As the 2025 season of the Porsche Carrera Cup France dawns, 20 drivers are preparing to take the start of a 35th edition that promises to be more fiercely contested than ever. From Barcelona to Le Castellet, passing through the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit, the dynamic Dijon-Prenois track, and the unique layouts of Misano-Adriatico and Valencia, the battle is already shaping up to be intense.
After two seasons in which Schumacher CLRT swept the Drivers’, Rookies’, and Teams’ titles, all eyes will naturally be on Côme Ledogar’s team. With Louis Perrot, 3rd overall in 2024, Marcus Amand, 2024 Rookie champion, and the two rookies Chester Kieffer and Karen Gaillard, the 2025 Porsche Carrera Cup France Junior, there will be plenty of opportunities to dominate the standings.
But many others are eager to claim the title, and each team has a card to play. Vice-champion in 2024, Mathys Jaubert (Martinet by Alméras) will be a strong favorite and will aim for his first crown despite missing the first round. He will be replaced by Theo Oeverhaus (2025 Porsche Motorsport Junior). Over at TFT Racing, ambitions are high and clearly stated. With a duo of Keagan Masters and Benjamin Paque, the Gers-based team will be aiming for the top of the standings. The South African, last year’s Porsche Carrera Cup Italy champion, could achieve an unprecedented double, while the Belgian, Rookie champion in 2023, will be targeting the overall title.
Regular title contenders in the gentlemen drivers’ categories, ABM and Racing Technology will also be aiming high in 2025, with three Pro drivers for the Haute-Savoie-based team and one Pro driver for Sylvain Noël’s squad. Marvin Klein (Champion 2021 & 2022) and Paul Cauhaupé (2024 Porsche Carrera Cup France Junior) will support Mathys Cappuccio and be ABM’s key contenders. Meanwhile, Joran Leneutre will defend Racing Technology’s colors. Team Debard Automobiles by Racetivity, a newcomer in 2024, is strengthening its lineup with the return of Hugo Chevalier (2018 PCCF Junior). EST1, the new Estonian team in 2025, will field Alexander Reimann, a driver to watch for his PCCF debut.
While the overall category will be highly competitive, the other rankings are just as intense. In the Rookie category, five newcomers to the Porsche Carrera Cup France, including three from the Junior Programme, will try to succeed Marcus Amand. Karen Gaillard (Schumacher CLRT), Joran Leneutre (Racing Technology), and the very young but highly promising Mathys Cappuccio (ABM) will aim to stand out in a category that leaves little room for mistakes. Luxembourg’s Chester Kieffer (Schumacher CLRT), transitioning from French F4, and Andorra’s Enzo Joulié (Martinet by Alméras), the 2023 GT4 France champion, will undoubtedly make life difficult for them.
Among the gentlemen drivers, predicting the outcome in both categories is nearly impossible. With a trio of champions in the Pro-Am class—Marc Guillot (ABM, 2024 Pro-Am Champion), Jérôme Boullery (Racing Technology, 2022 & 2023 Pro-Am Champion), and Cyril Caillo (Racing Technology, 2024 Am Champion) battles will be fierce throughout a season where every result will count towards the final standings.
Finally, in the Am category, three drivers will be vying for the title: Jean-Philippe Gambaro (ABM), Eric Debard (Debard Automobiles by Racetivity), and Jordan Boisson (TFT Racing). These three men, who engaged in numerous duels last season, will be back on track with the title now within their grasp.
A 35th edition that promises to be just as unpredictable as it is thrilling, with plenty of twists and turns expected until the season finale at Circuit Paul Ricard in October 2025..
