In compliance with the motorsport recovery plan presented by the FFSA, as well as governmental directives, the Porsche Carrera Cup France reveals its new calendar of five rounds (10 races), including the opening race of the 24 Hours of Le Mans (17-19 September).
With an eye on the evolution of the global health crisis, the Porsche Carrera Cup France is now able to announce a calendar focused on contributing to the economic revival needed by motorsport participants. The organisation has succeeded in designing a programme that guarantees to excite racing fans, with five rounds for a total of 10 races scheduled between mid-September and early November. The calendar promises an ideal balance between top French circuits and prestigious international destinations.
The Porsche Carrera Cup France drivers will launch the season with two races at Magny-Cours (11-13 September) as part of the FFSA French Circuits Championship. The following round, the run-up to the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans (September 17-19), is sure to be a highlight of the year as always. Then competitors will return to the FFSA French Circuits Championship at the Paul Ricard circuit (2-4 October) for three races and plenty of breathtaking confrontations!
The end of the season will see the 911 GT3 Cup cars cross the border of France, with a first stopover in Belgium at the mythical Spa-Francorchamps track (16-18 October) for two races integrated into the International GT Open. The Barcelona circuit (October 30-November 1), which should have hosted the opening round, will serve as the site of the final races of the 2020 Porsche Carrera Cup France season.
