Team Porsche New Zealand celebrated a championship title in Singapore with Marco Giltrap crowned 2026 Porsche Carrera Cup Asia Pro champion after sweeping pole position, a new lap record and both races.
“I’m so happy to be crowned Porsche Carrera Cup Asia champion. I can’t thank the team enough, who have been behind me from day one. So much effort has gone into this season, and to be able to take the honours at the end of the year feels very special,” said Marco Giltrap.
Giltrap finished fourth in practice before delivering the standout performance of qualifying, taking pole position for both races and setting a new Porsche Carrera Cup Asia lap record at the Singapore street circuit.
In Race 1, Giltrap led from lights to flag, controlling the race on the demanding street layout to take a comfortable victory.
Race 2 proved a far tougher test. Starting from pole, Giltrap came under immediate pressure from his championship rival and had to manage two Safety Car restarts. He held on through the closing stages to cross the line first, winning the race, the round and the 2026 Pro championship.
The title caps a standout season for Giltrap and Team Porsche New Zealand.
