While the category did not race this season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, finishing the 2021 season at Australia's premier circuit will be a highlight.
"We are really looking forward to having the championship back up and running again next year and we feel we have delivered a calendar that all competitors will enjoy, allowing them to race on some of the best tracks across the country," Porsche Cars Australia's head of motorsport Troy Bundy said,
"Finishing the season at the Bathurst International will be a real highlight and will provide great coverage and exposure for all our teams, drivers and partners."
The six-round series, which caters for the previous generation Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars, will again feature as one of the headline acts on the Shannons Motorsport Australia Championships program for 2021.
The 2021 schedule sees the series start in February at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit in Victoria. Competitors then travel to Sydney Motorsport Park in NSW in early May before heading to Morgan Park in Queensland in late June.
Teams then return to the historic, Sandown International Raceway in Victoria in September before venturing further south to The Bend Motorsport Park in Tailem Bend, South Australia for the penultimate round of the series in mid-October.
The final round will be held at the Bathurst International, and the series will again include endurance races as part of the Jim Richards Endurance Trophy.
As a feeder category for Australia's premier one-make championship, Porsche Carrera Cup Australia, the Porsche Sprint Challenge forms the first domestic step for many young, talented racing drivers wishing to climb the Porsche Motorsport pyramid.
