RaceRoom Racing Experience News

The Porsche Carrera Cup Germany 2019 season is now available in RaceRoom!
Creating champions since 1990, the one-make series by Porsche has always delivered its share of racing action and excitement. The sprint specification of this car means no ABS, no Traction Control, limited allowance in car setup adjustments as well as stiffer suspensions. The Carrera Cup is a series of pure driving skills.

The 2019 crown went to French driver Julien Andlauer, who finished just 2 points (and a half) ahead of Michael Ammermüller (DE).

The 2019 calendar visited Hockenheim, Autodrome Most, the Red Bull Ring, Norisring, Zandvoort, Nürburgring and Sachsenring. All those tracks are available in RaceRoom for you to immediately recreate the excitement of the Carrera Cup from the comfort of your home and become the virtual champion amongst this huge field of beautiful Porsche liveries.

And remember: the original Porsche 911 Carrera Cup (964) from 1990 is also present in RaceRoom for that back to the roots racing feeling!
