2010 Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain

The 2010 Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain was the eighth season of the Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain series. The series again featured on the same package as the British Touring Car Championship, and as such benefited from live coverage at each round on ITV4 in the United Kingdom.^[1]

Reigning champion Tim Bridgman will not be back to defend his title in 2010 as he will be taking part in the Porsche Supercup.^[2] 2008 Champion Tim Harvey has announced his intention to return to the series for another year after losing out on the championship in 2009.^[3]

On 17 March 2010, the championship was officially launched at Silverstone, with the organisers unveiling a capacity entry list of 28 cars.^[4]
