The Porsche Esports Supercup Regional Championships are past the halfway mark, and no driver in any of the four regions has locked in a World Championship spot yet. Three of five races are complete. The World Championship Series starts September 19 at Spa-Francorchamps, with 32 regional qualifying spots available.

What the Porsche Esports Supercup Is
The Porsche Esports Supercup is iRacing’s official Porsche one-make esports series, built around the Porsche 911 Cup 992.2. Everyone runs identical equipment. This year the series introduced a regional championship structure for the first time. Instead of a single global qualifying path, the season runs across four geographic regions: Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Middle East and Africa. Each region awards eight spots to the World Championship grid. That is how the 32-driver championship field gets built.
How the Porsche Esports Supercup Points Work
Every regional round distributes points across qualifying and race results. Pole position pays 10 points, decreasing per position through fifth. Race finishes pay 50 for the win, 45 for second, and step down through 25th. A perfect five-race run, five poles and five wins, would be worth 300 points. Nobody has managed that in any region. With two rounds remaining in each region, the standings are unsettled everywhere.
Americas
Xander Reed leads the Americas with 173 points and two wins over three races. Mitchell deJong and Elvis Rankin are among the drivers pressing behind him. The cutoff between the driver in eighth place and the driver in ninth currently sits at 61 points. That is a meaningful gap, but two full race weekends remain. The Americas closes at Miami on August 8, then Interlagos on August 22.
Asia-Pacific
Dayne Warren has the cleanest record across all four regions. Three poles, three wins, 180 points. No driver anywhere in the field has converted every qualifying session into a race win the way Warren has over the first three rounds.
Second place belongs to Cooper Webster, the defending World Champion, at 159 points. Webster won the Porsche Esports Supercup World Championship Series last season and is currently working to earn his return ticket through regional qualifying. He has two chances left: Okayama on August 10 and Phillip Island on August 24.
Europe
Europe has no individual running away with the regional lead. Charlie Collins and Florian Lebigre are deadlocked at 134 points after three races, and both are being pressed by former World Champions Sebastian Job and Diogo Pinto. The European qualifying class heading to Spa will include drivers with prior World Championship experience. Hockenheimring on August 15 and Red Bull Ring on August 29 will determine who makes it.
Middle East and Africa
Patrick Kessel has won all three MEA races. Three races, three wins, 178 points. The MEA runs 10 drivers compared to 32 in the other three regions, but Kessel has been dominant regardless of field size. He is the only driver in any region with a perfect winning record through three rounds. MEA wraps at Okayama on August 10 and Phillip Island on August 24.
The Porsche Esports Supercup World Championship Starts September 19
Most regional finals run between August 8 and August 29. Once those close, the qualifying picture is complete. Thirty-two regional qualifiers head to Belgium for a World Championship Series that begins a few weeks later.
Drivers currently inside a top-eight regional spot are protecting position. Drivers outside it are working against a shrinking window. For anyone following the series or planning to compete in future seasons, the regional championship format is the path to the top level of the ladder. The full mid-season breakdown for all four regions is in Justin Melillo’s report published August 7 on iRacing.com.
