2016 PORSCHE 911 GT3 CUP fuel

| 19
International One-Make-Series.
Like their German equivalent, these series
in many countries provide support races
for prestigious highlights of the
motorsports calendar, including the BTCC
and the FIA WEC. Races are held on
almost every weekend of the motorsports
season. The passion to win fuels the fight
for every hundredth of a second: young
upstarts challenge old hands, while
amateurs compete with professionals.
Encounters that promise sheer racing
excitement.
From the fastest One-Make-Series in
Germany to the top international event.
Since the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany
was held for the first time back in 1990,
a number of international spin- offs would
soon establish themselves. Today, the
drivers and teams compete against each
other with their Porsche 911 GT3 Cup in
29 countries across five continents: from
Brazil to China, from Australia to Finland,
and from the Middle East to North
America. Those who make it here can fight their
way to the very top. The same
philosophy applies: equal opportunities for
every competitor. This is guaranteed by
uniform rules and technically identical
Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars. Only the
vehicle setup is allowed to be determined
by the teams themselves. In true keeping
with the motto ‘May the best man win’.

As a result, the power to tip the balance
rests solely in the hands of the drivers
and teams.
