HIGHLIGHTS 2019      RACING CALENDAR
                  After a short break in 2018, the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland 2019 returns to the DTM with two events, starting with the season opener
                  at Hockenheimring and then the season highlight at Norisring. The successful cooperation with the ADAC GT Masters will be continued
                  at the same time. A new track will be added with the Autodrom Most (Czech Republic), on which the first ever two-day pre-season test will
                  also take place.

                     TALENT POOL AND AMATEUR COACHING
                  Following the extremely successful launch of the Talent Pool Programme in the 2018 season, the series' own junior driver development
                  programme will be continued in 2019 and comprehensively further developed. In addition, the coaching offer for amateur drivers will also
                  be expanded.

                     MARKETING
                  Fixed starting times immediately before and after the main event, live onboard cameras, comprehensive pre- and post-reporting
                  on (live) TV and the Internet, numerous online and social media activities as well as a central social media feed at porsche.de/carreracup
                  guarantee a high media presence for the series, and create the prerequisites for successful marketing.

                     NEW HOSPITALITY CONCEPT
                  In 2019, the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland will welcome its teams, drivers, sponsors and guests with an extensively revised hospitality
                  concept.
