In a world of Porsche 911 racing, most people are interested in Porsche Mobile 1 Supercup or Porsches endurance racing in European and American LeMans series, but there is one championship with equal amount of interesting races and action and best of all it is on Porsche native country – Germany. That is the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany, championship which is around for almost 30 years.

You are right if you think that Carrera Cup Germany and Mobile 1 Supercup are basiclly the same series. They use the same cars (Porsche 991 Racing), they share some racing tracks and the drivers who race in both series. However, organization of race events is different and Carrera Cup Germany uses some of less know circuits in Germany,Austria and Hungary. Carrera Cup Germany season is consisted of 9 racing events with two races each, which means that the racers in this series have 18 races per season and that means more on track fighting and racing battles. The Carrera Cup Germany is divided in two classes with A Class being professional drives and B Class being amateur gentleman racers.
