New for 2026

Porsche Motorsport North America (PMNA) has announced plans for Porsche Sprint Trophy Porsche Club of America by Yokohama, a new one-make racing series in collaboration with the Porsche Club of America (PCA). With more than 170,000 members, the PCA is the largest single-make auto enthusiast club in the world. That substantial member base includes a thriving club racing community with more than 1,000 active competitors to whom the new series is open. The 2026 calendar will integrate into established PCA Club Racing events at Sebring International Raceway, Lime Rock Park, Watkins Glen International, and Road America.

2026 Race Calendar

  • Jan. 31 – Feb. 1: Sebring International Raceway, Sebring, FL
  • June 5 – 6: Lime Rock Park, Lakeville, CT
  • July 10 – 12: Watkins Glen International, Watkins Glen, NY
  • Sept. 5 – 7: Road America, Elkhart Lake, WI

Porsche Sprint Trophy PCA is PCA Club Racing’s newest class, offering entry-level and experienced racers the chance to compete as a destination series or as a step in the North American Porsche Motorsport Pyramid, offering progression through Porsche Sprint and Endurance Challenges to Porsche Carrera Cup North America and into open-competition GT racing in IMSA and SRO. The series will feature the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (Types 992.1 & 991.2), along with the current Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport and its predecessor, the 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport, competing alongside each other in their own class during each event.

“The Porsche Club of America and its members are integral to the foundation of the North American Porsche Motorsport Pyramid,” said Volker Holzmeyer, President and CEO of Porsche Motorsport North America. “Porsche Sprint Trophy Porsche Club of America by Yokohama provides the perfect introduction to professional racing for new racers, while also serving as a destination for established club racers. We’ve long maintained a relationship with PCA. This new series represents an exciting next step by formalizing that relationship. The PCA racing community is defined by passion, camaraderie, and a genuine love for competition. We are excited to add to that legacy.”

Each event weekend will include two practice sessions, a qualifying session, and two 30-minute races. USAC will perform technical and safety inspections, while PMNA will provide engineering, parts, and marketing support to streamline the race weekend experience for participants. Class champions will be invited to the prestigious Porsche Night of Champions at the end-of-year celebration in Germany, and full-season One-Make participants will receive prioritized Porsche race car allocations.

PCA Club Racing enters its 34th year in 2026, with over 1,000 licensed racers and 26 sanctioned races per year – more than any other single-make racing organization in the world. Porsche Sprint Trophy PCA will complement the club’s culture of camaraderie while offering top-tier race cars from Porsche Motorsport North America.
