A Night of Champions: Celebrating the 2023 Porsche Carrera Cup Italy Winners at the Porsche Experience Center Franciacorta
As the sun set over the picturesque Porsche Experience Center Franciacorta, the air buzzed with excitement and anticipation. It was the night the motorsport world had been eagerly awaiting: the gala evening celebrating the 2023 champions of the Porsche Carrera Cup Italy. This was not just any event; it was a colorful and musical extravaganza that marked the culmination of the seventeenth edition of this prestigious single-brand championship.
The 2023 season was nothing short of spectacular, setting a new benchmark in the world of motorsport. We saw an incredible lineup of 37 drivers representing 15 teams and 22 Porsche Centers from all over Italy, making it a record-breaking year for the Carrera Cup Italia. The competition was fierce, the cars were fast, and the talent was extraordinary.
The gala was a perfect blend of elegance and adrenaline. Among the glittering lights and vibrant music, the champions took center stage. The spotlight shone brightest on the Dutch sensation Larry Ten Voorde from Enrico Fulgenzi Racing – Centro Porsche Udine, who clinched the overall champion title. His victory was a testament to skill, precision, and relentless determination. Joining him in the limelight was Alberto De Amicis from Ebimotors – Centro Porsche Varese, who triumphed in the Michelin Cup.
But the night wasn't just about individual glory. The team accolade went to Dinamic Motorsport, a name synonymous with excellence in motorsport. Their team manager, Maurizio Lusuardi, graciously accepted the award, a symbol of teamwork and strategic brilliance.
A highlight of the evening was the acknowledgment of the emerging world of virtual racing. The Porsche Esports Carrera Cup Italia crowned its champion, the prodigious sim racer Daniel Savini, bridging the gap between virtual and real tracks.
The event was graced by the presence of Guido Schittone and Matteo Bobbi, familiar faces to the television audience, who hosted the event. The gala also welcomed top executives from leading Porsche Centers and partners, including Q8 Hi Perform. This main partner has been a game-changer in the championship, fielding an official 911 GT3 Cup since 2019 and introducing multiple MotoGP champion Jorge Lorenzo to motor racing.
As the evening drew to a close, it was clear that the Porsche Carrera Cup Italy had not only celebrated its champions but had also showcased the pinnacle of motorsport excellence. This event was more than a gala; it was a statement of passion, performance, and the relentless pursuit of excellence that defines the world of motorsport.
