“We aim to continue this trajectory throughout 2016 and securing such a strong schedule for next season help us to do so.
“We’re certainly looking forward to the series’ return to the Rennsport event. The all-Porsche festival was a genuine highlight in the 2013 season and GT3 Cup Challenge will again, along with Carrera Cup, be a key drawcard of the on-track racing schedule.
“For Porsche, GT3 Cup Challenge is a crucial element to our motor racing program and we are planning another exciting, entertaining and enjoyable season ahead for our teams, drivers, families and series partners.”
