A visit to a world of wealth and speedIt’s hard to detect the locals’ enthusiasm for motorsports at first glance. But if you look a little bit closer, youwill see signs of the big races everywhere in the city: red and white striped curbs at particularly tight bends,racing posters, motorsports memorabilia in restaurants and, of course, all of the super sports cars on thedensely populated streets.All-round splendor The racetrack in the city centerMonaco is probably best known for its wealthy residents.

Zuffenhausen on the French RivieraThe Porsche one-make series in MonacoOnce a year, Zuffenhausen goes Mediterranean: when nearly 30 drivers take their Porsche Cup vehicles to the famous Circuit de Monaco, and a choir of485 hp [ 357 kW ] strong, six-cylinder boxer engines echoes through the narrow alleys of Monte Carlo. The Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup in Monaco turnsthe principality into a meeting point for Porsche enthusiasts from all around the world.
Sporty theatrics pushed to their limitsThe Porsche Mobil 1 SupercupAll for one and one for all – this could be the unofficial slogan of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.Because just like every Porsche one-make series, drivers in this challenging variation line up at the startin identical vehicles: the 911 GT3 Cup. 14
25 years of equal opportunity drivers’ heartbeats, but also the audience’s – for a quarter century and counting. Ever since the event’s first starting shot, in 1993, the Porsche one-Nowhere else in the world is the difference between winning and losing so make series has taken place in the exclusive environment of the FIA Formula 1dependent on the driver’s skills. As soon as the drivers are given the go, only World Championship – right before the Grand Prix – at the most impressiveone thing counts: fair competition in which it comes down to fractions of a race tracks in Europe and the world. Steeped in tradition, tracks like Monaco,second. Every race is an open duel that, lap after lap, not only accelerates the Monza and Spa-Francorchamps have therefore been fixtures in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup racing schedule for many years. The brand cup has inspired fans around the globe on 21 different race tracks. It made its début outside of Europe in 1999, at the Grand Prix in Australia. After having been held in venues like Indianapolis, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi and Austin, Mexico City was next on the docket for the 2017 Supercup. Today, the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup is at the cutting edge of Porsche brand cups around the world. Here, experienced professionals and up-and-coming stars who are hungry for success come together to put their skills to the test. A pool of talent The Supercup is organized directly by Porsche. By staying committed to the principle of absolute equal opportunity, the event guarantees fair competition of the highest caliber in motorsports – and thus the thrill of racing down to the last bend. This provides ambitious youngsters with the perfect stage for the pros: at present, no less than ten Porsche works drivers are from the Supercup talent pool, and many more Porsche drivers managed to clinch top spots in motorsports. Earl Bamber had a particularly sensational rise to success. After the New Zealander became the 2014 Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup champion, he achieved victory again the following year at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Two years later, he did it again. Start – finish – champagne The unique profile of the track in particular is what makes the Grand Prix of Monaco such a special event in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup racing calendar every year. Stretching around 2 miles, the city circuit is not only the shortest, but also one of the most challenging race tracks the brand cup has visited, despite – or perhaps because of – the relatively low average speed the drivers reach. The city’s many narrow alleys prevent drivers on the Circuit de Monaco, a temporary track through the middle of the city, from going too fast. Consisting of 18 – sometimes very tight – bends and strong contrasts between dark and light when the drivers come out of the tunnel, the circuit puts the race’s contenders to the ultimate test. It is precisely this high level of difficulty that makes the Circuit de Monaco so charming. The course runs through the districts of Monte Carlo and La Condamine, passing some of the principality's most famous sights along the way. The grandstands lining the track are even visible to spectators witnessing the race on their yachts in the harbor. Only a few race tracks in the world are capable of offering a view this exclusive. 15

Each and every vehicle was successful: with more than 3,900 models built, this Porsche brand cup vehicledeveloped for top performance.

The series 1990. The wide range of situations for which it is suited has certainlyproduction models roll off the same production line as the racing cars at contributed to its success.

Optimized for on-track racing From the characteristic front and rear trim to the newly designed four-point LED headlights and tail lights, this vehicle combines the character of the iconic Porsche 911 with the latest motorsport technology. Each individual detail was designed to meet the demands of the race track. The front and rear trim, for example, were optimized to reduce wind resistance, and the software was overhauled in 2017 to allow vehicle diagnosis to be carried out directly on the steering wheel display. Additional vehicle sensors also increase the amount of vehicle data gathered to increase the effectiveness of the data evaluation. The vehicle features an enlarged roof hatch, making it easier to get to the driver in the event of an accident. Furthermore, the aluminum–steel hybrid construction of the chassis as well as the new racing seat meet all of the FIA safety criteria. Plenty of space – for the cylinders The four-liter, six-cylinder boxer aggregate delivers up to 357 kW [ 485 hp ] at 7,500 rpm for proper performance. The engine’s power is transferred to the rear axle via a racing clutch and a Porsche sequential six-speed constant-mesh transmission. Paddle shifters are used to shift the gears, which are engaged electropneumatically. One major advantage of this system is the increased engine and transmission operating time until the first revision [ engine: 100 hours; transmission: 60 hours ]. This reduces the operating costs and makes the 911 GT3 Cup not only the ticket to the world of Porsche brand cups, but also a pure-blooded racing machine – optimized for customer sport.25
Intelligent design of the highest order is just as much a requirement for fan gear as it is for Porsche racing cars.The new windbreaker jacket, for example, features waterproof seams for added quality, and an innovative mixof materials make the T-shirts extra comfortable.

Electronic music of the futureThe Monaco ePrixSome die-hard motorsports fans may have to get used to the sound. Compared to the sonorous engines of their petrol-powered counterparts,the Formula E cars strike a somewhat softer note. But in the motorsports atmosphere of the Monaco ePrix, quieter doesn’t mean less powerful.Seeing these futuristic cars speed through the narrow streets of Monte Carlo is a truly electrifying experience – both from the grandstands andunder the hood. In 2019, a Porsche works team will line up at the starting line and drive off into the electric future of Porsche Motorsport.

Once a year, however, this elegant armada of luxury boats takes on trulyHerculean proportions – at the Monaco Yacht Show, one of the most important superyacht events in the world.
