Porsche TAG Heuer Esports Supercup

Since 2019, the premier racing championship on iRacing has been the Porsche TAG Heuer Esports Supercup. 30 drivers compete for a share of a $200,000 prize pool in the Porsche 992 GT3 Cup across ten rounds of two races each.

Format

Drivers decide their grid positions for the first race by a single-lap superpole shootout, and then they run a 50 kilometres Sprint Race. Then for the Main Race, the finishing order sets the grid with the top eight inverted, and it goes for 100 kilometres.

The top five in qualifying score points with 10 going to the driver who sets the fastest time. The top 20 in the Sprint Race score points with the winner getting 25 points, and the top 25 score in the Main Race with the winner netting 50.

Along with the pros in the Supercup, there is also a set of races featuring sim racing content creators and even the occasional real world racing driver. These are the All Star races that will see the drivers racing not only the 992 GT3 Cup, but also the 718 Cayman GT4, the 911 RSR and for the season finale, the Mission R.

The races are 17 and 27 minutes in length respectively, with the whole finishing order of the first race inverted to set the grid for the second race. Points pay out equally in both races.
