A prestigious calendar for the Porsche Carrera Cup France 2021
A mix of must-see tricolour circuits and prestigious international destinations, the Porsche Carrera Cup France 2021 calendar features twelve races from the beginning of May to the end of October. The year 2021 will be the year of change for the Porsche Carrera Cup France, with the entry into the competition of the new generation of the Cup: the 911 GT3 Cup type 992.
And to showcase Porsche's most popular racing cars, the calendar is still among the most attractive in the field of one-design circuit disciplines. Especially since it was also thought not to suffer from date clashes with the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup and thus allow drivers and teams loyal to the Zuffenhausen brand to line up on different terrains. Judge instead: after the traditional official pre-season practice session, which will take place this year in Magny-Cours (07.04 -08.04), six events of two races each will follow each other, two in France, especially on the circuit used by F1 in recent years, and four on the most beautiful European tracks.
The season will thus open at the beginning of May in Magny-Cours (07.05 - 09.05) during the French FFSA Circuit Championship, before taking the direction of the inescapable Paul Ricard (14.05 -16.05), this time as part of the Open GT. As in 2020, the 911 GT3 Cup peloton will then return to the legendary Spa-Francorchamps route (18.06 - 20.06) or slide of the Ardennes, again as part of the Open GT, for an event always very popular because of the history of the circuit and its very demanding hilly profile.
Monza's programming (09.07 - 11.07), in the ranks of the ELMS, will certainly be another long-awaited event as the so-called "temple of speed" makes entire generations of pilots dream. The end of the season will finally see the Porsche Carrera Cup France stop in Spain and then Portugal, for two meetings respectively integrated into the GT World Challenge Europe and then the ELMS. If Barcelona (08.10 - 10.10) is now among the reference circuits of the one-design formula dear to Porsche France, Portimao (22.10 - 24.10) makes its first entry on the calendar and already promises a final of beauty, with its many blind turns. With such an enticing program, so fast next season, for new high-flying confrontations within the Porsche Carrera Cup France!
