Carrera Cup field set for 2024
A total of 27 howling Porsche 992 GT3 Cup Cars will contest three races in round one of the 2024 Porsche Carrera Cup at Albert Park this weekend.
It’s hard to go past last year’s front-runners in predicting the Professional Class race winner from the 17 drivers entered: Jackson Walls, Dale Wood, Dylan O’Keefe, and Bayley Hall will all be up there.
Scott Pye, on a one race deal, should be at the pointy-end too, as will Porsche Centre Melbourne teammates and respective 2022 and 2005 champions, Harri Jones and Fabian Coulthard.
Adrian Flack returns to defend his Pro-Am crown, while young Kiwi star Marco Giltrap steps up to the ‘main game’ having clinched the Sprint Challenge last year.
He’ll be joined on debut by fellow Sprint Challenge graduates Lachlan Bloxsom, Tom McLennan, Nash Morris, Harrison Goodman and Marcos Flack. Matt Slavin steps up from the Sprint Challenge Pro-Am class to the Carrera Cup.
Ryder Quinn, 2023 Gold Coast winner Bayley Hall, Angelo Mouzouris, David Russell and brothers Dale and Glen Wood all return.
Balancing out the strong rookies, 10 Carrera Cup race winners also feature, nine of whom have more than 100 Carrera Cup races under their belts.
The Pro-Am battle will see Flack chased again by drivers such as Dean Cook, Sam Shahin, Matt Belford, Marc Cini and Rodney Jane.
Milestone man, and front-running lawyer, Nick McBride should start his 200th Carrera Cup race this weekend. McBride’s Carrera Cup debut was in 2014 and has four round and 11 race wins to his credit.
The Carrera Cup races are always fast and furious, not to be missed!
