A REVISED Superlicence points structure ensures the Porsche Motorsport Australia pathway continues to provide excellent representation for drivers looking to progress to the Repco Supercars Championship. 

Motorsport Australia has announced a revised Superlicence points structure for 2025 with both the Porsche Paynter Dixon Carrera Cup Australia Championship and Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge Australia Series well represented at the pointy-end of the allocations.

The revised allocations recognise the depth of competition in both categories this year, with both Carrera Cup and Sprint Challenge featuring strong grids, high level competition and a host of talented young drivers taking part in the Porsche Michelin Junior Program this year.

This means young drivers and Porsche Michelin Juniors can rapidly accrue the required 15 points needed to obtain a Superlicence and a potential Supercars drive, while still making the most of the Porsche Pyramid in Australia and keeping potential international racing aspirations alive at the same time.

Success in the Porsche Paynter Dixon Carrera Cup Australia Championship awards 12 Superlicence points to those finishing first, second or third in the championship, with 10 points awarded to the driver finishing fourth and 8 to the driver in fifth.

Carrera Cup is one of only two categories within the revised structure that award Superlicence points down to 10th position.

Michelin Sprint Challenge competitors will receive 10 points for winning the title, 8 for second and 6 for third with points allocated down to 7th in the series standings.

A host of drivers have utilised the ultra-competitive Porsche pathway in Australia to progress to Supercars competition recently.

Cameron Hill, Matthew Payne, Andre Heimgartner, Cameron Hill, Ryan Wood, Jaxon Evans, Aaron Love and enduro wildcard Cooper Murray are all former winners or champions in either Carrera Cup or Sprint Challenge Australia in recent years, while David Reynolds and Nick Percat had success in Carrera Cup competition earlier in their careers.

While not requiring the Superlicence points any longer, David Russell, Fabian Coulthard, Dylan O’Keeffe and Dale Wood all tackle the Carrera Cup Australia championship alongside their Supercars Endurance season co-driver roles.
