Porsche Endurance Trophy Nürburgring
The Porsche Endurance Trophy Nürburgring (PETN) is a national Porsche one-make series held within the Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS, German: Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie). The championship features two classes: Cup 2 and Cup 3. This series offers both established teams and newcomers the opportunity to enjoy a thrilling and successful racing season on the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
The Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport (Type 982) is eligible to compete in the Cup 3 class. In addition, this class offers the opportunity to obtain the Nordschleife Permit A with the Clubsport racer and thus take the next step for the motorsport future on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. In the PETN Cup 2 class, only the latest generation Porsche 911 GT3 Cup can participate, making it the second class alongside Cup 3. Together, these two classes form the Porsche Endurance Trophy Nürburgring championship, offering overall and class rankings, both with attractive prizes and trophies. The team that has collected the most points across all classes at the end of the season will also be crowned PETN Overall Champion. In addition, the series offers full support at the racetrack for technical questions and parts requirements, media support, PETN community events and driver development training.
The PETN participants can compete in the Nürburgring 24 Hours under the same technical regulations. This event is rated as an individual race and does not count towards the annual Porsche one-make series standings, but instead offers an attractive special classification with corresponding prizes.
