SERIES INTRODUCTION
Introduction
With the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia firmly established as Asia’s premier one-make sports car racing series, 2024 sees a formidable international field of brilliant professionals competing wheel-to-wheel with dedicated privateers. A proven testing ground for fledgling talent and a showcase for the world’s leading GT competitors, today the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia is the number one choice for the region’s finest drivers.
Over the past 20 years, the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia has become renowned as a series that ignites passion and enthusiasm for motorsport across the region. Each of this year’s entries will pilot an identical Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (Type 992). This impressive machine represents the latest generation of Porsche’s iconic race car, bringing faster lap times, slicker technology and improved control.
The season continues to welcome fresh faces. A total of 26 top drivers will compete in the 2024 season, with a balanced mix of Pro, Pro-Am and Am racers creating a multi-level competition among the region’s most talented contestants. Also returning in 2024 is the Porsche Dealer Trophy, which will see series’ dealer teams compete head-to-head as they are awarded points based on the top performing dealer team driver.
Since its launch in 2003, the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia has become the region’s premier one-make racing series. With over 20 years on the track, this thrilling one-make series will take you from passionate amateur to racing superstar, bringing together the world’s top GT professionals – as well as private Porsche racing enthusiasts – to compete on the most challenging circuits across Asia. The Porsche Carrera Cup Asia embodies Porsche’s motorsport tradition and spirit of champions, and is widely regarded as the premier platform in Asia to launch an international racing career.
In 2025 the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia returns for its 22nd season. As Asia’s longest-running and premier one-make series, the Carrera Cup Asia has been setting the standards in terms of on-the-track action and off-the-track hospitality since our first ever races back in 2003. The calendar for 2025 features an unmissable line-up of Asia’s best circuits and biggest motorsport events, including two new-to-the-series venues with races at Mobility Resort Motegi in Japan and on the shores of exotic Lombok in Indonesia, two thrilling street races, two special Endurance Cup events, and two F1 support races, with the season opening at the F1 China Grand Prix in Shanghai, and closing out in style at the F1 Singapore Grand Prix in Marina Bay.
Services
Impeccable services of the highest standards are centrally managed and provided to all teams and drivers, including:
• Transportation of cars, parts and tools from race to race
• Centrally-managed parts, meaning teams do not need to invest in inventory
• Superb track hospitality at each race
• Accommodation and transfer packages
• Pit set-up and equipment
Arrive and Drive Option
While individual teams are welcome, competitors have the option of availing themselves of the unique ‘Arrive and Drive’ concept, which provides drivers with professional support services of the highest calibre.
The Technical Service Package includes highly-trained mechanics and supervisors at each race to service and maintain the car, a pre-season check and pre-event service, pit set-up at each event, and packing, loading and unloading of containers.
This option, provided by professional partner EKS Motorsports, represents savings in both time and expense and means drivers need simply to arrive at the track where the fully-prepared cars await them, making for an exciting and hassle-free race weekend.
Pro-Am Class
Privateer drivers who believe the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia is the exclusive domain of full-time professionals could not be more mistaken. The creation of the Pro-Am Class within the series, designed specifically for those very drivers, affords the opportunity to race against the professionals – a unique chance to learn from the best in the business.
Am Class
As the quality of the Carrera Cup Asia’s dedicated privateers has consistently risen year-on-year, it has become necessary to introduce a new class in order to keep every spot in the race competitive. The Porsche Carrera Cup Asia introduced the Am class in 2021, and it has returned every season since with its own podiums, points tables and prizes.
Porsche Dealer Trophy
In 2025, the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia will continue the Porsche Dealer Trophy, which gives dealer teams a chance to compete as they are awarded points each round based on the best performing dealer driver. With huge success in 2024, the trophy further solidifies the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia as one of the most inclusive, exciting racing series in Asia.
Drivers are welcome
With a truly international field, competitors come from as far afield as Europe and Australia, and as close to home as China, to test their racing mettle in the series. Both young and young-at-heart compete wheel-to-wheel each season, and the friendly off-track camaraderie has become a signature of the championship.
