Season Details
The 2026 season kicks off on January 12th, featuring the new 992.2 Porsche Cup car.
Details:
- Setups: The GPT will be using fixed setups with traction control (TC) and anti-lock brakes (ABS) disabled, keeping continuity with what so many drivers loved about the previous Porsche Cup cars.
- Schedule: The competition schedule will run from January to May, and align with the official iRacing schedule for 2026S01 and 2026S02 during that time. This allows drivers to double-dip on their practice time!
- Drop Races: Core to the GPT design is recognizing sim racing is a hobby that must fit in with other life priorities. As such, there will be TWO drop races in this season.
- Starts: Races will use standing starts, matching officials. The GPT strongly believes standing starts are the fairest and safest way to start races.
- Qualifying: Races will feature 3 lap lone qualifying, offering drivers a fair opportunity to bring the tires using the new tire model up to ideal temperatures and set a representative fast lap.
- Major Championships: As always, the GPT schedule will feature two events on the calendar designated as Majors. These races are longer (60 minutes instead of 45) and will feature more difficult tracks/conditions but reward drivers with more points!
