Porsche Supercup celebrates its champions and gears up for the 2025 season
The Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup has honoured the winners of the 2024 season at an award ceremony in the stadium of Bundesliga football club VfB Stuttgart. Larry ten Voorde won the international one-make cup for the third time. The Dutchman and his colleagues, fellow countryman Marvin Klein and Porsche Junior Alessandro Ghiretti from France, secured the team title for Schumacher CLRT with a total of seven race wins. The duel for the Rookie title saw Robert de Haan from the BWT Lechner Racing team emerge victorious only during the last lap of the season finale. In 2025, the teams will once again contest eight races with the ca. 375 kW (510 PS) Porsche 911 GT3 Cup as part of the European Grand Prix support programme.
The Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup season turned out to be a year of duels. Dutchman Larry ten Voorde from the Schumacher CLRT squad prevailed in the drivers’ standings against Englishman Harry King (BWT Lechner Racing). The duel amongst the rookies was a nailbiter: A collision caused by a rival on the last lap of the final race in Monza threw Kas Haverkort (Uniserver by Team GP Elite) out of the race, forcing a concession to his Dutch compatriot Robert de Haan driving for BWT Lechner Racing. With a commanding performance, the newly formed Schumacher CLRT team from France beat the Austrian title defenders BWT Lechner Racing in the Team classification.
“The 32nd season of the Porsche Supercup once again provided fans with great entertainment and countless thrilling battles for position. Our eight races as part of Formula 1 were an excellent endorsement for Porsche one-make cups, to which every team contributed with a high level of professionalism. I’d like to congratulate Larry ten Voorde, Robert de Haan and Schumacher CLRT on their titles. I’d also like to extend my gratitude to all the drivers, the teams, our partners and the entire Supercup team for another successful year,” summarised Oliver Schwab, Project Manager Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.
The Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup contested eight races in 2024 as part of the Emilia-Romagna, Monaco, Austrian, British, Hungarian, Belgian, Dutch and Italian Grand Prix. 56 racing drivers from 17 nations took the wheel of the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. The Netherlands provided the largest contingent with twelve permanently registered participants and guest drivers, beating Italy (10) and Great Britain (8). Guest entrants from the USA, Brazil and Colombia travelled the longest distance to compete.
Flagship project in the Supercup: eFuels with partner HIF Global
2024 marked the first year of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup running exclusively on predominantly fully synthetic eFuels. The raw fuel comes from the Haru Oni pilot plant in Chile, which is operated by HIF Global. This raw fuel is readied for use through a process known as blending. The final product enables the 911 GT3 Cup cars to potentially run almost CO2-neutrally.
Former Ex-Formula 1 driver Timo Glock as guest starter
Ex-Formula 1 driver Timo Glock lined up on the grid at the Supercup race at the Red-Bull-Ring in Austria at the wheel of the Supercup’s VIP nine-eleven. The German driver, who now covers Grand Prix racing as a commentator for the Sky TV channel, crossed the finish line in eighteenth after receiving a time penalty.
Global media presence
More than two dozen TV stations broadcast the eight races of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup 2024 live or as on-demand recordings in over 100 countries spanning across Europe, North and South America, Asia, Australia and Africa. Additional live images and information were provided by the official Formula 1 streaming channel (f1tv.formula1.com). In addition, the Porsche Motorsport Hub (motorsports.porsche.com) provided fans with background reports, interviews, portraits and live timing of free practice sessions, qualifying sessions and races.
