The Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland is a German one-make cup racing series from Porsche . Uniform racing cars based on the Porsche 911 are used in the championship, which has been held since 1990 .

Most of the racing events are held together as part of the supporting program of other racing series, such as the DTM and, since 2016, the ADAC GT Masters .

In addition to the German one-make cup, the Carrera Cup is also held internationally in other countries and regions, such as B. Asia, Australia, Brazil, France, Great Britain, Italy, Japan and Scandinavia.

history

With the Carrera Cup, Porsche founded its second brand racing series in Germany in 1990. Before that, Porsche had already organized a brand championship with the Porsche 944 Turbo Cup from 1986 to 1989 .

As in the previous racing series, the Porsche Carrera Cup aims to offer a racing series in which professionals, amateurs and young drivers compete against each other under the same technical conditions.

When it was founded, only the driver's title was initially awarded. From the 1997 season, the team classification was added. In 2012 the regulations were comprehensively changed and the special ratings for amateurs and rookies were introduced. Professional and young riders started in the A-classification and the amateurs in the B-classification. With the 2017 season, the A-rating was replaced by the overall rating.

In the championship, prize money is awarded to the drivers and teams. The amount differs based on the rating and placement in the race or in the championship placement. In 2019, prize money and material prizes totaling over EUR 550,000 were awarded.

Regulations

The Porsche Carrera Cup is subject to the sporting and technical regulations of the DMSB . All registered drivers must have at least an international license C or higher in order to be allowed to start in the series.

For each completed race, classified drivers receive points which are counted towards the championship ranking. A team's driver points are counted towards the team rating.

distance traveled	awarded points
from 75%	100%
from 50%	50%
less than 50%	no

If the race is stopped prematurely, depending on the distance covered, only half the number of points or no points will be awarded (see table).

All drivers use technically identical racing cars that are approved for the respective racing season. The vehicles are produced by Porsche and comply with the technical regulations of the FIA (Appendix J) and the DMSB. There are control tires from Michelin mandatory for all participants.

Compliance with the technical specifications is monitored by technical inspectors before the race during acceptance and through random checks after the race.

Venues and race schedule

The races are usually held together with other racing series. When it was founded, races were held parallel to the German Touring Car Championship until its dissolution in 1996 in Germany and other European countries. From 2000 the racing events were held with the newly founded German Touring Car Masters or DTM. Since 2016, the Carrera Cup racing calendar has been made up of races together with the DTM and the ADAC GT Masters . The races take place in Germany and in neighboring countries such as B. Austria, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic.

From 1990 to 2011, one race was driven on a racing weekend. The racing season included nine to ten events. Since 2012, two races have been held on one weekend, so that the number of races has increased to up to 18.

On a race weekend, the 60-minute free practice takes place every Friday. Qualifying on Saturday is over 35 minutes. A sprint race over 30 minutes each takes place on Saturday and Sunday.

Point system

In the overall ranking, the following number of points will be awarded to the first 15 classified drivers. Guest starters are not entitled to points. The following classified drivers move up according to the points awarded:

space	1.	2.	3.	4th	5.	6th	7th	8th.	9.	10.	11.	12.	13.	14th	15th

A 911 GT3 Cup Type 997 2006 in racing

Since its inception, the Porsche Carrera Cup has only used racing cars based on the Porsche 911. The racing cars are developed based on the current production model.

This includes the construction of the body with lightweight materials and components for weight reduction (such as thin glass, aluminum and CFRP parts) and increasing the driving pressure (such as front and rear wings, underbody paneling), installation of a safety cage , motorsport seat and 6-point belt for Protection of the driver, installation of a safety tank and a fire extinguishing system, installation of a motorsport chassis with which the vehicle height, spring and driving properties can be individually adjusted, as well as an engine that is more powerful or more stable than the series model.

Since 1998 all cars built for this racing series have been marketed as the 911 GT3 Cup .
