Yardley Eyes Title in Porsche Carrera Cup North America Return

After finishing runner-up in the Pro championship in Porsche Carrera Cup North America last year, Ryan Yardley has his sights set on going one better in 2025.

In the most competitive season ever in Carrera Cup in North America, Yardley not only was a model of consistency, but he also took three victories including two wins in the last two weekends at Road Atlanta and Circuit of The Americas.

It was a giant-killing performance from Yardley and Topp Racing. While many of the leading teams in the series arrive with a fleet of cars, Topp Racing’s two-car Pro class effort (plus the Masters entry of Jeff Mosing) last year proved they are ready to tackle the ‘top dogs’ of the championship.

“It’s great to be back with Top Racing and TCS Fuels for another year of Carrera Cup North America. The goal is pretty simple – go and win a championship this year,” Yardley said.

“I’m super excited to get the year started. I love Sebring, so it’s pretty cool to start the year there, and I am really looking forward to getting going. “I know it is going to be a tough and fiercely competitive year as always but I’m excited to get back out there.”

Yardley landed in the US in 2018 with a dream. A standout in karting and single-seaters in New Zealand, his career had come to a halt due to a lack of funding.

Chasing the American dream was going to be hard – especially since he arrived without a budget, without a ride and only armed with a fierce desire to succeed.

“I jumped back on a plane in 2018 and never really thought this would happen – coming into my third season of Carrera Cup in a row.

I always hoped I’d get the opportunity to get back in a race car here in America. Still, I never knew how hard it was going to be and how hard the road is – not only New Zealand drivers – but drivers from around the world trying to stay relative and stay in a race car.

“I never ever would have dreamed of being in this situation and obviously it’s great to have some incredible people surrounding me and supporting me. I’m super happy to be back with Topp Racing and TCS. They are the ones that have made it happen for the last two years and to continue that into a third year is amazing.

“We showed last year that we were serious contenders for the championship and could fight for wins and podiums every race of the season. So it’s super cool to get the same group back together for another year, and let’s see if we can go one better than we did last year and finish the year on top.”

Yardley will start his 2025 campaign with the crucial pre-season test at Sebring International Raceway in early March. The official season opener will follow with a doubleheader at Sebring from March 12-14, supporting the IMSA 12 Hours of Sebring.

2025 Porsche Carrera Cup North America Calendar:

R1: Sebring International Raceway – March 12-15
