GT sport.
GT cars are pure bred racing cars.
They must be based on road registered
sports cars and modifications are
restricted to specific areas.
In the early 1990s, Porsche was the
driving force behind the renaissance
of international GT motorsport. In the
meantime, Porsche has established
successful cooperation with customer
teams. Porsche supplies the race ready
cars and supports private teams with
further development, technical services
and the provision of factory drivers.
Porsche Carrera Cups.
From its beginnings as the fastest one
make championship in Germany, the
Porsche Carrera Cup has evolved into
a top class international event. Porsche
Carrera Cup championships are now
held in various countries throughout the
world, supporting prestigious race
meetings such as the DTM and, most
recently, the 24 Hours Nürburgring.
Alongside the Porsche Carrera Cup
Germany, first held over 20 years ago
in 1990, there are now a further
seven
Porsche Carrera Cup championships
in
France, Great Britain, Scandinavia, Italy,
Japan, Asia and Australia. With races
taking place on virtually every weekend
in the motorsport calendar, these events
are witness to some impassioned close
quarters racing action where young guns
challenge seasoned campaigners, ama
teurs lock horns with professionals and
rookies go head to head with customer
drivers.
Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.
The Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup is the
most prestigious of the one make cham
pionships. Since 1993, it has been run
