During 2023 the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup will be part of eight European Formula 1® races, the Stuttgart based maker of SUVs, sedans and sports cars said today. Individual rounds of the Porsche Carrera Cup Japan and Porsche Carrera Cup Asia also continue as part of the Formula 1® support program. The series has been on the FIA Formula One World Championship™ calendar for three decades.

Both parties have extended the agreement for eight years until 2030. For the 2023 season, the international one-make cup will use the  375 kW (510 PS or 503 horsepower) Porsche 911. During the eight races of the 2022 Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, 28 registered competitors and 25 guest drivers competed.

The 2023 calendar includes Imola (Italy), Monte Carlo (Monaco), Spielberg (Austria), Silverstone (United Kingdom), Budapest (Hungary), Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium), Zandvoort (Netherlands) and Monza (Italy). Furthermore, the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia and the Porsche Carrera Cup Japan retain their places in the support program of the Formula 1® races in China and Singapore or Japan until 2030.

“Formula 1 is the ideal platform for drivers and teams in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup to demonstrate their prowess at the highest international level. The best from Porsche’s national one-make cups come together in the Supercup. I’m also proud of the fact that the respective national Porsche Carrera Cups will continue as part of the support program at several Formula 1 events outside Europe in the future. We will also maintain our presence in North America and even further expand our involvement,” said Michael Dreiser, Sales Director Porsche Motorsport.

For the 2023 Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, 28 permanent spots are available for registered competitors. Depending on the capacity of the racetracks, additional guest drivers may enroll. At the majority of last season’s Supercup races, 32 Porsche 911 vehicles raced.
