Rookie Class

As young single-seater or sports car drivers find the passage to a professional racing career ever more financially challenging, Porsche is extending a huge helping hand through the Rookie Championship.

Drivers of any age entering Porsche Carrera Cup GB for the first time* will automatically be entered into the Rookie Championship to compete for exceptional prize money. Drivers must register and participate in all races during the 2018 season to be eligible for the Rookie Championship and end of season prize money.

At the end of the season, substantial cash prizes are available dependent on the drivers’ finishing positions in the championship:
