Nearly thirty entries in the Porsche Carrera Cup France

With a five-star calendar, which will notably see it make a stopover at the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the centenary of the event, and a proven recipe based on sporting fairness and guaranteed pleasure, the Porsche Carrera Cup France continues to cause a sensation. This is demonstrated by the twenty-seven Porsche 911 GT3 Cup Type 992, which will meet on March 30 at Magny-Cours for the traditional pre-season tests.

Les ingrédients sont connus : une monture, la Porsche 911 GT3 Cup Type 992, à nulle autre pareille en termes de sensations de pilotage, des circuits qui permettent de jouir de tout son potentiel et un encadrement à la fois rigoureux et convivial. La Porsche Carrera Cup France confirme son succès et sa faculté à se renouveler, sans jamais renier ses principes fondateurs. Ils seront ainsi onze Pro, dont quatre Rookies, huit Pro-Am et huit Am à s’affronter en piste cette année, avec pas moins de cinq nationalités différentes représentées.

As for the Teams, while some will make their entry into the championship (Team Clairet Sport, F4 Events Motorsport, Herrero Racing), others will sign their return (Porsche Lorient, Speed ​​Lover, Tsunami RT). Enough to shake up the most faithful of the series (Martinet by Alméras, Racing Technology, ABM, CLRT, IMSA LS Group Performance, TFT Racing).

However, a game of musical chairs occurred during the off-season and has the merit of redistributing the cards somewhat. Marvin Klein, the outgoing double champion, will indeed attempt the pass of three, but this time under the colors of TFT Racing, while Dorian Boccolacci, his toughest opponent of the last two seasons, will be in the colors of Team CLRT. Within the top three of last season, Alessandro Ghiretti (Martinet by Alméras), Junior Porsche Carrera Cup France 2021, has not changed formation and will try to shake up the existing hierarchy. Just like Louis Perrot, who now wears the colors of Imsa LS Group Performance, while Victor Blugeon remains faithful to the Savoyard ABM structure. The Junior Porsche Carrera Cup France 2023, Mathys Jaubert, will have the opportunity to learn alongside Marvin Klein at TFT Racing.

In Pro-Am, Jérôme Boullery (Racing Technology) puts his title back on the line, but will undoubtedly have a lot to do, with the return of Christophe Stone (Martinet by Alméras), the presence of Maxence Maurice (Imsa LS Group Performance) or even the arrival of the 2022 Am category champion:  Sébastien Dussolliet (ABM). An Am category that will also need to be closely monitored, where Sébastien Poisson (ABM) will want to confirm the great promises of last season, facing a host of newcomers, as well as a returnee in the person of Christian Jaquillard (Racing Technology).

The 2023 vintage therefore promises once again to be particularly thrilling and competitive, throughout the six meetings and eleven races planned. The opening meeting, played in Barcelona (April 21-23) as part of theELMS, will deliver a first verdict. This will be followed by a stopover at Magny-Cours (May 5-7), for a second double confrontation, before the big meeting of the season, as part of the centenary of 24 Hours of Le Mans (June 8-10), the year of Porsche's return to the premier category ofEndurance and the 75 years of the brand. In association with the Porsche Carrera Cup Scandinavia, Porsche France offers its drivers one of the most prestigious playgrounds in the world, with no less than 71 flat-sixes which will roar in Sarthe during this unique race. . After the summer break, the rest of the season will be just as exciting, with the discovery of the circuit of Red Bull Ring (September 8-10), in Austria and the return to the Italian temple of speed of Monza (September 22-24), before the traditional Paul-Ricard final (October 6-8) as a climax.
