Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain

Porsche Carrera Cup GB continues to be an unmissable highlight of every true motorsport enthusiast.

Former success stories include drivers such as Charlie Eastwood, Richard Westbrook, and Michael Meadows. All used their accomplishments as Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain champions to fuel their careers as professional GT racers.

Runner-up in the 2012 Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain, Ben Barker competed in a Porsche 911 RSR in the FIA World Endurance Championship. Whilst Dan Harper, the 2018/2019 Porsche Junior champion achieved enviable success as a factory driver for the BMW Junior Team, recently graduating as an official BMW works driver.

Others have made the move into British Touring Car Championship (BTCC), including triple champion Dan Cammish, Sam Tordoff, Tom Oliphant, and Ollie Jackson. Nicholas Latifi, who competed in the 2015 Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain season, reached the pinnacle of motorsport in 2020 as a driver for the Formula 1® Championship Team, Williams Racing.

Several other former champions have gone onto compete in rounds of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, including Josh Webster, who won the Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain in 2014.

Joining Josh are 2018 champion Tio Ellinas, 2018 Rookie champion George Gamble, Pro-Am category champion Seb Perez and Dan Harper, the 2018/2019 Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain Junior Driver, the youngest ever Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain champion.

The latest name to join these Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup alumnus, is, Harry King the 2020/2021 PCCGB Junior. In 2022, Harry became a Supercup podium finisher, whilst also achieving glory at the championship in Porsche Carrera Cup Benelux.

These drivers and their impressive achievements are further testament to why Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain attracts the highest calibre of skill and proves how the Porsche brand continues to invest in drivers and teams in 2024.

Welcome to the 2025 championship, another action-packed season.

Our vision is to create the perfect race car and the 911 GT3 Cup (Type-992) for the 2023 season is a step closer to achieving this. The car is faster, more durable, more efficient and even safer than its predecessors. It is quite simply a pure-bred race car and a precision instrument for the racetrack.

Developed from scratch, the engine offers even greater power output than the previous model. The four-litre six-cylinder boxer engine delivers up to 510 hp at 8,400 rpm and 470 Nm at 6,150 rpm. Drive force is transmitted to the rear axle by a racing clutch and a Porsche six-speed sequential transmission and limited slip differential.

In addition, a key benefit of this new drive system is that the engine and gearbox run times have been doubled before they require their first rebuild since the last generation with 100 hours engine runtime and 120 hours gearbox runtime, thereby significantly reducing operating costs.

2022 celebrated the sale of its 5000th 911 GT3 Cup worldwide, it is still the number one sports racing car among motorsports teams and drivers. It competes in prestigious racing events around the world including GT racing series and endurance races. Delivering incredible performance, it is also the most equal car in motorsport, clearly demonstrating individual driver skill and nerve.

If you’re an ambitious racing driver looking for the opportunity to excel and further your name, the Porsche Motorsport Pyramid delivers everything you’re looking for and more.

Firstly, Porsche Club GB racing and Porsche Classic Boxster Cup offers you an entry level prior to Porsche Sprint Challenge GB, Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain, and Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. Thereafter, you could find yourself competing at World Championship GT level, Formula E and beyond. Nick Tandy, the first driver to win Le Mans in a Porsche since Allan McNish in 1998, is testament to the Porsche Motorsport Pyramid. He drove his way to the top of the pyramid after making his debut at Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain in 2008.

Three years later, Nick won the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland and took the Porsche Cup award the following year as the best private Porsche driver worldwide in a 911. In 2015, this success enabled Nick to take a seat in the 3rd entry of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the most gruelling motor race in the world. It was another win and from there he secured first place in the 2018 24 Hours of Nürburgring for Porsche in a works 911 GT3 R, and it didn’t stop there. In 2019 and 2020, Nick went on to compete at the very highest level of American Sports Car racing in a Porsche RSR. Nick returns to the Porsche family in 2023 as a factory works driver, driving the LMDh 963 Hybrid.
