Talent Pool Programme

This development of the successful Young Driver Development Programme for Rookie drivers, seen in Porsche Carrera Cup GB since 2008, makes its Sprint Challenge GB debut in 2026. The Talent Pool Programme is open to Porsche Sprint Challenge GB drivers in the RS Professional or Clubsport categories. And the Talent Pool Programme will employ its own separate points table. Attracting the most promising young talent to Porsche Sprint Challenge GB, and supporting their development as racing drivers in all areas, remains an extremely important goal for the championship.

The Talent Pool Programme includes a two-day pre-season Training Camp held at Porsche Experience Centre Silverstone, with a focus on fitness and nutrition. Porsche Human Performance experts, at the state-of-the-art Silverstone facility, will provide tailored guidance and training on all aspects of physical and mental preparation, including advice on diet in relation to training and reaction times.

A Michelin Tyre Masterclass, and technical training sessions with the Porsche Motorsport GB Technical Team, will provide further tailored in-season support, helping to explain the intricate dynamics of the 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport and 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport. While participants will also receive bespoke Talent Pool Programme clothing and branding, helping them to stand-out in the busy Porsche paddock. Drivers will also benefit from media training sessions. Finally, a generous cash prize will be offered, or an attractive discount on the following season’s Entry Fee, for the Talent Pool champion.

Drivers eligible for the Talent Pool Programme must be under 25 years of age on 1 March 2026. They must not have competed in more than two Porsche Sprint Challenge weekends anywhere in the world, and must not have competed in Porsche Carrera Cup GB, or Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.
