Based on the new Porsche 911 GT3, the next Carrera cup cars will be 4.0-litre, 357kW/480Nm beasts.
With new engines and only 1200kg to pull, the Cup should prove as riveting as ever when the next generation of cars are introduced.
The new car will be raced throughout the 2018, 2019, and up to the 2020 Carrera Cup seasons.
Once it’s open to ‘other interested parties’, people will need to fork out $295,000 for the car, then about $9K each for the two parts packs.
The Elite Class is now divided into Pro-Am and Am, though the existing ‘Outright’ class for professional drivers stays.
“As well as providing a level playing field for the best professional drivers to showcase their talent we also need to make the series appealing for the semi-pros which form the backbone of Carrera Cup in Australia.”
ABS will be used exclusively for Pro-Am and Am competitors.
Porsche Carrera Cup Australia will hold two one-hour, two-driver races across the Shannons Nationals event at Phillip Island.
