Porsche Sports Cup Suisse: Three questions to...
... Benjamin Bieber, Head of Marketing at Porsche Schweiz AG and one of the driving forces behind the Porsche Sports Cup Suisse, in which around 540 vehicles competed in the 2024 season.
Mr. Bieber, how satisfied is Porsche Switzerland with the 2024 season?
Benjamin Bieber, Head of Marketing, Porsche Schweiz AG: Very satisfied. We had a total of around 540 vehicles on the grid during the six race weekends of the Porsche Sports Cup Suisse. We saw many exciting duels and thrilling motorsport. Felix Hirsiger from Team Fach Auto Tech dominated Class 1 with the 911 GT3 Cup. In addition to his career as a racing driver, he works as a sales consultant at the Porsche Center Zug and is therefore perfectly placed to convey the fascination of motorsport to our customers. And in Class 10 with the 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport, Tomas Guedes and Remo Stebler fought a thrilling championship battle right to the end. It is precisely these emotions that our customer sport thrives on!
What changes are planned for the coming season?
We also want to see exciting races and fair motorsport in 2025 and ideally a large field of participants so that we can see the motorsport DNA of our brand in action as widely as possible. We are now starting in Portimão in April, which promises perfect weather conditions for the season opening. Instead, the Red Bull Ring is not on the program until the end of May. The new highlight in 2025 will certainly be Monza, which is returning to the racing calendar. The battle for hundredths will take place there in July. We are very confident that the Porsche Junior Program will once again have at least one Junior protégé in the top class with a 911 GT3 Cup without ABS.
For those who don't know it yet: What does it take to become a part of this customer sports series?
On the one hand, motivation and passion for racing, and on the other, a certain amount of racing experience, whether in karting or formula racing. In the Porsche Sports Cup Suisse, there is always a fair fight for every thousandth of a second, which is why a strong and professional motorsport team in the background is extremely important. And last but not least, support from the personal environment and, of course, from sponsors.
