PRICE COBB WINS THE PORSCHE CUP USA

Price Cobb from Evergreen in Colorado did the hat trick: for the third time, the 33-year-old won the coveted $ 140,000 Porsche Cup North America. This puts him in a row with Bob Wollek, who was the only one who managed to win the international trophy three times in a row.

Thanks to consistently good performances over a long season, Cobb had worked out a 50 point lead and thus secured the $ 30,000 victory bonus. Already in the middle of the season there were signs that the 33-year-old is again the driver over whom the victory in the Porsche Cup USA leads. By halfway through, he had collected IMSA points in six of the seven races for the American sports car championship with the Dyson Porsche 962, and he won the Miami Grand Prix together with his team partner James Weaver. Price Cobb drove for Rob Dyson's team for the fourth year in 1988.

Price Cobb also demonstrated reliability and precise driving style in the second half of the season, in which he continuously scored points and worked hard for a victory at the San Antonio Grand Prix. The reward for this good performance is third place in the IMSA-GTP drivers' classification and winning the Porsche Cup, which is now finally in his possession.
