Czabok Simpson Motorsport will expand into Porsche Carrera Cup North America competition, having confirmed the order of two Type-992.2 Porsche 911 Cup cars for the 2026 season.

The Indianapolis-based team, co-owned by Matthias Czabok and U.S.-based South African driver/coach Stephen Simpson, will enter Porsche Motorsport North America’s top-level single-make series alongside its continued efforts in IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge, which also features Porsche machinery.

It comes amid the introduction of the latest-generation Cup car, which will make its debut next year in selected Carrera Cup series, including the North America championship.

“This is an exciting next step for our organization,” said Simpson. “We’ve established a strong foundation with Porsche in IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge and expanding into Carrera Cup North America allows us to further develop talent, deepen our relationship with Porsche, and compete at an elite level in a one-make format.”

Czabok added: “We’re building a comprehensive multi-series program with Porsche that offers a clear ladder of development. With new Gen-2 cars on order, we’re committed to being competitive right from the start.”

The team’s Pilot Challenge GS campaign will continue next year, with the only change being a reduction from three to two full-time Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport entries.

Drivers for its 2026 programs have yet to be announced.
