The 2026 Porsche Carrera Cup GB season roared into life at Donington Park with a weekend packed full of action, breakthrough performances, and multiple first-time winners across the categories.
A star is born in Pro
William Jenkins (Team Parker Racing) secured the first pole position of the season and led the field away at the start of Race One, with Voisin launching strongly from the front row. The decisive moment came on lap 17 when Voisin executed a clean and confident move at Redgate to take the lead. From there, the young Junior controlled the race to secure a sensational debut victory.
Jenkins crossed the line in second, while Sherwood initially finished third on the road. However, a post-race penalty for his earlier incident dropped him down the order, promoting Max Coates to complete the podium.
Race One – Pro podium:
The reverse-grid draw placed Pro-Am driver Oliver Jackson (JTR) on pole for Race Two, and he capitalised with a flawless lights-to-flag performance to secure his first overall victory in the championship.
Jenkins once again showed strong pace to finish second overall and best of the Pro category, while Voisin continued his impressive debut weekend by climbing to third after a late-race move on Coates through the Craner Curves. Sherwood recovered to fourth after an entertaining battle.
Race Two – Overall / Pro podium:
Jackson dominates Pro-Am
In the Pro-Am category, Jackson proved to be the driver to beat across both races. Despite Stephen Jelley leading the class in qualifying, Jackson took control at the start of Race One and held firm through a Safety Car interruption and sustained pressure behind.
At the flag, Jackson secured the category win ahead of Jelley, while a time penalty for Jonathan Moore elevated Oliver Meadows to a maiden podium on his championship debut.
Race One – Pro-Am podium:
Starting from reverse-grid pole in Race Two, Jackson again delivered a commanding performance to claim a second overall and Pro-Am victory of the weekend. Behind him, Jacob Tofts battled his way to second after a decisive move on Jelley, with Meadows completing the podium to make it two from two.
Race Two – Pro-Am podium:
Dawes doubles up in Masters
The newly introduced Masters category also produced a standout performer in Henry Dawes (Century Motorsport), who claimed a clean sweep of victories across the weekend.
After early drama in Race One eliminated pole-sitter Michael Keohane, Dawes fought past Carl Cavers in the closing stages to secure the inaugural Masters win.
Race One – Masters podium:
Race Two saw Dawes lead from the front, and despite further contact behind between Keohane and Cavers, he remained unchallenged to take his second win. Cavers once again joined him on the podium.
