Porsche Carrera Cup Asia 2025 is set to return for Rounds 8 and 9 at the Bangsaen Grand Prix from 4-July to 6-July, in support of the Thailand Super Series.
Alexandre Imperatori, Porsche Carrera Cup Asia Manager said, “What an amazing weekend of action in Sepang with great racing throughout the field and a successful opening round of the Endurance Cup. It was extremely challenging for the 27 drivers as all three races were so different with one at night, another in the day and the third being a longer version as well as featuring a rolling start. That being said, it makes it even more impressive to see Dylan win all three rounds and Bao do the same in the Pro-Am class.”
“The Endurance Cup proved a real physical test for the whole field, but the drivers loved this extra challenge! It was great to also welcome back the TTAP students to the pit-lane and we thank Porsche Malaysia for putting on activities such as its Esports Sprint Challenge. Overall, it’s been remarkable, and we can’t wait to go racing in Bangsaen next month which will be a spectacle in front of a packed crowd,” he added.
