The 30th edition of the “Porsche Carrera Cup Germany” season began on 3 May at Hockenheim, Baden-Württemberg, and shall finish on 18 October 2015 at the same circuit, after eighteen races, with two races at each event. It is a support championship for the 2015 DTM season.
Some of the races take place at the Nürburgring, a 150,000 spectator capacity motor sports complex around the village of Nürburg, Rhineland-Palatinate. It is located about 70 km south of Cologne, and 120 km northwest of Frankfurt am Main. The ring features a Grand Prix race track built in 1984, and a much longer old “North loop” track which was built in the 1920s around the village and mediaeval castle of Nürburg in the Eifel mountains. The north loop is 20.8 km long and has more than 300 metres (1,000 feet) of elevation change from its lowest to highest points.
