Porsche Paynter Dixon Carrera Cup

The Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (Type 992) cars that make up the field of the Porsche Paynter Dixon Carrera Cup bring European flair to the support category line-up at the 2024 VAILO Adelaide 500.

 

Carrera Cup series are held around the world, with the concept for Australia’s series the same as those overseas. Drivers race identical specification vehicles, which ensures tight racing on a street circuit such as Adelaide as success lies in driver ability. The Type 992 Cup car used in 2024 is the first racing version based on the current 992 generation road car.

 

Drivers compete in two classes – Pro for professional drivers and Pro-Am for semi-professional competitors. In the Pro class in season 2024, young gun Harri Jones jumped out of the blocks the fastest. But in Adelaide, last year’s unbeaten driver Dale Wood as well as other category frontrunners including David Russell and Jackson Walls will not be easy to overcome.

 

The VAILO Adelaide 500 will be the final event for the category for the second year in a row after a long history of it beginning its championship on the streets of Adelaide.
