In addition to the venues of the Emilia-Romagna and the Belgian Grand Prix, the German one-make cup will also visit two other current Formula 1 race tracks: Circuit Zandvoort on the Dutch North Sea coast and Red Bull Ring in Austria are part of the six races programme in conjunction with the DTM. An additional highlight is the return to the Norisring: The German Carrera Cup last competed on the spectacular street circuit in Nuremberg in 2019. The Nürburgring, the Sachsenring and the Hockenheimring complete the 2025 programme of the Porsche Sixt Carrera Cup Deutschland.
Eight teams – some with two formally separate squads – have permanently entered a total of 28 drivers into the Porsche Sixt Carrera Cup Deutschland. In addition to Proton Huber Competition, the defending Teams’ Champion, Bonk Motorsport, Team75 Bernhard, ID Racing, Target Competition from Italy and the Dutch team GP Elite are back on the grid. [a-workx] by Porsche Paderborn is a newly formed team. A high-profile newcomer is Schumacher CLRT. Last season, the French outfit won the Drivers' and the Teams’ Championship of the international Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.
The drivers represent ten nations, including Brazil, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. Germany has the largest contingent with twelve competitors, ahead of the Netherlands with seven. Among them is Emely de Heus (ID Racing), the first female driver in a decade. The 22-year-old last raced in the international F1 Academy series. De Heus and four other newcomers are legible to score points in the Rookie classification. As usual, the Porsche Sixt Carrera Cup Deutschland also awards additional classifications and titles for the teams and the so-called ProAm, experienced drivers without ambitions of a professional career.
Once again, Porsche Deutschland is specifically supporting eight young drivers. In addition to Emely de Heus, the Talent Pool includes Austrian Kiano Blum (ID Racing), Matheus Ferreira from Brazil (Target), Briton Joseph Warhurst (Team Proton Huber Competition), Dutch drivers Flynt Schuring (Schumacher CLRT), Kas Haverkort (Team GP Elite) and Senna van Soelen as well as Daniel Gregor from Germany (both Team75 Bernhard).
The Porsche Sixt Carrera Cup Deutschland grid also includes both current Porsche Juniors: Frenchman Alessandro Ghiretti (Schumacher CLRT) debuts in Germany as the reigning champion of the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia and the Porsche Carrera Cup France. Theo Oeverhaus (Bonk Motorsport) was Rookie Champion of the German Carrera Cup in 2023. The German driver finished third overall last season and won the Porsche Carrera Cup Middle East.
Two reigning champions are back for the new season. Rookie winner and Talent Pool newcomer Flynt Schuring this year has his sights set on a top spot in the overall standings. German Sören Spreng (GP Elite) aims to defend his ProAm title. Record champion and defending title holder Larry ten Voorde will no longer be competing. Meanwhile, the Dutchman is concentrating on his own young driver academy.
In the new season, the Porsche Sixt Carrera Cup Deutschland will once again stage two races per race weekend, each lasting just over 30 minutes. Race car is the tried-and-tested 992-generation Porsche 911 GT3 Cup.
“Porsche has been running one-make cups in Germany for 40 years, the Carrera Cup enters its 36th season. We have once again chosen the DTM as our main platform, which will be our host on six weekends. There will also be two rounds as support to the FIA World Endurance Championship. Teams, drivers, and fans can therefore look forward to a varied season in which Sixt will once again be our title partner,” comments Thorsten Rückert, Project Manager Porsche Sixt Carrera Cup Deutschland. “I am especially looking forward to the performances of the Talent Pool members, in which I particularly welcome Emely de Heus as the only female driver.”
