Porsche Carrera Cup Japan (PCCJ)
On March 15, 2024, the two Porsche Japan junior drivers for this year were announced.
The junior drivers of Porsche Japan for the 2024 season are:
- Porsche Carrera Cup Japan (PCCJ) → Ryoma Heianyama
Congratulations ^^
Up until now, I think one person each has been selected for PCCJ and PSCJ (Porsche Sprint Challenge Japan), but this season only one person will be selected for Carrera Cup? ? I wonder if PSCJ will not be held this year.
No, it looks like PSCJ will have 4 tournaments and 8 races in the 2024 season, so I guess that means there are no such candidates this year.
By the way, Hiranyama, who was selected this time, was selected as a Porsche Japan junior driver in the PSCJ category in the 2023 season. This time, he stepped up even further and participated in PCCJ.
