Silverstone

News release, April 20, 2020

The second virtual round of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup was marked by spectacular duels between Ayhancan Güven and Larry ten Voorde!

Starting from pole position, Güven won the first 25-minute race at Silverstone. In the Pro-Am category, Clément Mateu finished second. In Race 2, while in the lead, Güven was forced to overtake a stalled opponent in the final lap. This gave ten Voorde a golden opportunity to seize first position and win the second race of the round. Marvin Klein finished third in the Rookie category. Also noteworthy, official driver and godfather of the PCCF Patrick Pilet finished 13th in Race 1 and 10th in Race 2 for his first stint in e-racing. Güven and ten Voorde share the top spot in the overall standings with 90 points each.

Rendez-vous on 25 April 2020 at the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit for the third virtual round of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.

We regret to inform you the round of the 2020 Porsche Carrera Cup France scheduled at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit on 23-25 April has been postponed to a later as-yet undetermined date. The decision was made in an effort to comply with COVID-19 directives, which also led us to cancel the Barcelona races last weekend.

Until then, take care of yourself and your loved ones.

An exceptional 2020 field

News release, March 11, 2020

With 30 entrants, the presence of top-notch teams and the arrival of international headliners, the 2020 PCCF season promises battles in every category.

Two-time PCCF champion Ayhancan Güven (Martinet by Alméras) is looking to secure a third consecutive championship title. To make his goal a reality, a feat not achieved since Dominique Dupuy (between 1997 and 1999), the Turkish driver will have to overcome tough competition, led in particular by teammate Hugo Chevalier, who finished third last year.

But the opposition will also come from foreign teams (BWT Lechner Racing, Dinamic Motorsport, Fach Auto, Tsunami RT and Ombra Racing) and famous drivers out in full force, including 23-year-old New Zealander and Junior Porsche driver Jaxon Evans, 20-year-old Australian Jordan Love who succeeded him as winner of the Australian Porsche Carrera Cup in 2019 and Gianmarco Quaresmini, winner of the 2018 Porsche Carrera Cup Italy.

However, several young Frenchmen are determined to prove the potential demonstrated at the wheel of the 911 GT3 Cup, including 2019 Rookie runner-up Marvin Klein, Victor Blugeon and 2019 Junior PCCF winner Adam Eteki. The latter will spearhead the CLRT team, newly created by Côme Ledogar, himself a previous Cup winner (2014). The young outfit is determined to take on top contender IMSA Performance returning this year, Racing Technology and Sébastien Loeb Racing with Evan Spenle, a newcomer to the team from single-seaters, and Ugo Gazil and Victor Weyrich, the 2020 Espoir Porsche Carrera Cup France winner.

Sébastien Loeb Racing will also see Christophe Lapierre attempt to win a sixth Pro-Am crown against his toughest opponent, two-time category winner Nicolas Misslin. Stéphane Denoual, Philipp Sager, Clément Mateu and Sylvain Noël, back in the championship, are all looking to shake up the action, as is 2019 Am champion Jérôme Boullery. Created last year, this category has welcomed an increasing number of entrants, among them newcomers Tugdual Rabreau, Maxence Maurice and Mathieu Blaise.

The 2020 Porsche Carrera Cup France season will kick off in Barcelona on 2-5 April in the framework of the ELMS!
