The Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge was a new series to the UK for 2010 and continues to build for 2011. It is a series of races rather than a championship, so at the end of the year, there is no 'champion', but a 'Driver of the Year'.

Divided into two classes, the eligible cars are: Class 1 - 997 GT3 Cup cars and Class 2 - 996 GT3 Cup cars. To accommodate variations between the cars over the different model years, different minimum weights or relaxation of technical regulations apply, to provide a 'level playing field' for all competitors.

At the final round of the season - on the Silverstone Grand Prix circuit - the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge runners join up with the Porsche Club Championship field to provide a grid of in excess of 40-cars. We also have a one-off Invitation race against leading Ferrari ‘Open’ runners at Castle Combe in August.

In 2011 the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge will feature a mix of stand-alone races and the combined races with the Club Championship at the Silverstone final round. It will once more provide the exciting racing the series has become renowned for. Porsche Cars GB will again be rewarding the outstanding driver of the season with the use of a Porsche Cayman S for use in 2012.

Peter Smallwood became our first ever Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge 'Driver of the Year' in 2010. He took the title with his Porsche 996 GT3 Cup car in his first full year of racing. Peter was presented with this 'prize drive' Porsche Cayman S prize car at Porsche Cars Headquarters in Reading at the beginining of the year.
