The Porsche Paynter Dixon Carrera Cup will once again be a primary support category for the Repco Supercars Championship next year, with the Championship officially confirming its 2022 season calendar. 
  
Eight rounds will make up the jam-packed schedule with the category, which was recently elevated to Championship status, to travel to five different states and territories over eight months. 
  
Starting off with April’s Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park, the championship will then head to the Northern Territory for the popular Triple Crown in June. 
  
The Darwin round marks the first four back-to-back rounds alongside Supercars with Townsville and The Bend Motorsport Park in July, while Sandown International Raceway will follow in August.


Carrera Cup competitors will run its sixth round of the season on one of the biggest stages in Australian motorsport – the Repco Bathurst 1000. 
  
Later in October, the streets of Gold Coast will host the penultimate round before the season wraps up under lights at Sydney Motorsport Park in November at the Supercars finale.
  
With 2022 to also mark the debut of the brand new Type 992 generation Porsche 911 GT3 Cup in Australia, Director Sales and Motorsport Porsche Cars Australia Toni Andreevski was excited for what was to come next year. 
  
“After two seasons plagued by travel restrictions, we are delighted to announce our 2022 calendar which will see our drivers continue to race at the biggest motorsport events of the year, in front of the biggest crowds, enjoying the best support and television package available,” Andreevski said. 
  
“Every season we strive to deliver a premium class experience for all our customers, teams and partners and with the prospect of 32 new 992 generation Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars filling the grid in 2022, the season will be arguably the best in its long and illustrious history.”
