| by Zlatko Vodenicharov

Emma Raducanu is a rising star in the world of professional tennis, and she has already made a name for herself on the court, and now she is taking her talents to the track as a Porsche ambassador.

Recently, Raducanu had the opportunity to test her driving skills behind the wheel of a Porsche 911 GT3 at the legendary Brands Hatch circuit in the UK. The 911 GT3 is a high-performance sports car that is well-known for its agile handling and powerful engine, making it the perfect vehicle for Raducanu to push her limits on the track.

Despite her impressive skills on the court, Raducanu was still a bit nervous as she prepared to take on the challenging Brands Hatch circuit. However, she quickly found her footing behind the wheel of the 911 GT3, also thanks to her instructor.

“As Brands Hatch is my local track, I visited with my dad many times when I was younger and always enjoyed watching the races, particularly with the Porsches,” said Emma. “It was great to see behind the scenes at the Carrera Cup GB earlier this year, but even then, I only saw the racing from the grandstands. So it was exciting to lap the circuit at speed today, and a real treat to try the 911 GT3.”

“I loved driving the 911 GT3, it was so much fun to drive, and I learned a lot about the testing and practice that helps build the skills of a champion driver,” said Emma afterwards. “It was amazing to add to my memories of being a spectator here and now be driving myself. I much prefer being this side of the fence!”

“Having visited the Porsche Experience Centre Silverstone, driving at Brands Hatch is another highlight of my year. It has been interesting to meet drivers like Adam, and Mark in the summer, and learn how their human performance and preparation is adapted to the track versus mine on the tennis court.”
