SERIES INTRODUCTION

Introduction

Since its launch in 2003, the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia has become the region’s premier one-make racing series. With over 20 years on the track, this thrilling one-make series will take you from passionate amateur to racing superstar, bringing together the world’s top GT professionals – as well as private Porsche racing enthusiasts – to compete on the most challenging circuits across Asia. The Porsche Carrera Cup Asia embodies Porsche’s motorsport tradition and spirit of champions, and is widely regarded as the premier platform in Asia to launch an international racing career.

In 2026, a new chapter begins for the Porsche ARbox Carrera Cup Asia. Marking its 23rd season, the series ushers in a new era with the 911 Cup – making it one of the first Porsche one-make series worldwide to feature the latest generation Cup car. The 2026 calendar celebrates both progress and heritage, as the iconic Zhuhai International Circuit and Fuji Speedway return to the roster. Across 13 action-packed rounds, the season will once again open under the spotlight of the F1 Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai, bring the excitement of street racing, endurance racing, and night racing, and conclude in spectacular fashion at the F1 Singapore Grand Prix in Marina Bay.

Impeccable services of the highest standards are centrally managed and provided to all teams and drivers, including:

• Superb track hospitality at each race

Arrive and Drive Option

While individual teams are welcome, competitors have the option of availing themselves of the unique ‘Arrive and Drive’ concept, which provides drivers with professional support services of the highest calibre.

The Technical Service Package includes highly-trained mechanics and supervisors at each race to service and maintain the car, a pre-season check and pre-event service, pit set-up at each event, and packing, loading and unloading of containers.

This option, provided by professional partner EKS Motorsports, represents savings in both time and expense and means drivers need simply to arrive at the track where the fully-prepared cars await them, making for an exciting and hassle-free race weekend.

Pro-Am Class

Privateer drivers who believe the Porsche ARbox Carrera Cup Asia is the exclusive domain of full-time professionals could not be more mistaken. The creation of the Pro-Am Class within the series, designed specifically for those drivers, affords the opportunity to race against the professionals – a unique chance to learn from the best in the business.

 

Am Class

As the quality of the Porsche ARbox Carrera Cup Asia’s dedicated privateers has consistently risen year-on-year, it has become necessary to introduce a new class in order to keep every spot in the race competitive. The series introduced the Am class in 2021, and it has returned every season since with its own podiums, points tables and prizes.

 

Masters Class

Reserved for drivers over 55, the Masters Class celebrates experience, passion, and sportsmanship.

 

Porsche Dealer Trophy

Following huge success in 2025, the trophy further solidifies the Porsche ARbox Carrera Cup Asia as one of the most inclusive, exciting racing series in Asia.

SEASON 2025

The 2025 season marked the 22nd edition of the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia, ushering in a year of significant milestones and competitive intensity. The championship introduced the all-new Masters category, made its first appearances at Mobility Resort Motegi in Japan and Mandalika International Circuit in Indonesia, and saw the return of the Endurance Cup alongside the launch of a new Street Cup. Across the 14 rounds, the calendar spanned iconic venues including Shanghai, Sepang, Bangsaen and Singapore, delivering a season rich in storylines and standout performances.

The official pre-season test took place at Shanghai International Circuit, where teams and drivers focused on final preparations and race pace evaluation. Returning driver Dylan Pereira immediately set the benchmark, topping the timesheets with the fastest lap of the test. Defending Pro-Am champion Bao Jinlong demonstrated strong consistency, while Am contenders such as Munkong Sathienthirakul and Eric Kwong showed competitive form. Drivers in the newly introduced Masters category used the session to build familiarity with both car and circuit, laying solid foundations for the season ahead.

The season opener was staged as the Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix support race and delivered two dramatic races. Enzo Trulli navigated chaotic conditions and a red-flag interruption to secure his maiden victory of the season in Race 1, while Dylan Pereira responded emphatically in Race 2 with a commanding win that launched his winning streak. In the Pro-Am category, victories were shared between Eric Zang and Wang Zhongwei. Munkong Sathienthirakul claimed a double win in Am, while Adrian D’Silva swept both Masters races, becoming the first-ever Masters category race winner in the championship history.

Motegi made its debut on the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia calendar and immediately produced high-level competition. Dylan Pereira continued his dominant form with victories in both races, extending his championship lead. Hugo Ellis and Dylan Yip each secured podium finishes. In Pro-Am, Bao Jinlong and Li Xuanyu traded wins, while Munkong Sathienthirakul again prevailed over Eric Kwong in Am to strengthen his advantage. The Masters category saw Jacky Wu claim his first career victory.

Sepang marked the return of the Endurance Cup, featuring three demanding races under intense conditions. Dylan Pereira completed a hat-trick of victories, underlining his control of the season, while Bao Jinlong matched the feat in Pro-Am. Am Class saw a shift in momentum as Cao Qikuan claimed two wins, breaking Munkong Sathienthirakul’s winning run. In Masters, Adrian D’Silva, Christian Chia and John Shen each took victories, highlighting the growing competitiveness of the category.

The Bangsaen Street Circuit delivered challenging weather and unpredictable racing. Despite the conditions, Dylan Pereira remained unstoppable, claiming two more victories to extend his winning streak to eight. Bao Jinlong continued his strong Pro-Am form, while home favourite Munkong Sathienthirakul secured a Am double. Christian Chia took both Masters wins, moving to the top of the category standings.

Mandalika proved to be a pivotal round in the championship. Fresh face Marcus Amand emerged as a standout performer, claiming back-to-back victories and bringing an end to Dylan Pereira’s winning streak. Nevertheless, Dylan Pereira’s commanding points advantage allowed him to clinch the 2025 Overall Drivers’ Championship ahead of the final round. He also secured another Endurance Cup race win at Mandalika, sealing the Endurance Cup title. Jinlong likewise wrapped up the Pro-Am championship early, earning his sixth Pro title. The Pro-Am and Masters championships, however, remained undecided heading into the season finale.

The season finale took place on the Marina Bay Street Circuit in Singapore as a support race to the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix. Dylan Pereira closed the season in style with two further victories, bringing his total to 11 wins and securing the Street Cup title. Henry Kwong claimed the Pro-Am Drivers’ Championship, while Adrian D’Silva was crowned the first Masters category champion. Although Bao Jinlong encountered misfortune during the finale, he still secured the Pro-Am Street Cup title, bringing his season to a successful conclusion.

The 2025 season saw Dylan Pereira assert his dominance from the outset, ultimately claiming the Overall Championship, Endurance Cup and Street Cup titles. Bao Jinlong’s sixth Pro-Am championship further cemented his legacy, while Henry Kwong and Adrian D’Silva emerged as champions in Pro-Am and Masters respectively. With new categories, new circuits and new records, the season delivered a compelling mix of breakthroughs and classic battles—setting the stage for an highly anticipated 2026 season.
