Only five weeks left until we see the Porsche Sprint Challenge France returns, opening the famous weekend of 24 Hours of Le Mans 2022. Around a hundred gentlemen drivers will take the wheel of Porsche GT3 Cup and Porsche Cayman GT4, of which there will be 71 precisely.

26 teams present at Le Mans

If more than seventy cars will be on track on the Le Mans circuit, at the opening of the 24 Hours, nearly 26 teams will compete in two 45-minute races. If French, Belgian or German teams will be present, a Malaysian team has also lined up for the event. The French teams – we are talking about France – will still be represented in large numbers, with more than half of the cars on the grid (40).

Competitors in the Porsche Sprint Challenge France will therefore compete in two 45-minute races preceded by two free practice sessions and two qualifying sessions. The paddock will be installed on the Maison Blanche circuit, a few kilometers from the Le Mans track, in the immediate vicinity of the Porsche Experience Center which will be reserved for drivers and their guests from Tuesday to Friday.
