EST1 Racing and Estonian racer Alex Reimann have wrapped their 2025 dual program in Porsche Carrera Cup France and Benelux. Across the season the pairing underlined front‑pack pace, clean execution and steady step‑by‑step progress. Focus now shifts to winter race preparation and a 2026 campaign built to fight for podiums.
France provided a clear benchmark. On Valencia’s fast, technical circuit Reimann took his best PCCF result to date — classified P4, just 0.2s off the podium — and closed the Paul Ricard finale with his biggest weekend points haul of the season (P6 and P7). The momentum was consistent: qualifying improvements carried into race pace, supported by data‑led setup, a disciplined pit routine and a clear run plan.
In Benelux the overtaking craft stood out. At Assen Reimann climbed into the top ten in both races and finished P8 twice; at Zolder he converted difficult grid positions into P9 and P7. Weekends that demanded composure in heavy traffic delivered exactly what we set out to achieve at the start of the year — clean work and reliable points.
The international footprint was equally important. Reimann became the first Estonian to race in Porsche Carrera Cup North America, while the Michelin 992 Endurance Cup 12‑hour race added a valuable P6. Those outings built a firm foundation in braking windows, tyre management and long‑stint rhythm — skills that will matter even more in 2026.
A new era is here: in 2026 Porsche one‑make competitions run with ABS on, while traction control remains off. EST1 Racing is ready. Our goal is to leverage the consistency that ABS brings, extend the attack zone into braking areas and increase the efficiency of our passes. Winter is our lab.
From January to March we line up in the Porsche Sprint Challenge Southern Europe. On Iberian circuits the focus is systematic mileage, ABS mapping and long‑run rhythm — so we arrive at the spring opener fully ready and in attack mode. In March the global showpiece awaits: the Porsche Carrera World Cup at Circuit de Barcelona‑Catalunya, where the aim is to fly the Estonian flag on the biggest Porsche Cup stage and compete at the sharp end.
“2025 proved that our pace and race management stack up,” said Alex Reimann. “Classified P4 in France and consistent top tens in Benelux give us a clear baseline. With ABS in for 2026 we’ll use PSCSE winter mileage to attack the brake zones with confidence and fight for podiums from round one.”
“We’re entering the ABS era with a data‑first approach — structured winter races, deeper braking analysis and repeatable execution,” added EST1 Racing Team Principal Raimo Kulli. “PSCSE sets the tone, Barcelona’s World Cup is the stage. The brief is simple: clean work, clear strategy and Estonia represented in the podium fight. When the driver can focus solely on driving, our job is done.”
For 2026 the main calendar brings EST1 Racing back to Porsche Carrera Cup France and Benelux. Entry details will be announced closer to the season, but the objective is clear: represent Estonia and fight for podiums at every round.
