Team Porsche Malaysia will feature local talent Naquib Azlan in the 2026 Porsche Carrera Cup Asia, competing in the PRO category.
The champion of the 2025 Porsche Esports Sprint Challenge Malaysia in the Driven Dreamers category will drive the Porsche 911 Cup (992.2) #17.
Naquib Azlan’s participation is supported by Earl Bamber Motorsport (EBM) and Axle Motorsports.
From Sim Racing to the Real Track
The 26-year-old racer began his career in simulation racing in 2020. He then transitioned to real car racing through a program organized by Toyota Gazoo Racing Malaysia.
After being crowned the Driven Dreamers champion last year, Naquib was selected to join the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia Talent Pool.
Adding to his achievements, Naquib recently set the fastest lap record (1:35.391) at the Zhuhai International Circuit during the official PCCA 2026 test sessions held from February 28 to March 1.
“My first introduction to motorsports was through sim racing, and I was hooked from the very beginning. Competing in the Porsche Esports Sprint Challenge Malaysia opened doors I never imagined possible.
“To now race with Porsche Malaysia, which has a strong racing heritage, is an absolute honour. I’m grateful for the belief and support from the team at Porsche Malaysia, as well as the guidance from Axle Motorsports throughout this journey. I look forward to representing Malaysia and Porsche on the international stage,” said Naquib Azlan, race driver for Team Porsche Malaysia.
New Livery for Team Porsche Malaysia
The 911 GT3 Cup (992.2) that Naquib will drive this year features a new livery reflecting the Sime Motors brand.
The car’s roof is adorned with the official layout of the Porsche Experience Centre Singapore, which is set to open in 2027.
This facility, the first of its kind in Southeast Asia, promises a comprehensive track experience for customers and enthusiasts.
It is expected to further strengthen the presence of the Porsche brand and the motorsport culture in the region.

The first round of the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia 2026 will take place in Shanghai, China on March 14-15.
The Sepang International Circuit will host rounds 9, 10, and 11, featuring two sprint races and one endurance format race.
