not driven
in anger for a while he adapted to the Porsche very quickly in the short session in which he was
driving. I am sure with more time in the car he would only get stronger." Michael added: “I really
enjoyed my test with Team Parker Racing. They are a very successful team and I knew I would have
a good car underneath me; it was a great drive and I felt really confident in its capabilities. A big
thank you to all at Team Parker Racing for providing me with this opportunity.”
