Bahrain to host two rounds of Porsche Carrera Cup Middle East

Bahrain will stage two rounds of the Porsche Carrera Cup Middle East (PCCME) during its 2025-26 season, organisers have confirmed.

The campaign begins at Bahrain International Circuit on 6–8 November, running alongside the Bapco Energies 8 Hours of Bahrain, the FIA World Endurance Championship finale. The series will return to Sakhir on 10–12 April as part of the Formula One Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix weekend.

The PCCME, entering its 17th season, will feature six meetings and 12 races across Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE and Saudi Arabia, with three rounds taking place in support of F1 grands prix.

Drivers will compete in Porsche 911 (992) GT3 Cup cars across Pro, Pro-Am, Masters and GCC categories.

Germany’s Janne Stiak won last season’s overall title, with Saudi driver Saud Al Saud claiming both the Pro-Am and GCC crowns.
