Porsche revealed today it will be creating a one-make class specifically for variants of the Cayman GT4 Clubsport at this year's Pikes Peak International Hillclimb. If you're planning on entering your GT4-sorry, this class is invite-only.

Eligible cars for the time attack division class included the normal GT4 Clubsport, the IMSA-spec GS class Clubsport, and the international-spec Clubsport MR. There are eight spots available, and chances are that if you haven't received an invite, you won't be filling one of them.

Porsche Motorsport North America will provide on-site race support throughout the weekend, while Yokohama will be present to supply tire technical support. Eight-time Pikes Peak winner Jeff Zwart will be on-hand as a driver coach for class participants. Romain Dumas, driver of Volkswagen's new all-electric prototype hillclimb car, will also be present to help out drivers-though we assume he'll be busy focusing on his own drive most of the weekend.
