Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup
Porsche one-make
championships.
At present, there are eight
Porsche Carrera Cup champion-
ships worldwide – with races
in 15 countries, from Australia
to France – and the fastest
manufacturer’s cup in the world:
the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.
The philosophy behind this
series is equal opportunity. It’s the
performance of the drivers and
teams that counts – which is why
they all compete in technically
identical vehicles. This results in
tough and exciting competition
at the highest level.
With 911 GT3 Cup vehicles –
based on the standard production
911 GT3 but with a 420 hp output
and a top speed of 285 km /h
(177 mph) – sprints lasting
30 – 40 minutes are held as part
of leading international race
events.
At all Carrera Cup events, Porsche
supplies race-prepared cars,
organises the events and provides
trackside support for the drivers,
teams and sponsors.
Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.
The Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup is
the world’s fastest international

1993, it has been held exclusively
as part of the supporting pro-
gramme of the FIA Formula One
World Championship. In addition
to European Grand Prix races,
the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup
also accompanies F1 to Bahrain
and Turkey.
